Business Outlook
Pros
Excellent manufacturing expansion of a great product, manufacturing growth in the US and successful transition to S6 have allowed First Solar to stay relevant against the 100GW Chinese machine. Transparent leadership team.
Cons
It’s hard to see how FS can afford the future R&D expense to keep their “panel output” advantage against the Chinese machine. Headwinds of margin erosion will increase year over year. While shedding of non-complimentary business lines will improve the cost base, advice to anyone looking to join FS solar needs to understand that the “future “ FS is likely to be very different to its past. If you like fast paced challenges - then jump in, you will learn a lot from a great team.
