First Solar is trading 4.1% up at $179.16 as solar-sector selling eases and investors buy the dip after a sharp two-day decline.

  • The rebound follows a 10.32% decline on September 24.
  • BMO upgraded First Solar to Outperform, citing better potential U.S. module pricing; patent-strategy developments and analyst target cuts remain overhangs.
  • Broader equities are only modestly higher, making sector-specific recovery the stronger explanation.
