Renewables are the futureAlthough not necessarily for First Solar. Read on...
Positive fundamentals
First Solar focuses on module manufacturing and developing utility-scale solar plants. I work for grid operators (Europe), and see them doing more and more experiments with renewables. Developing batteries for storage, new grid components for PV (solar panels on roofs) that enable 'peak trashing', 'cable pooling' and more. Utilities are also focusing (since multiple years already) on developing a smart grid that enables the installment of renewables. Current electricity cables are chiefly installed with one-way currents in mind. However, due to decentralized renewables (PV, heat pumps, wind mills), a paradigm shift occurred. First Solar plays a small role in this new tune grid operators are playing.
Negative fundamentals
Buying $FSLR comes with plenty of fundamental risk:
1) Trump's opinion on renewables will not do the stock good and any negative news might send the stock down.
2) Trump is not keen on businesses doing a lot of business with foreign countries ($FSLR trades heavily with China). On the other hand, Chinese solar providers might see more barriers to exporting their panels to the U.S., boosting $FSLR sales.
3) Additionally, $SCTY will be a competitor soon, as they're also getting in $FSLR's sector. With $TSLA at its back $FSLR might struggle in the coming years. Note that $SCTY is planning to build a huge plant in NY, perhaps gaining approval from Trump.
3) A quick glance on the income statement shows declining FCF and revenues and increasing debt.
Positive technicals
1) The 16-nov key level is quite important and might find support there soon. Note that positive news was brought out after the market closed, so look at the price action of 17-nov: almost 14% up. Since then it didn't make a new low.
2) At 16-nov it had the highest volume in an up-move. Down-moves at earnings report have higher volumes though.
Some more background facts:
Here in our country, the head of the Dutch petrol/gas company believes natural gas will only be used for industry and transport in 50 years, not for warming households. He wants to use the gains from the Dutch gas bubble to invest in renewables.

FSLR, a potential reversal candidate or just more garbage?FSLR, made a nice little off oversold conditions around 34ish area. Now hitting a bigger resistance area around 40.
FSLR supportIf RSI can reverse back above 30 before price breaks the 61.8 on a weekly close, could try long with stops just below.
breakdown 36.79 is the base pointI personally dont like this sector because is very volatile, but this one looks awesome
FSLR LONGTERM LongFSLR has broken out of the long downward trend and is now correcting.
Weekly Divergence + .618 key fib level
Daily Resistance zone Level + 1.27 Fib extension of last impulse
4hr divergence.
Contracting wave correction about to finish.
This stock could go lower to the .707, but it is at an interesting point and is worth keeping an eye on. I would personally wait for it to break out of the 4hr downtrend instead of trying to catch the bottom.
