First Solar, Inc. (FSLR) shares rose by 8% following investor interest driven by recent long-dated put sales and the implications of new tariff policies. Analysts at BMO Capital highlighted that the company's potential as a long-term winner is bolstered by tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, which affect Southeast Asian solar exporters with an average rate of 39%.
