Event Summary

Rosen Law Firm reminds investors of the August 24, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline in a securities class action against First Solar, Inc. The lawsuit alleges that during the Class Period (February 26, 2025 to February 24, 2026), First Solar made false and misleading statements regarding its ability to manage U.S. tariff policy impacts, including underutilization of facilities in Malaysia and Vietnam and relocation of production to the U.S., which negatively affected its 2026 fiscal year performance. Investors who purchased First Solar securities during the Class Period may be eligible for compensation.
