Frequently asked questions
Is FSLR growing its revenue and profit?
Over the past 5 years, First Solar's revenue has grown 14.0% per year, and net income grown 30.9% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.
How much debt does FSLR have?
As of FY2025, First Solar reported $499M of total debt against $2.8B of cash; operating income covered interest expense 36×.
What is FSLR's profit margin?
In FY2025, gross margin was 40.6%, operating margin 30.6%, and net margin 29.3%.
What is FSLR's P/E ratio?
First Solar's P/E (TTM) is 10.83 as of the 2026-11-03 close — market cap ÷ net income over the trailing twelve months where four consecutive quarters are reported, otherwise the latest fiscal year, the same figure as on the FSLR stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 13.2× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.
Where does this data come from?
All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.

growth rates, valuation multiples & ratios computed by tradmap. Valuation uses each month-end price
against the latest annual filing. Informational only — not investment advice.
