Shares of First Solar (FSLR) rose after Goldman Sachs upgraded the stock to a conviction buy. Â
Our view is that FSLR has reached a resistance zone and may be due for a pullback as the corrective phase its market cycle approaches.
Goldman Sachs analyst Brian Lee upgraded First Solar to Conviction Buy and increased his target price from $64 to $75.
