First Solar Inc. FSLR shares traded lower on Tuesday. The losses added to the stock’s persistent sell-off which has lasted since the beginning of January.
What To Know: First Solar stock ended 2023 on a strong note, rising to a three-month high by the close of the year. However, the stock sold off steadily since the new year began. Shares fell another 7% on Tuesday despite any company-specific news.
