Significance 4/10

CEO Mark R Widmar sold 7,172 shares at $264.89 average for $1.9M under pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan.

Mark R Widmar, CEO of First Solar, executed 17 separate sales totaling 7,172 shares for $1,899,802.32 under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-11-06. The sales occurred across two trading dates (May 22–26, 2026) at prices ranging from $250.02 to $276.29, with a blended average of $264.89. Because this transaction is scheduled under a 10b5-1 plan rather than discretionary, it reflects a predetermined execution schedule rather than a market timing judgment. Post-transaction, Widmar retains 81,861 shares, representing an 8.1% reduction from his prior 89,033-share position. The stock currently trades at $273.67, near its 52-week high of $285.99, and has risen 38.6% over 30 days and 36.8% over 90 days; however, the company's fundamentals remain solid with $1.0B in quarterly revenue, $346.6M net income, and 24.1% annual revenue growth at a P/E of 17.66.

Significance 4/10

CEO Mark Widmar executes 13 sales totaling 4,815 shares for $1,191,377.84 under pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan

Mark R Widmar, Chief Executive Officer, executed 13 separate sales on 2026-05-21 totaling 4,815 shares for $1,191,377.84 via a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-11-06. The sales reduced his holdings from 93,848 shares to 89,033 shares, representing a -5.1% reduction in pre-transaction holdings. This activity is scheduled rather than discretionary under the 10b5-1 framework. First Solar's fundamentals remain solid with annual revenue growth of +24.1%, net income of $346,619,000.00, and a P/E of 16.64, though the stock is -9.8% from its 52-week high of $285.99 despite a strong 30-day surge of +36.6%.

Sell
11,226 shares
$2,626,914
Significance 3/10

CEO Widmar disposed of ~11,200 shares for $2.6M across eight transactions, his 13th sale at FSLR in three years.

Mark Widmar, First Solar's CEO, sold approximately 11,200 shares in early May 2026 for a combined $2.6M—a reduction of roughly 1.4% to 2.2% per transaction across eight sales. This represents his 13th open-market sale at FSLR in the past three years and adds to a long pattern of dispositions with no offsetting open-market purchases during the period. The stock was trading well below its 52-week high at the time of sale and has gained modestly over the preceding three months. Widmar's prior five sales at this ticker have shown mixed timing results: one was well-timed at the 30-day mark as the stock subsequently declined slightly, but over the 90-day horizon all five of his prior exits saw the stock rise afterward, indicating poor long-term timing on those previous dispositions. The company itself remains profitable with strong annual revenue growth and trades at a reasonable valuation multiple, so the sale does not signal financial distress; however, a CEO with zero open-market purchases across five years combined with a long pattern of pure selling activity warrants attention to insider confidence trends.

Significance 6/10

CEO Widmar sells 5,537 FSLR shares for $1,054,023.32 across 4 transactions on 2026-03-09

Mark R Widmar, CEO of First Solar, executed 4 separate sales totaling 5,537 shares for $1,054,023.32 at $190.36 on March 9, 2026, reducing his holdings by 5.3% to 99,879 shares. The stock has since declined 9.6% over 30 days and 24.6% over 90 days, currently trading at $197.80 (-30.5% from its 52-week high of $284.59). His prior sales at FSLR (five measurable trades since August 2025) posted positive 30- and 90-day returns, indicating they were poorly timed relative to subsequent price rallies; however, this filing's sales are recent and outcome timing is not yet established. Against a backdrop of strong fundamentals—annual revenue growth of +24.1%, net income of $455,943,000.00, and a modest P/E of 12.97—the large equity stake sale by the company's top executive warrants scrutiny of whether this reflects internal strategic considerations distinct from the company's published financial trajectory.

Sell
7,738 shares
$1,516,106
Significance 5/10

CEO Mark R Widmar sold 7,738 shares of FSLR at $195.93; stock now -12.4% in 30 days, -22.9% in 90 days.

CEO Mark R Widmar sold 7,738 shares at $195.93 on 2026-03-03, reducing holdings from 99,525 to 91,787 shares. The sale occurred as FIRST SOLAR stock has declined sharply: -12.4% over 30 days and -22.9% over 90 days from the transaction date, now trading at $197.53, down 30.6% from its 52-week high of $284.59. His prior five sales at FSLR (all on 2025-08-13) occurred before a sustained 39–42% rally over 90 days, indicating poor timing at that ticker. This sale took place as the company reports strong fundamentals—$1.6B quarterly revenue, $455.9M net income, 24.1% annual revenue growth, and a modest 12.95 P/E ratio on a $21.2B market cap—yet the recent price action suggests significant headwinds despite operational strength.

27,708 shares
$5,145,654
Significance 6/10

CEO Mark Widmar sold 27,708 shares at $181.78–$189.91 for $5,145,653.95, reducing stake by 24.8%

CEO Mark Widmar executed 11 separate sales across two days (August 12–13, 2025) totaling 27,708 shares for $5,145,653.95, with a blended average price of $185.71. This represents a -24.8% reduction in his holdings from 111,890 shares to 84,182 shares, a material contraction of his position. At the prior FSLR ticker level, his 5 prior sells have shown mixed timing outcomes: 3 of those 5 prior sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark, but the most recent sell (2025-02-28) experienced a -9.8% 30-day return followed by a +10.5% 90-day return, indicating the stock reversed upward post-sale. The current stock price of $180.05 is -29.6% from the 52-week high of $255.75, suggesting a sharp recent decline; the sale prices at $185.71 blended average represent a near-term capture before further deterioration. With revenue growth at +26.8% year-over-year and a P/E of 15.36, the company's fundamentals remain solid, which frames this large discrete sale against a profitable, growing business rather than a distress signal.

Sell
21,542 shares
$3,039,361
Significance 6/10

CEO Mark Widmar sold 21.5K FSLR shares at $141.09 on 2025-02-28; stock now $127.63 (-57.6% from 52-week high)

CEO Mark Widmar sold 21,542 shares at $141.09, reducing his holdings by 17.2% to 103,403 shares post-transaction. The timing is noteworthy: the stock has fallen 23.8% in the 30 days and 38.5% in the 90 days since the sale, tracking consistent with Widmar's prior execution at this ticker—4 of 5 recent sells at FSLR showed negative 90-day returns, indicating a pattern of selling before declines. Against the company's strong fundamentals (26.8% annual revenue growth, $313.0M net income, P/E of 7.99), the sharp recent price deterioration and the CEO's discretionary sale execution warrant scrutiny into whether macroeconomic or operational headwinds are emerging.
