First Solar authorizes $500M for stock buybacks

How big is it?

First Solar didn't buy back any stock in the twelve months to Sep 30, 2026, so this program would be a restart.

The amount equals 215% of its free cash flow over the same twelve months ($233M).

Its diluted share count is up 0.2% from a year earlier.

An authorization is permission, not a promise: the company can buy less, more slowly, or not at all, and usually doesn't have to say when it buys.
