How Low Can First Solar Stock Go In A Market Crash

First Solar has consistently underperformed the S&P 500 during major market crashes, with an average decline of 56%. Notable drops include 72% during the Global Financial Crisis compared to 57% for the S&P 500, and 53% during the 2018 Correction versus 20%. Typically, First Solar took significant time to find its bottom, ranging from one to six months after crises. Recovery times also varied: it took four months to regain pre-crisis levels post-COVID and Inflation Shock, but 22 months after the 2018 Correction, and it has yet to recover from the Global Financial Crisis. This historical pattern underscores First Solar’s vulnerability and sensitivity to market downturns, rather than demonstrating resilience.
