FSLR · PEAD ↑ 100

First Solar reported Q2 2026 EPS of $3.92 on 2026-07-30, beating the $2.74 consensus by $1.18 (+43.1%).

Print-day reaction was +3.4% versus the prior close, as the market absorbed a substantial earnings beat after the close. The overnight gap to the T+1 open added another +3.3%, signalling no fade in after-hours trading and setting the stage for continuation. Days 1–3 drift extended a further +15.4%, an unusually strong post-reaction continuation with no meaningful give-back across the window. Cumulative abnormal return of +16.5% versus SPY.US places this firmly in PEAD long territory; the documented pattern holds through 2026-10-27.
