    Moses Sutton's questions to First Solar Inc (FSLR) leadership

    Moses Sutton's questions to First Solar Inc (FSLR) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Moses Sutton from BNP Paribas asked whether the large 70-gigawatt North America booking opportunity pipeline represents incremental market demand or a reallocation of demand from competitors facing supply chain disruptions.

    Answer

    CEO Mark Widmar responded that it is likely a mix of both. He cited examples of customers coming to First Solar after their Chinese suppliers reneged on deals, suggesting a reallocation of existing demand. However, he also believes some of the pipeline is incremental, particularly from hyperscaler and AI-related data center demand, which could be a new catalyst for near-term market growth.

    Moses Sutton's questions to Itron Inc (ITRI) leadership

    Moses Sutton's questions to Itron Inc (ITRI) leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    A representative for Moses Sutton asked about the expected lumpiness of Outcomes segment margins heading into 2025 and how the mix of recurring revenue versus one-off deals will impact the margin profile.

    Answer

    CFO Joan Hooper stated that while she expects full-year 2025 Outcomes gross margins to increase versus 2024, there will continue to be quarter-to-quarter variability due to the segment's subscale nature. She cautioned against using Q4's high 44% margin, which was boosted by one-time license revenue, as a new baseline, reiterating that lumpiness will persist even as the margin trend improves annually.
