Third-quarter numbers were decent, but the future is looking a little cloudy for First Solar. A global slowdown in solar demand has hit First Solar, Inc. ( NASDAQ:FSLR ) just as the company is expanding its own supply of solar panels. The result wasn't a bad quarter in the third quarter of 2018, but bookings of future sales have slowed dramatically , and management has cut guidance, which raises lots of questions about the future. There are both positive and negative signs for First Solar right now, so let's dig into the results and what investors should be looking at in last quarter's numbers. Image source: First Solar.
