Shares of First Solar (FSLR) continue to hang in around the $120 level and today got a much needed jolt higher above that level with volume. The move is a little surprising considering Jefferies came out with cautious comments on the company saying they believe they will lower guidance when they report earnings in August. Jefferies lowered Q2 estimates from $.94 to $.90 (below consensus of $1.00).
