What the numbers say

First Solar is a semiconductors name in the information technology sector. Over the past year it returned +1.4%, against +0.3% over three months and +7.9% over one. It sits 5.0% below its 200-day average, close enough that the trend is genuinely undecided. Annualized volatility of 53.5% is very high — position sizing matters more here than the ranking does.

Its worst peak-to-trough decline over the year was -37.4%, and it has traded a median $492M a day — the figure that decides whether a position can actually be entered and exited at posted prices. Its daily moves correlate 0.43 with the S&P 500 proxy, so it has been moving substantially on its own.
