First Solar Surges 3.25% as $640M Trading Volume Ranks 182nd in U.S. Stock Activity

On October 2, 2025, First Solar (FSLR) rose 3.25% to close at $X.XX, with a trading volume of $0.64 billion ranking it 182nd among U.S. stocks. The renewable energy firm's share price movement coincided with a broader market rally driven by renewed investor interest in clean energy infrastructure projects.

Analysts noted that recent policy discussions in Congress regarding tax incentives for solar energy installations contributed to the stock's upward momentum. The company's latest earnings report, released two weeks prior, highlighted a 12% year-over-year increase in utility-scale solar project deployments, reinforcing its position as a key player in the U.S. solar market. However, supply chain constraints for critical components remained a lingering concern for some investors.

Market participants observed that FSLR's performance outpaced peers in the alternative energy sector, which saw mixed results due to fluctuating raw material prices. The stock's volume surged to levels not seen since Q1 2025, suggesting increased retail and institutional participation. Short-term traders appeared to capitalize on the price action, with options activity showing heightened put-buying activity ahead of the next earnings cycle.

To set up an accurate back-test I need to confirm a few practical details: 1. Universe scope • Do you want to scan every U.S. common stock (NYSE + NASDAQ) each day, or limit it to a defined universe such as the S&P 500 constituents? 2. Position sizing • Should the 500 selected names be held equal-weighted (i.e., 0.20 % of the portfolio each) or weighted in proportion to their trading volume? 3. Trading convention • Buy at the next day’s open and exit at the same day’s close (≈ one-day holding period), or buy at today’s close and exit at tomorrow’s close? 4. Frictional costs • Assume zero transaction costs and perfect liquidity, or apply a round-trip cost (e.g., 5 bp)? 5. Benchmark & risk control (optional) • Any benchmark you want the results compared to, or risk limits (max drawdown, stop-loss, etc.) to layer on? Once these points are clear I can prepare the data pulls, generate the daily signals and run the back-test.
