SBS reminds investors about First Solar securities lawsuit over tariff, operations claims
Schall, Brown & Schwartz LLP issued a reminder about a class action against First Solar over alleged misleading statements about tariffs and shifting operations to the United States.
Schall, Brown & Schwartz LLP says investors who bought First Solar shares during a stated class period may contact the firm about a securities lawsuit tied to tariff and operations claims.
Schall, Brown & Schwartz LLP said in an Aug. 3, 2026 press release that it is reminding investors about a class action securities lawsuit against First Solar, Inc. The firm said the suit concerns allegations that First Solar made false and misleading statements about tariffs and about shifting operations from Malaysia and Vietnam to the United States.
The matter affects investors who bought First Solar shares, which trade on Nasdaq under the ticker FSLR, during the class period the release identified as Feb. 26, 2025 through Feb. 24, 2026. The release said the class has not yet been certified and that investors may contact the firm about possible lead plaintiff appointments.
According to the press release, the complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5. It says the allegations center on claims that First Solar overstated its ability to mitigate tariff impacts on its operations and overstated its ability to move operations to the United States from Malaysia and Vietnam.
The release described Schall, Brown & Schwartz LLP as a national shareholder rights litigation firm. It also said lead plaintiff status is not required to share in any recovery.
The press release named Brian Schall and David Schwartz as firm contacts and gave the firm’s Los Angeles office as the point of contact. It also listed a phone number, website and email address.
What happens next depends on the progress of the lawsuit and any court actions on class certification or lead plaintiff appointments. The press release did not include a response from First Solar.
