Shares of solar panel manufacturer First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR)
fell 5.5% in the afternoon session after continued weakness in the clean energy sector driven by concerns over new tariffs and changes to government subsidies. The slide in clean energy stocks, including First Solar, comes as investors weigh the impact of President Trump's announcement of new tariffs of 25%–40% on 14 countries.

This combination of potentially higher costs from tariffs and the removal of government financial support is pressuring the outlook for solar companies.
