Behind First Solar's Terrible Fourth Quarter

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR) reported fourth-quarter earnings after the market closed on Thursday, and there wasn't a lot for investors to like. Revenue was weak, it reported a surprise loss, and even future bookings weren't what they seemed.

In a year that should be extremely bullish for the solar industry, amid strong demand and rising solar panel pricing, First Solar doesn't seem to be executing up to its own high standards.
