Roth Capital Recommends Investors To Buy The Dip In TE

Roth Capital Partners said T1 Energy remains compliant with Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) requirements and stands out as a transparent domestic manufacturer bringing advanced technology and production capacity to the U.S.

The firm believes this strategy aligns closely with the Trump administration’s industrial policy priorities.

Roth also named T1 Energy among its top picks for 2026, reiterating its ‘Buy’ rating and $10 price target, implying a potential upside of 14% from current levels.

What Did Fuzzy Panda Say About TE?

Fuzzy Panda disclosed a short position in T1 Energy on Tuesday, alleging the company has undisclosed ties to China.

The short seller claimed T1 Energy does not comply with FEOC rules despite portraying itself as compliant, citing alleged operational and intellectual property ties to Chinese solar manufacturer Trina Solar.

The report also alleged that T1 Energy’s access to key U.S. solar tax credits relies on an intellectual property transfer involving Singapore-based Evervolt, which it claims is closely tied to Trina Solar rather than operating independently.

“We tried to save clean energy investors when we warned about Eos Energy (EOSE) at the end of October 2025. EOSE’s stock is down -50% since. We believe the downside at T1 Energy is even higher,” the firm stated.

Fuzzy Panda Flags Tax Credit Risk

Fuzzy Panda also alleged that T1 Energy faces accounting risks related to unapproved tax credits, claiming the company inflated its first-quarter 2026 profits by booking anticipated benefits that may never be realized.

“T1 is further doomed to be non-FEOC compliant because the T1/Trina/Evervolt IP agreement transpired on Dec 29, 2025 – 5 months AFTER the deadline,” the firm stated.

How Did Retail Investors React To TE?

Retail sentiment on Stocktwits around T1 Energy trended in the ‘extremely bullish’ territory with message volumes at ‘extremely high’ levels at the time of writing.
