The U.S. Department of Commerce has imposed tariffs as high as 3,521% on solar equipment imported from four Southeast Asian nations, concluding a&nbsp;year-long trade probe that found manufacturers from Southeast Asia were undercutting domestic producers through unfair pricing and subsidies.The new measures build on broader tariffs introduced by President Donald Trump in early April.While domestic manufacturers welcomed the outcome, clean energy developers warn the tariffs could increase costs and delay projects.&nbsp;The Solar Energy Industries Association stated that the move could hinder the growth of U.S.-based panel assembly facilities that rely on imported components.&nbsp;“The U.S. Department of Commerce is out of step with the administration’s clean energy goals,” the group said in a statement.Supporters of the investigation, including the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee, argued the duties were necessary. “This is a decisive victory for American manufacturing,” said Tim Brightbill, lead counsel to the group.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/FSLR">Shares of First Solar</a> (FSLR) rose as much as 10% on Tuesday, while shares of&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TE">T1 Energy</a> (TE), which recently launched operations in Texas, gained 9.2%.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MAXN">Maxeon Solar Technologies</a> (MAXN) stock climbed 5%.Cambodian exporters that did not fully cooperate with the inquiry are facing the steepest penalties, including tariffs of 3,521%.&nbsp;Products made in Malaysia by Chinese manufacturer Jinko Solar will face some of the lowest duties, at just over 41%, while Trina Solar’s Thailand-made goods will be subject to a 375% duty.The final determination from the International Trade Commission is expected in June.

US Solar Panel Tariffs Spark Debate: Manufacturers Cheer, Developers Warn Of Delays

The duties, reaching as high as 3,521%, conclude an investigation by domestic solar manufacturers who claimed that solar imports from Southeast Asia were unfairly subsidized.

Equity

Shares of Maxeon Solar Technologies (MAXN) slipped nearly 7% in mid-day trade on Friday, ending the stock's&nbsp;eight-day rally set off by reports that the Biden administration may exempt Mexico from tariffs on imported solar equipment – a change that would primarily benefit Maxeon.According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-21/biden-mulls-tariff-break-for-solar-modules-from-mexico">Bloomberg</a>, citing people similar to the matter, senior officials within the Biden administration were weighing trade policy discussions involving Mexico and longstanding administration struggles to nurture domestic clean energy manufacturing without chilling solar power deployment that has for years relied on cheap foreign-made equipment.Maxeon’s solar panels have been detained at the Mexican border by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) since Jul. 2024 while officials assess the company’s compliance with trade curbs meant to discourage alleged human rights abuses in China.&nbsp;According to the company’s latest statement on the issue, the detention has affected multiple product lines, including residential solar modules Maxeon 3 and Maxeon 6 and Performance 6 commercial modules.&nbsp;In November, the company announced a broad restructuring, shifting to focus exclusively on the US market and selling off other operations.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1297/296;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_12_27_134553_ca433e03fe.png" alt="Screenshot 2024-12-27 134553.png" width="1297" height="296"><figcaption>Maxeon Solar Technologies.

Maxeon’s 8-day Rally Ends As Biden’s Tax Plan For Mexico Imports Remains In Limbo, But Retail Sentiment Shifts Bullish

Maxeon’s solar panels have been detained at the Mexican border by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) since Jul. 2024.

<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MAXN">Shares of Maxeon Solar</a> tumbled over 8% in morning trading on Friday after the company posted a significant earnings beat but fell short on revenue.The solar manufacturer’s&nbsp;adjusted loss of $0.47 per share was much lower than the anticipated loss of $4.13, reflecting a considerable improvement from a loss of $221 per share&nbsp;a year earlier.However, revenue&nbsp;of $88.56 million&nbsp;missed the $140.49 million analysts expected.“Third quarter results were distorted due to deliveries detained by the United States Customs and Border Protection, fixed costs associated with factory shutdowns and low production levels, and costs and write-offs from our ongoing restructuring,” stated Maxeon CEO George Guo.“On top of this, we continue to observe depressed prices as a result of the global oversupply and intense competition,” he added.This marks the second straight quarter that U.S. customs issues have pressured the company's earnings. In&nbsp;the second quarter, the Singapore-based firm reported a $7.8 million loss, primarily due to detained modules from its Mexican factories disrupting sales.In Q3, losses skyrocketed to $179 million — a staggering 23-fold increase.U.S. customs began detaining Maxeon's modules in July to review the company’s compliance with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA).&nbsp; It resulted in the company withdrawing its 2024 forecast in September due to the uncertainty surrounding imports to its largest market.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1298/295;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_12_06_100347_0d496c50b1.png" alt="Screenshot 2024-12-06 100347.png" width="1298" height="295"><figcaption>Maxeon Solar Sentiment and Message Volume on Dec 6 as of 7:00 a.m. ET | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Retail sentiment around the stock improved to ‘bullish’ (62/100) from ‘bearish’ ahead of the earnings, and chatter increased to ‘high’ with many investors stating that they saw the losses coming, and were satisfied with the earnings beat.&nbsp;<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Trader202109/message/595363706</stembedurl><stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Biksi/message/595318097</stembedurl>Maxeon Solar also deferred from holding an earnings call and providing guidance until the company’s restructuring, announced late last month, is complete.“As we establish our new strategy to transform Maxeon, we are highly focused on our financial position. We intend to reserve sufficient liquidity for daily operations, while we recapitalize the company to fund our restructuring and growth,” stated Maxeon Solar CFO Dmitri Hu.The company’s stock has taken a hit of 98% this year, losing nearly all of its market value.&nbsp;For updates and corrections email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/entergy-stock-soars-power-meta-largest-data-center-in-louisiana/cJ9A0jRRLm">Entergy Stock Jumps On Partnership To Power Meta’s Largest Data Centre: Retail Lights Up</a>

This Week’s Hottest Themes: Biotech (RFK Jr. Meddling), Space (Trump's Space Force),&nbsp; AI (The Theme of the Year)&nbsp;WealthyVC.com scans North America’s 10,000+ publicly listed stocks across all seven exchanges to find the market-moving news that matters. Our focus is on quality, liquid, growth-oriented companies in sectors actively drawing capital. This targeted approach, combined with real-time news surveillance, helps us uncover stocks poised for powerful multi-day or multi-month moves—often long before Wall Street analysts catch on.Here's a list of today's most important names:1. Cassava Sciences (NASDAQ: SAVA)Background: Cassava Sciences is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on Alzheimer’s disease. Its investigational drug, Simufilam, has been central to its research efforts.The News: Cassava's stock took a dramatic plunge after disappointing Phase 3 trial results for Simufilam, followed by a social media storm triggered by Martin Shkreli’s scathing critique of the drug’s efficacy. Shkreli, calling Simufilam’s mechanism “implausible,” encouraged short-sellers, predicting a sharp decline in the stock. The failure of the trial and Shkreli’s influence sent shares tumbling by more than 85%, from nearly $30 per share to under $5.What It Means: This setback emphasizes the significant risks in Alzheimer's drug development. With most Alzheimer’s trials failing, investors now question the credibility of Cassava’s lead drug. While the company still has resources to pivot, the stock’s credibility has been deeply shaken, and the road ahead is uncertain.Stock Reaction: Yesterday the stock opened at $30 but closed near $5, reflecting a swift and steep sell-off. The market’s reaction shows how quickly investor sentiment can turn negative on biotech stocks, particularly in high-risk, high-reward sectors like Alzheimer’s treatment.&nbsp;2. Poseida Therapeutics (NASDAQ: PSTX)Background: Poseida is a biopharmaceutical company specializing in gene therapies, particularly CAR-T treatments for cancer.The News: Poseida announced a significant partnership with Roche, securing $110 million upfront and up to $1 billion in potential milestones. This deal is aimed at accelerating Poseida's CAR-T therapies and other cell and gene therapy technologies.What It Means: This collaboration is a major validation for Poseida’s technology, especially in the competitive CAR-T space, which has attracted attention due to its potential to treat cancers. The cash infusion from Roche is expected to fuel further research and development.Stock Reaction: Poseida opened at $9.26, up over 200%, rising slightly to close at $9.38. The market responded favorably to the news, viewing the Roche deal as a solid indication of Poseida’s future potential in the cancer treatment landscape.&nbsp;3. KULR Technology Group (NYSE: KULR)Background: KULR specializes in thermal management technologies for energy storage and aerospace.The News: KULR Technology Group has received a U.S. Navy contract to develop its Internal Short Circuit (ISC) technology to operate at higher temperatures. This upgrade is important for both military and commercial applications, especially in aviation where it aligns with safety standards. The ISC devices, originally developed with NASA and NREL, simulate controlled thermal runaway in lithium-ion cells for more accurate and safer testing of battery behavior in extreme conditions.What It Means: The Navy contract could serve as a major stepping stone for KULR, providing the company with exposure to one of the most demanding industries for thermal solutions. This deal not only enhances KULR’s credibility but may also open doors for similar partnerships in the aerospace and defense sectors.Stock Reaction: The stock opened at $0.80 and climbed another 20% reaching $0.96 by mid-morning on volume that is 1,000%+ higher than average.&nbsp;4. POET Technologies (NASDAQ: POET)Background: POET is a leader in photonics technology, designing advanced semiconductor solutions aimed at AI, telecommunications, and data storage.The News: POET Technologies (NASDAQ: POET) is ramping up production of its optical engines to meet the increasing demand from AI applications. A recent report highlighted that while many companies in the UK are adopting AI, few have integrated it into their manufacturing processes, which could hinder innovation and productivity. The report suggests that government support and regulations could help accelerate AI adoption in industries.What It Means: As AI applications continue to expand, POET’s new platform could be a game-changer. The optical interposer aims to address the bottlenecks in data processing by enabling faster, more efficient communication between chips, which is crucial for AI and big data.Stock Reaction: POET opened at $4.38 and rose to $5.35 (up 22%) by mid-day on volume 3x higher than average.&nbsp;5.

SurgePays aims to scale its retail presence by utilizing PAX's wide reach in the payment terminal industry.What It Means: SurgePays continues to capitalize on the significant need for affordable financial services and wireless solutions in underserved communities. This strong performance suggests the company’s business model is scaling effectively, positioning it well for future growth.Stock Reaction: SurgePays opened at $2.00 and surged to $2.20, up 10%, trading average volume.&nbsp;6. TOYO Ventures Holdings (NASDAQ: TOYO)Background: TOYO Co., Ltd. is a solar solutions company focused on becoming a full-service provider in the global market. It integrates all stages of the solar power supply chain, including wafer and silicon production, solar cell manufacturing, and photovoltaic module production. TOYO is positioned to produce high-quality solar cells at a competitive scale and cost.The News: TOYO Co., Ltd (Nasdaq: TOYO) has secured a $150 million contract to supply high-efficiency solar cells to a major solar module manufacturer. The agreement will support solar module production in India and the U.S., leveraging TOYO’s advanced manufacturing capabilities in Vietnam and Ethiopia. This contract highlights the company's commitment to sustainable energy and the global shift towards renewable resources.What It Means: The $150 million contract is a major win for TOYO Co., Ltd, solidifying its role as a key player in the solar energy sector. It highlights the company’s advanced manufacturing capabilities and global reach, particularly in India and the U.S. For the market, the deal signals continued growth in the solar industry, boosting confidence in renewable energy technologies and potentially attracting more investment. TOYO’s expanded presence in key markets could strengthen its competitive position as demand for efficient solar cells rises..Stock Reaction: Shares opened at $5.56, up 39% to retrace to $4.50 by mid-morning and closing at $5.41 on eye-poping 1,500x average volume.&nbsp;&nbsp;7. Anavex Life Sciences (NASDAQ: AVXL)Background:&nbsp;Anavex Life Sciences develops treatments for neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Its lead drug, ANAVEX®2-73, has shown positive results in Phase 2 trials, while the company is also developing ANAVEX®3-71 for Alzheimer's.The News:Anavex Life Sciences has submitted a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for its drug, blarcamesine (ANAVEX®2-73), to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Blarcamesine, an orally administered small molecule, showed significant clinical improvement in patients over 48 weeks, with better efficacy than approved therapies and a slower rate of neurodegeneration in early Alzheimer's patients. Its safety profile eliminates the need for routine MRI monitoring, making it a promising treatment option.What It Means:&nbsp;The MAA submission for blarcamesine to the EMA is a positive development for Anavex Life Sciences, potentially boosting its stock if approved. If successful, blarcamesine could open new revenue streams and strengthen investor confidence. For the broader market, this signals progress in Alzheimer’s treatment, potentially drawing more investment into biotech, especially in neurodegenerative diseases.Stock Reaction: Anavex opened at $10.30 up 10% from Monday's close, but cratered almost 20% from that high by mid-afternoon closing nearly flat from the previous day's close on slightly higher than average volume.&nbsp;&nbsp;Be The First to Know:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://wealthyvc.com/newsletter-sign-up/">Our email list eats first!

Maxeon, along with its peers in the renewable energy space, has faced heavy selling pressure since the recent U.S. election.

Maxeon Solar Stock Pops Ahead Of Earnings, Retail Leans Into Short-Squeeze Showdown

Shares of solar and renewable energy stocks faced significant pre-market declines on Wednesday as investors expressed concerns over the implications of Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election.&nbsp;Trump reclaimed the presidency after securing the necessary 270 Electoral College votes, as reported by major news outlets.&nbsp;Known for his skepticism toward climate change and support for fossil fuels, Trump is expected to push for the rollback or modification of green policies enacted by the previous administration, including solar tax credits and other clean energy incentives under President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).Among the hardest hit were First Solar Inc.

US Election 2024: Solar Stocks Dim On Trump Win As Fear Of Subsidy Cuts Loom, But Retail Keeps Calm

Trump is expected to push for the rollback or modification of green policies enacted by the Biden administration.

Shares of First Solar, Inc. (FSLR) jumped nearly 12% on Wednesday, alongside other solar energy stocks, as Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to outperform former President Donald Trump in their first debate.Investors believe a Harris win would boost the clean energy sector, buoyed by the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) under the Biden-Harris administration, which provides funding for solar, wind, and other green energy initiatives.On Stocktwits, FSLR was among the top five trending tickers, with retail sentiment flipping to ‘extremely bullish’ from ‘bearish’ a day ago, while message volume surged to its highest level since the end of July.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1312/306;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/FSLR_sentiment_and_message_volume_score_Sep_11_692f38b771.png" alt="FSLR sentiment and message volume score Sep 11" width="1312" height="306"><figcaption>FSLR sentiment and message volume score Sep 11</figcaption></figure>“I am proud that as vice president over the last four years, we have invested a trillion dollars in a clean energy economy while we have also increased domestic gas production to historic levels,” Harris said during the debate.Meanwhile, Trump criticized clean energy policies, stating, “We’ll go back to windmills and we’ll go back to solar, where they need a whole desert to get some energy to come out,” though he quickly added, “By the way, I’m a big fan of solar.”The broader clean energy sector also gained. The Invesco Solar ETF (TAN) and the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) were last up over 5% and 2%, respectively, although they have significantly lost ground this year.Other clean energy stocks joined the rally:<figure class="table" style="width:90.29%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:35.31%;"><col style="width:26.3%;"><col style="width:38.39%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">Company</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">Ticker</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">Stock Gain (%)</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">Maxeon Solar Technologies Ltd</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MAXN">MAXN</a></td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">14%</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">First Solar, Inc.</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/FSLR">FSLR</a></td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">12%</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">Sunrun Inc.</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/RUN">RUN</a></td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">8%</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">NextEra Energy</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NEE">NEE</a></td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">7%</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">Sunnova Energy International Inc.</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NOVA">NOVA</a></td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">6%</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:bottom;">Solaredge Technologies Inc.</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SEDG">SEDG</a></td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">6%</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">Enphase Energy Inc.</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ENPH">ENPH</a></td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:2pt;vertical-align:top;">4%</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>&nbsp;Solar stocks have faced a tough year.

First Solar Stock Surges As Harris Outshines Trump In First Debate, Retail Investors Go All In

Uncertainty over the outcome of the upcoming presidential election has added to the market’s unease, with fears that a shift in administration could bring changes to federal incentives for clean energy.

Major US equity indices have been hitting record highs recently, led by rate cut optimism due to weak economic data. However, a churn has also been observed from the mega-cap stocks to the small-cap universe. At this crossroads, let’s take a look at some of the stocks that witnessed a significant jump in watchers over a one-week period.1. Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp: The number of watchers for the stock rose by 3,373 from last week. Shares of the firm, which is majority-owned by former President Donald Trump, have been gaining traction in recent days after a failed assassination attempt on the Republican candidate. The stock has gained nearly 25% in the last five days itself given that perceived chances of Trump’s re-election have increased significantly in the wake of the attack. Retail sentiment, however, is trending in bearish territory.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:780/216;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_07_17_at_2_11_09_PM_f470208d0c.png" alt="Retail sentiment remains bearish on Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp" width="780" height="216"><figcaption>Retail sentiment remains bearish on Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp</figcaption></figure>2. NVIDIA Corp: The chip-maker witnessed 1,860 more watchers tracking the stock since last week. Shares of the firm fell over 6% on Wednesday, in line with other chip stocks, after a report indicated that the Biden administration may be considering tougher restrictions on China’s access to chip technology. Retail sentiment remained in the neutral zone (54/100) for the stock. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s remarks on Taiwan, in which he stated the country should pay the U.S. for its defense, also did not bode well for chip stocks.3. Maxeon Solar Technologies: The stock witnessed an additional 1,514 watchers in the last seven days. Shares of the Singapore-based photovoltaic panel manufacturer were down nearly 4% on Wednesday. On a year-to-date basis, the stock has lost over 96% of its value. Recently, Mizuho reportedly cut its price target on the stock to $0.20 from $4 earlier while maintaining a ‘Neutral’ rating. According to a report, Maxeon Solar had secured new financing last month and expects a cash infusion in the second half of the year. It said this anticipated dilution led to the adjustment in the price target. Retail sentiment on the stock was trending in the bullish territory (56/100) as of midday Wednesday.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:789/217;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_07_17_at_2_12_21_PM_ce9d1d646c.png" alt="Stocktwits sentiment trends in bullish zone for Maxeon Solar Technologies" width="789" height="217"><figcaption>Stocktwits sentiment trends in bullish zone for Maxeon Solar Technologies</figcaption></figure> &nbsp;

These Three Stocks Witnessed The Greatest Change In Watchers Over The Last Week

Trump Media & Technology Group Corp, NVIDIA Corp, and Maxeon Solar Technologies were among the stocks that saw the maximum addition of new watchers over the last week.

Maxeon Solar Technologies Ltd. has been in a freefall, with its stock price down a staggering 96.87% year-to-date compared to the S&amp;P 500's 18% gain. Despite this plunge, retail investors have shown surprising optimism, reflected in a moderately bullish Stocktwits sentiment score of 55/100. Notably, the stock has seen the highest weekly change in message volume over the past two weeks.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1274/744;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/MAXN_sentiment_meter_2024_ed5a8824b1.png" alt="MAXN historic sentiment meter " width="1274" height="744"><figcaption>MAXN historic sentiment meter&nbsp;</figcaption></figure>Just over six months ago, Maxeon's market cap exceeded $1.8 billion. Now, its value has plummeted to a mere $13.23 million. The stock has consistently traded below its 50-day moving average for over a month and exhibits an average daily trading volume of 5.9 million shares.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1322/592;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/MAXN_YTD_stock_drop_2024_966ec11d0f.png" alt="MAXN stock drop with Stocktwits message volume spike" width="1322" height="592"><figcaption>MAXN stock drop with Stocktwits message volume spike</figcaption></figure>In Q1 2024, the Singapore-based company reported a significant revenue decline to $187 million from $318.3 million a year earlier, citing challenging market conditions, rising borrowing costs, and regulatory shifts impacting demand.The company's situation worsened after issuing a "going concern" warning. Its main stakeholder, TCL Zhonghuan Renewable Energy Technologies, also announced a $197.5 million investment ($100 million in stock and $97.5 million in debt). This move, however, caused significant share dilution.&nbsp;It also faces multiple shareholder lawsuits alleging an undisclosed reliance on exclusive sales to SunPower. The broader solar energy sector has also faced headwinds recently, with slowing demand due to high interest rates. Sunnova shares have plunged over 54% year-to-date, while Enphase Energy, Sunrun, and SolarEdge have declined 14%, 21%, and 70%, respectively.Maxeon faces an additional challenge with a high short interest of nearly 78% of its free float, indicating significant bearish sentiment from institutions. This high short interest could potentially lead to a short squeeze, similar to those seen with meme stocks, but the stock lacks a clear catalyst to initiate that type of move.Interestingly, Stocktwits activity suggests that many retail investors remain optimistic about Maxeon's potential, citing factors like the planned $1 billion New Mexico plant construction bolstered by the Inflation Reduction Act.One such bullish voice, user <a href="https://stocktwits.com/NachoTheBull/message/579519515">NachoTheBull</a>, expressed optimism: "Huge catalyst if they break ground on the new factory in NM. I'm also banking on a turnaround in the solar industry with upcoming interest rate cuts. Yes, it's still a gamble, but I believe the company is oversold and has significant upside potential."<figure class="image"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/NachoTheBull/message/579519515"><img style="aspect-ratio:1316/722;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/MAXN_user_comment_Jul_15_5afc2a41f1.png" alt="Stocktwits user NachoTheBull's post on MAXN symbol stream." width="1316" height="722"></a><figcaption>Stocktwits user NachoTheBull's post on MAXN symbol stream.</figcaption></figure> &nbsp;
