Shares of semiconductor companies are trading higher amid overall market strength due to March's strong durable goods orders economic data, and President Trump's announcement that he met with China earlier today.

Famed GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) short seller, Andrew Left from Citron Research, revealed that he was long China as he discussed his three long positions on Tuesday.
What Happened: Left disclosed that he was long First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and he was also exposed to the Chinese economy and market via his investment in the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>), according to a report <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/video/6371800731112">by</a> Fox Business.
He discussed how these stocks interested him:
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">First Solar</h4>
The U.S. recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44925565/first-solar-stock-jumps-as-u-s-finalizes-tariffs-on-southeast-asian-solar-panels">unveiled tariffs on solar imports</a> on Monday. This comes after a petitioner group, the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee, accused Southeast Asian companies of shipping panels priced below their cost of production.
&#8220;I thought of the position when the tariff news came, I thought they are going to be the direct beneficiary of it. It&#8217;s weird that there was a kind of delayed reaction that Wall Street had today. First Solar makes their solar products in the U.S., and services the U.S.,&#8221; said Left
&#8220;They have been in constant price wars with Asian manufacturers who are dropping prices. Now, it&#8217;s true that they have sold out the capacity right now, but this will get them better pricing power in the future. This was the industry that was needed, especially for data centers,&#8221; added Left.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon</h4>
Highlighting his rationale for being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/wiim/25/04/44930397/amazon-com-shares-are-trading-higher-goldman-sachs-maintained-a-buy-rating-on-the-stock">long Amazon</a>, Left said, &#8220;It&#8217;s funny when Amazon was $235-$240, just five months ago. I kept saying &#8216;Oh my god, I can&#8217;t believe that I don&#8217;t own Amazon, I wish it goes lower.&#8217; Then it goes lower, and you start questioning, Should I buy it?&#8221;
&#8220;It is Amazon! If the consumer gets stretched, they will still go to Amazon for cheaper prices. If you want to look at dynamic prices, they will be able to navigate their way through tariffs the best, unlike the other competitors,&#8221; he said.
Left explained that &#8220;When you have market turbulence, and I go to sleep at night knowing that I own Amazon at $172, at one of the lowest PEs, I like the stock right here.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">iShares China Large-Cap ETF</h3>
When asked about being long China amid the ongoing tariff battle, he said that the Chinese markets have &#8220;held in&#8221; despite the turbulence.
&#8220;It&#8217;s been oversold for a while, China. There&#8217;s a lot of catch-up in that market, and the government has finally made a commitment in China to support their own market. They never made that kind of commitment three or four years ago,&#8221; he explained.
&#8220;Multiples in China are very low, it is a large economy. And hopefully, think of the catalyst of the potential trade deal with the U.S. Think of the impact on this market that hasn&#8217;t had repressed pricing for so long,&#8221; Left said.

Why It Matters: Left is long Amazon despite a negative year-to-date performance of 21.36% and lower by 3.54% over a year.
Meanwhile, First Solar was down 27.41% YTD and 24.85% over one year. On the other hand, iShares China Large-Cap ETF was higher by 11.94% YTD and 34.92% over a year.

GameStop Short Seller Andrew Left Goes Long On China And These 2 US Stocks Amid Market Correction

After Monday&#8217;s broad-based sell-off — triggered by renewed pressure from President Donald Trump on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, raising concerns over the integrity of central bank independence — Wall Street bounced back with strength on Tuesday, buoyed by upbeat signals from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">the corporate earnings season.</a>
By midday in New York, major indices were up by nearly 3%, with all 11 sectors of the S&amp;P 500 trading in positive territory. Consumer discretionary stocks led the rally.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged over 1,000 points, breaking above the 39,200 mark, as bullish momentum swept across Wall Street. Only a few S&amp;P 500 stocks remained in negative territory.
At a JPMorgan-hosted event in Washington, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent hinted at a potential de-escalation in tensions with China, further supporting risk sentiment.
Shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) surged nearly 5% as investors looked ahead to the company's first-quarter earnings report, due after the closing bell.
In the bond market, after two sessions of rising Treasury yields, a modest pullback suggested some investors saw an opportunity to buy as long-dated yields neared the 5% threshold.
On the commodities front, gold briefly touched $3,500 per ounce overnight before retreating to $3,420 amid an improvement in equity market sentiment. Oil jumped 2.3%, with WTI crude reaching $64 per barrel, while copper gained 2.8%.
The cryptocurrency market also reflected a broader risk-on mood. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rallied 4% to $91,000, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) advanced more than 7% to $1,700.

3 Green Energy Stocks Trending On Earth Day 2025

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) shares are trading higher Tuesday after the US finalized plans to impose tariffs on most solar cells imported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44916963/first-solar-stock-surges-over-7-in-pre-market-as-us-sets-up-to-3500-tariffs-on-chinese-owned-southeast-asian-solar-cells">from Southeast Asia.</a>
What To Know: Last year, First Solar, Korea&#8217;s Hanwha Qcells and other members of the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee accused major Chinese solar panel makers in Southeast Asia of selling below cost and gaining unfair advantages that hurt U.S. competitors.
These solar panel makers operate in countries such as Malaysia, Cambodia and Thailand.
The Commerce Department finalized the tariff rates on Monday, with amounts varying by company and country. Products from Cambodia are set to face duties of more than 3,500% due to a lack of cooperation with the U.S. investigation.
Jinko Solar (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JKS#NYSE">JKS</a>)'s panels from Malaysia received some of the lowest combined anti-dumping and countervailing duties at 41.56%, while rival Trina Solar's products from Thailand were hit with a much higher rate of 375.19%.
The International Trade Commission is expected to vote in June on whether the solar panel industry was significantly harmed. If approved, the tariffs will go into effect.
First Solar shares may be trading higher as new tariffs on Southeast Asian solar imports position the U.S.-based manufacturer to gain a stronger foothold in the domestic market.

Market-Moving News for April 22th

First Solar shares are trading higher after the US finalized plans to impose tariffs on most solar cells imported from Southeast Asia.

The shares of First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) jumped 7.18% to $122.45 during the pre-market session on Tuesday after the U.S. finalized plans to impose steep tariffs on most solar cells imported from Southeast Asia on Monday.
What Happened: Firms within the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee have accused major Chinese solar panel manufacturers with factories in Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam of selling panels below production cost and benefiting from unfair subsidies, making American products uncompetitive, Reuters reported on Monday.
The case was initiated last year by Korea&#8217;s&nbsp;Hanwha Qcells, Arizona-based First Solar Inc., and several smaller producers.
The tariffs finalized on Monday vary significantly based on the company and country, with products from Cambodia facing duties exceeding 3,500% as a result of non-cooperation with the U.S. investigation. 
Jinko Solar&#8216;s Malaysian products were subject to some of the lowest combined anti-dumping and countervailing duties at 41.56%, while competing Trina Solar's Thai products were hit with steep tariffs of 375.19%.
To finalize the tariffs, the International Trade Commission must vote in June to determine if the industry was significantly harmed by the unfairly priced and subsidized imports.

Why It Matters: China, which dominates 90% of the solar supply chain, has established factories across Southeast Asia to bypass U.S. tariffs. The new duties mark another blow as the U.S. ramps up its crackdown on Chinese imports.
In November, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced tariffs between 21% and 271% for Chinese solar panels sold through subsidiaries in Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia. During the 2024 election, President Donald Trump pledged to impose tariffs on specific Chinese imports, including solar panels. 
Against this backdrop, Piper Sandler analyst Kashy Harrison stated in January that First Solar could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42779225/this-domestic-solar-stock-fslr-could-shine-in-your-portfolio-if-president-elect-donald-trump-imposes-tariffs-on-chinese-solar-panels">gain significantly</a> from this development.
However, critics, including the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), argue that the proposed tariffs could hurt U.S. solar manufacturers by increasing the cost of imported cells used in panel assembly at American factories which have been expanding since the clean energy manufacturing subsidy was introduced in 2022.
First Solar holds a Growth rating of 96.08% and a quality rating of 89.80%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FSLR" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.
