First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) is one of the 10 best sustainability stocks to buy now. The company specializes in cadmium telluride thin-film solar modules, which require less energy, semiconductor material, and water to produce than traditional crystalline silicon (c-Si) panels. The Series 7 product line boasts one of the industry's lowest environmental footprints, and the company operates its own end-of-life recycling facilities, recovering over 90% of materials for reuse. RBC Capital's Christopher Dendrinos raised his price target on First Solar to $200 from $188 on June 30, maintaining an Outperform rating. In his note to investors, Dendrinos pointed to policy developments under the current draft of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), which he believes could boost short- and medium-term demand for U.S.-based solar manufacturers like First Solar.

He highlighted that solar developers are likely to fast-track projects to lock in benefits before the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) phases out. They might also be trying to steer clear of possible penalties related to foreign content rules under the new excise tax proposal. Dendrinos says this could lead to a boost in short-term demand, helping strengthen First Solar's order book. He believes the policy tailwinds outlined in the bill align well with the company's U.S.-focused manufacturing base and reinforce its positioning for continued growth. First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) is a leading American solar technology company that manufactures eco-efficient solar modules.

ByteDance lays off 65 Seattle-area workers

(GeekWire File Photo / Todd Bishop) ByteDance, the Beijing-based parent company of TikTok, is laying off 65 workers based in Bellevue, Wash., according to a new filing with the Washington state Employment Security Department. ByteDance, Inc., is laying off 27 workers, while TikTok, Inc., is laying off 38 employees, according to the filing. The Chinese tech giant landed in the Seattle region in 2021 and has been growing its footprint in Amazon's backyard as it bolstered its TikTok Shop online shopping business. But TikTok has recently cut workers from its U.S. e-commerce unit across three rounds of layoffs since April, Bloomberg reported last week, noting that TikTok has replaced some staff near Seattle with managers connected to China. 'As the TikTok Shop business evolves, we regularly review our operations to ensure long-term success,' a spokesperson with TikTok said in a statement to GeekWire. 'Following careful consideration, we've made the difficult decision to adjust parts of our team to better align with strategic priorities.' TikTok Shop is TikTok's fastest-growing business, according to Bloomberg, though it has fallen short of recent internal sales targets. TikTok is planning to roll out a new version of its app for users in the U.S. ahead of a planned sale of TikTok's U.S. operations, The Information reported on Sunday. ByteDance is one of more than 100 out-of-town tech companies that have engineering centers in the Seattle region, as tracked by GeekWire.

Veterans Affairs reverses course on large-scale layoffs

The Department of Veterans Affairs said Monday that it will no longer be forced to conduct a large reduction in workforce, unlike several other federal agencies that were forced to make mass layoffs because of the Trump administration's U.S. DOGE Service. In a news release, VA said that it was on pace to reduce its total staff by nearly 30,000 employees by the end of this fiscal year, a push that the department said eliminates the need for a 'large-scale reduction-in-force.' The announcement marks a significant reversal for the Trump administration, which had planned for months to cut VA by roughly 83,000 employees, according to plans revealed in an internal memo circulated to agency staffers in March. At the time, VA Secretary Douglas A. Collins said in remarks shared to social media that the cuts were tough but necessary.
