JPM says the updated House bill is a bigger negative than expected for clean energy. Ending transferability means companies like $FSLR may need to use “direct pay” to claim 45X credits, which delays monetization. While 45X stays intact, weaker demand could trim its full potential. Still, FSLR looks best positioned, with ~60% of its earnings over the next two years tied to 45X.

Immediate repeal of credit transferability is a big deal for solar industry. JPM notes about half of the ~$40B U.S. tax equity market relies on transfer/hybrid structures. This move could severely disrupt project financing pipelines and delay new deployments, at least in the near term.
Because of the compressed deadlines (60-day safe harbor and YE’28 PIS requirement), JPM expects a short-term spike in orders as developers scramble to qualify projects. This could temporarily benefit manufacturers and EPCs, though it may front-load demand at the cost of medium-term visibility.
