As 2023 draws to a close, investors are shifting their focus to the upcoming fiscal year.
In today's analysis, we'll explore three stocks that have captured the market's attention and are poised for substantial growth of over 32% in the next fiscal year.

First Solar has become a prominent player in its sector and has attracted the attention of Wall Street for its strategic positioning and financial performance.
In addition to the promising earnings forecasts for 2024, the stock has several favorable factors in its corner.
These include a robust order backlog extending until 2026, a solid balance sheet, and an anticipated growth in gross margins from 18% in 2023 to 25% in 2025.

In addition, its focus on utilities rather than residential solar sets it apart from its competitors, insulating it from industry challenges such as weak residential demand and interest rate volatility.
The utility-scale solar demand is ever-increasing increasing in the U.S. market as the shift to carbon-neutral energy sources takes hold.
The company's stock is up +10.60% for the year. The conservative side of the market sees a 12-month potential of +36% at $229.63. In contrast, the more aggressive side believes the potential is +50-55%.

The company's margin expansion opportunity is a positive. The spread between lagging operating margins and margins on volume growth is high, a fact that should position the company for a fairly strong expansion.
