What Happened?
A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the US president announced a framework for a future deal with Greenland.
Wall Street saw a broad-based rally, with the S&P 500 gaining 1.2% as investor concerns over global trade tensions eased. The positive sentiment followed an announcement that reversed course on plans to impose tariffs linked to Greenland, which had caused steep market losses earlier in the week. This recovery reflected renewed optimism in the market, as the threat of a widening trade conflict appeared to subside, encouraging investors to move back into equities.

Zooming In On Shoals (SHLS)
Shoals’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 61 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was about 1 month ago when the stock gained 6% on the news that increased activity in the options market signaled growing investor interest, coupled with positive news from the broader solar sector.
The positive sentiment was also fueled by broader industry developments, such as a major supply agreement where U.S. solar manufacturer T1 Energy committed to providing a minimum of 900 MW of modules over three years. Such large-scale deals suggested healthy demand within the U.S. solar market, which benefited component suppliers like Shoals.
Shoals is up 5% since the beginning of the year, but at $9.55 per share, it is still trading 12% below its 52-week high of $10.85 from October 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Shoals’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $308.13.
