Array Technologies (ARRY, Financial) and other solar energy stocks saw a decline after conservative lawmakers secured an agreement to terminate significant clean-energy tax incentives sooner than expected. This move is part of a broader negotiation supporting President Donald Trump's tax and spending initiatives. South Carolina Representative Ralph Norman highlighted that House leaders committed to ending these tax credits earlier than Republicans had initially proposed, although no specific timeline was provided. Norman emphasized the focus on advancing the America First agenda, citing necessary reforms to improve the country's fiscal situation, as evidenced by a recent downgrade in the U.S. credit rating. This development impacts companies like Array Technologies, influencing market expectations and investor sentiment in the renewable energy sector.
