Shares of defense, intelligence, and IT solutions provider CACI International (NYSE:CACI)
fell 3% in the afternoon session after an analyst at Raymond James downgraded the stock to "Market Perform" from "Outperform." The downgrade from a prominent Wall Street firm suggests a more neutral outlook on the government IT contractor's future performance. According to the analyst, CACI's strong focus on national security, which accounts for about 94% of its sales, coupled with solid execution, has driven the stock's price up to the firm's previous target. The downgrade reflects the view that after a significant run-up in share price, the stock is "due for a pause." Since Raymond James' last upgrade in January, CACI shares have surged approximately 25%, substantially outpacing the S&P 500's 6% gain over the same period. This change in rating indicates that while the company's fundamentals remain strong, its valuation may now fully reflect its near-term prospects.

Shares of solar panel manufacturer First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR)
fell 5.5% in the afternoon session after continued weakness in the clean energy sector driven by concerns over new tariffs and changes to government subsidies. The slide in clean energy stocks, including First Solar, comes as investors weigh the impact of President Trump's announcement of new tariffs of 25%–40% on 14 countries. Although the start date was moved to August 1, the policy creates uncertainty for solar panel importers. Adding to investor concerns, a new domestic policy bill is expected to end key subsidies for the clean energy sector. This combination of potentially higher costs from tariffs and the removal of government financial support is pressuring the outlook for solar companies.
