In a client note Monday, analyst Vishal Shah raised his price target to $335 from $280, implying an expected return of 25 percent over Friday's close of $268.22.

Shah said greater output from Malaysia could add roughly $30 million to the company's second-quarter revenue. The company should benefit from a more favorable exchange rate and a resolution of solar incentives in Spain.

He also predicted a possible announcement of a U.S. contract ahead of the company's "strong" second-quarter results, scheduled for release in July.

A company representative could not immediately be reached for comment.

Shares of the Tempe, Ariz., company rose $6.74, or 2.5 percent, to $274.96 in premarket trading Monday.
