Plug Power

Plug Power is building an end-to-end green hydrogen ecosystem-from production, storage, and delivery to energy generation. The company plans to build and operate green hydrogen highways across North America and Europe. Plug will deliver its green hydrogen solutions directly to its customers and through joint venture partners into multiple end markets, including material handling, e-mobility, power generation, and industrial applications.

PLUG POWER ORD

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) has big dreams for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hydrogen">green hydrogen-powered future</a>, but it might hit some potholes before reaching that destination. 
JPMorgan's Bill Peterson brings a cautiously balanced view, signaling that while Plug Power's ambitions shine bright, the near-term realities could dampen the sparkle for investors. As we speed toward the company's third-quarter earnings call on Nov. 12 and its annual Plug Symposium on Nov. 13, expectations are mixed, with both high hopes and real risks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Watch For Roadblocks Heading Into H2</h2>
Plug Power has set its sights high, predicting substantial growth in its hydrogen-driven Energy business and aiming to double revenue in the second half of 2024. 
However, hitting these targets will require a serious acceleration in sales—especially in the softer material handling sector and a reliable revenue boost in electrolyzer equipment. But with a sluggish U.S. hydrogen market and the 45V tax credit still a question mark, this quarter's results may land below expectations, with Plug likely to fall short of the high double-digit growth needed to meet the lower end of its guidance range, the analyst said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Symposium Spotlight: A Blueprint For Long-Term Growth</h2>
At the upcoming Plug Symposium, management is expected to emphasize its roadmap beyond quarterly earnings.
Plug Power could unveil its vision for reaching $20 billion in revenue by 2030, a bold ambition that Peterson considers likely to face practical constraints. While the Symposium may inspire with case studies in hydrogen applications and potential growth in mobility and stationary power, Plug will need to prove its green hydrogen network can yield real profits, especially as global interest in hydrogen faces increasing skepticism around commercial viability.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Short-Term Jitters With A Dash Of Optimism</h2>
Plug Power's short-term outlook carries a dose of volatility, partly fueled by ongoing political uncertainty. The company may reiterate its guidance, but Peterson remains unconvinced it's achievable, seeing risks in the 2024 market landscape.
Although PLUG stock's 28% short interest reflects broad market wariness, a clear policy signal or an unexpected DOE loan closure could still spark some interest. For now, though, Plug is under pressure to execute margin improvements and make tangible progress on cash flow management before it can comfortably court long-term investors.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Staying Neutral, But Watching The Horizon</h2>
JPMorgan's Peterson is staying neutral on PLUG, balancing near-term headwinds with the potential long-term upside if hydrogen gains a foothold. 
While Plug Power's green hydrogen goals are audacious, the company faces cash flow and demand challenges that can't be overlooked. 
For investors, the message is clear: stay buckled up for a bumpy ride, and don't lose sight of the possible rewards if Plug Power can overcome its hurdles and secure a sustainable path forward in the green hydrogen revolution.

Plug Power's $20 Billion Revenue Ambition Faces Obstacles, Analyst Says

As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-presidential-election">Election Week 2024</a> is upon us, Wall Street is geared up for sector-specific shakeups, with JPMorgan's Bill Peterson spotlighting a decisive split in potential stock moves.
With a Democratic win likely to power up the clean energy sector and a Donald Trump victory poised to boost steel, the stakes are high for investors in metals, mining and clean tech.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Harris Win: Green Light For Clean Tech Rally?</h1>
Should Vice-President Kamala Harris take the White House, expect a boost across clean tech stocks, especially those linked to electric vehicles (EV) and hydrogen.
Peterson points to EVgo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVGO#NASDAQ">EVGO</a>), ChargePoint Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHPT#NASDAQ">CHPT</a>) and lithium players like Lithium Americas Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAC#NYSE">LAC</a>) and Piedmont Lithium Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLL#NASDAQ">PLL</a>) as likely to benefit from sustained clean energy initiatives.
Stocks like Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) could also rally, riding on investor confidence that government spending won't dry up for sectors heavily backed by the Inflation Reduction Act and the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Win: Steel's Comeback With A Dose Of Protectionism</h1>
A Trump victory could be a bullish setup for the steel sector, especially for domestic players like Nucor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>), and Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>), which would benefit from protectionist policies supporting U.S. steel pricing.
Peterson highlights that Trump's stance against the proposed acquisition of U.S. Steel by Nippon Steel Corp (OTCPK: NISTF) could keep the spotlight on domestic operators, while Trade Expansion Act Section 232 tariffs could make U.S. steel prices attractive.
Kaiser Aluminum Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KALU#NASDAQ">KALU</a>) stands to gain over Constellium SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSTM#NYSE">CSTM</a>) if more tariffs come into play, thanks to Kaiser&#8217;s U.S. footprint.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Rare Earths &amp; Base Metals: Supply Security Takes The Stage</h1>
Regardless of the outcome, Western supply chain security remains a hot-button issue, favorably positioning rare earth and graphite players like MP Materials Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>) and GrafTech International Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAF#NYSE">EAF</a>).
For base metals, names like Alcoa Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>) and Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) may see an impact from intensified China tariffs, with pricing ripple effects dependent on global stimulus responses.
With the election outcome set to shape market dynamics, these sectors have distinct paths forward. For now, it's a wait-and-see game for investors in metals, mining, and clean tech.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Nvidia, Tesla, MicroStrategy, Plug Power — And Crypto Traders Anticipate Dogecoin Topping 50 Cents

As the election season heats up, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/clean-energy">clean tech stocks</a> are becoming a focal point for investors looking to position their portfolios. The upcoming 45V Treasury guidance and broader policy changes could bring volatility or opportunity, depending on the stock.
JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson has weighed in with his top picks, dividing his recommendations into two camps: election-exposed plays like Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) and EVgo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVGO#NASDAQ">EVGO</a>) and a safer hedge in Enovix Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENVX#NASDAQ">ENVX</a>) for those seeking to sidestep election-related risks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Election Exposure: Plug Power, EVgo</h2>
Plug Power, a leading name in hydrogen fuel cell technology, is on investors&#8217; radar for its sensitivity to the outcome of the 45V Treasury guidance, which would offer tax incentives to projects that generate clean hydrogen with minimal lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions. While Peterson expects the guidance timing to be around November/December, he doesn't see election results having a major impact on its terms.
EVgo, on the other hand, presents a more compelling case. 
Peterson views the company&#8217;s path to profitability as accelerated by its access to low-cost capital from the Department of Energy (DOE), and if it can secure this capital, EVgo could see significant gains in the months following the election.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hedging Uncertainty: Enovix</h2>
For those seeking to avoid the political risks tied to the U.S. election, Peterson favors Enovix. 
With its focus on consumer electronics rather than EVs, and a manufacturing base in Malaysia, ENVX is largely insulated from election-driven policy changes. This diversification makes it an attractive option for investors wanting stability amidst the political noise.
As the election approaches, investors face two paths: capitalize on election-driven opportunities with Plug Power and EVgo, or hedge against volatility with Enovix.

Plug Power, EVgo, Enovix: Analyst Clean Tech Picks For Navigating Election Exposure, Hedging Uncertainty

Plug Power, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) shares are trading lower on Monday. The company inked a binding framework agreement with Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) to supply 3 gigawatts (GW) of electrolyzer capacity for AGA&#8217;s green <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/g41207472/plug-and-allied-green-execute-binding-framework-agreement-for-3-gw-electrolyzer-capacity" rel="noreferrer noopener">hydrogen-to-ammonia plant in Australia</a>.
Following the MOU and engineering design package, Plug and AGA are finalizing a sales agreement. This partnership advances plans for one of the world&#8217;s largest green ammonia plants, with Plug&#8217;s electrolyzer system set for delivery by late 2026 or early 2027.
AGA is developing a major green ammonia facility at Gove Peninsula, Northern Territory, Australia, set to produce 2,700 metric tons per day using renewable energy.
This collaboration with Plug Power will decarbonize ammonia production by replacing traditional Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) with green hydrogen from Plug&#8217;s electrolyzers.
By combining Plug&#8217;s technology with AGA&#8217;s industry expertise, the facility aims to produce green ammonia competitively compared to conventional, carbon-intensive methods.
Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power. &#8220;Our extensive experience in constructing and operating large-scale hydrogen facilities, combined with our cutting-edge PEM electrolyzer technology, positions us as the ideal partner for this transformative 3 GW project.&#8221;
Alfred Benedict, Chairman &amp; Managing Director of Allied Green said, &#8220;Our collaboration with Plug Power builds on our team&#8217;s substantial work over many years that will enable us to efficiently harness the power of electrolysis-based hydrogen and, drastically reduce carbon emissions in the ammonia production process.&#8221;

Jefferies Maintains Hold on Plug Power, Lowers Price Target to $2

Shares of hydrogen fuel-cell energy company Plug Power, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) slipped <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket">in premarket trading</a> on Thursday, with a negative analyst action potentially the downside trigger.
Jefferies analyst Dushyant Ailani reduced the price target for Plug Power shares from $2.20 to $2, while maintaining a Hold rating, <a href="https://www.streetinsider.com/Analyst+Comments/Plug+Power+%28PLUG%29+PT+Lowered+to+%242+at+Jefferies/23796847.html">according </a>to StreetInsider. The stock is down 52% for the year-to-date period as fundamentals falter. In early August, the company<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41134015/jd-vance-tim-walz-debate-sets-a-different-tone-candidates-discuss-israel-iran-escalation-immigration"> reported a decline in its second-quarter revenue</a> and a wider loss, although the net loss per share narrowed due to an increase in outstanding shares. 
After raising a &#8220;going concern&#8221; warning in late 2023, the company came back a quarter later to reassure investors that it has sufficient cash to finance ongoing operations for the foreseeable future.
Ahead of the release of the second quarter results, the company raised $200 million in gross proceeds through a common stock offering. In early September, the company announced it had received a $10 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to demonstrate next-generation hydrogen refueling infrastructure for medium and heavy-duty vehicles at scale.
In premarket trading, the stock slipped 1.39% to $2.13, according to<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174"> Benzinga Pro data.</a> Jefferies new price target suggests an incremental downside risk of around 7.41%.

Why Plug Power Stock Is Sliding In Thursday's Premarket

Sentiment continues to be cautious as traders play the &#8220;wait-and-watch&#8221; game until they see off <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41148891/jobs-report-in-focus-will-slower-growth-push-the-fed-toward-november-interest-rate-">Friday&#8217;s non-farm payroll data.</a> The index futures traded moderately lower early Thursday. The weekly jobless claims data along with the ongoing tensions in the Middle East and the status of the dockworkers strike are among the key focal items for traders. The S&amp;P 500 has gained in all but one month so far this year and the momentum is supporting the market even as it navigates through another air pocket centered this time mainly around geopolitics.
Oil&#8217;s extended run could keep energy stocks buoyant and artificial intelligence stalwart Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) traded higher in premarket, while electric-vehicle stocks have decelerated.

After recouping early losses, the averages moved in a narrow range around the unchanged line before ending slightly higher.

Shares of companies in the broader industrial space are trading higher following the Fed's announcement to cut rates by 50 basis points yesterday, which could support investment and economic growth.

Plug Power Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) shares are trading higher today. The hydrogen solutions&nbsp;provider launched <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/g40935208/plug-power-launches-an-equipment-lease-financing-platform-plug-is-targeting-150-million-from-a-com" rel="noreferrer noopener">an equipment lease financing platform</a>.
The company aims to raise over $150 million in the near to mid-term through a combination of debt leverage and customer financing solutions.
The platform is designed to unlock capital from Plug&#8217;s equipment assets and offer financing options to drive sales growth.
In its initial step, Plug finalized three sale and leaseback deals totaling around $44 million with GTL Leasing, a portfolio company of Antin Infrastructure Partners.
&#8220;It provides for immediate capital with a path to additional capital over the near term, supports our growth in the green hydrogen sector, and aligns with Plug&#8217;s financial and operational objectives,&#8221; stated Plug CFO, Paul Middleton.
These agreements cover hydrogen transport and storage equipment, including trailers and cryogenic storage tanks. The transactions allow Plug to retain access to essential hydrogen equipment while enhancing its financial flexibility.
The capital raised will be reinvested into core operations, supporting the company&#8217;s long-term growth and expansion plans.
The platform is designed to improve Plug&#8217;s operational efficiency and resource management while providing partners like GTL with an attractive investment opportunity to grow their leased asset portfolios.
For GTL and other participants, this partnership offers long-term revenue potential, portfolio diversification, and deeper involvement in the green hydrogen economy, positioning them for sustained growth and expansion.
Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet and Stephan Feilhauer, Senior Partner and Partner respectively at Antin Infrastructure Partners stated, &#8220;These transactions not only provide GTL with a robust portfolio of storage tanks and trailers—both cryogenic and gaseous—but also support some of the largest distribution centers in the U.S.&#8221;
On Wednesday, Plug Power secured a 25-megawatt (MW) order for its proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer systems from a major oil company <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40934580/why-is-plug-power-stock-surging-premarket-on-thursday" rel="noreferrer noopener">joint&nbsp;venture, Castellón Green Hydrogen S.L</a>.

Plug Power Reveals Establishment Of An Equipment Leasing Platform And Is Targeting Over $150M In The Near To Mid-term

Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) shares are trading higher premarket Thursday. The company secured a 25-megawatt (MW) order for its proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer systems from oil companies BP p.l.c. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) and Iberdrola S.A.&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBDSF#OTC">IBDSF</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ir.plugpower.com/press-releases/news-details/2024/Plug-Contracts-with-bp-and-Iberdrola-Joint-Venture-to-Supply-25-MW-of-PEM-Electrolyzers-for-bps-Castelln-Refinery-Project-in-Valencia-Spain/default.aspx" rel="noreferrer noopener">joint </a>venture, Castellón Green Hydrogen S.L.
The project will use five 5 MW containerized PEM electrolyzers to decarbonize BP&#8217;s Castellón refinery in Valencia, Spain and is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 23,000 tons annually.
Plug&#8217;s electrolyzers will be deployed in a project led by BP and Iberdrola to produce green hydrogen, replacing a portion of the refinery&#8217;s current gray hydrogen, which is generated from natural gas.
This partnership with BP marks the start of a long-term collaboration to decarbonize operations, with potential expansion up to 2 gigawatts of electrolysis capacity.
Plug CEO Andy Marsh said, &#8220;The selection of Plug&#8217;s technology for this project serves as a clear example of our established industry expertise and proven technology.&#8221;
&#8220;Industry experts have highlighted the immense market potential for green hydrogen in Europe as being a key factor for reaching European Union decarbonization targets. This presents a significant opportunity for Plug, and we have the market knowledge and technology readily available to make a substantial impact.&#8221;
This month, Plug Power won a contract to support 25 MW of PEM electrolyzers for H2DRIVEN&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40834851/plug-power-secures-contract-with-h2driven-for-25-mw-electrolyzers-enhancing-green-methanol-proje" rel="noreferrer noopener">green methanol project in Portugal</a>.
The contract will provide Technical Evaluation Phase support for 25 megawatts of Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolyzers during the Front End Engineering Design process for a green methanol project in Portugal.
Apart from this, the company received a $10 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to scale its HYPER-Fuel project, which focuses on advanced hydrogen refueling infrastructure&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40735452/whats-going-on-with-plug-power-stock-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">for medium and heavy-duty vehicles</a>.
This funding is part of the DOE&#8217;s $62 million investment in 20 projects across 15 states to advance next-generation clean hydrogen technologies.
