UniFirst Gears Up For Q1 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some easing in the fear level, while the index remained in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Thursday.
U.S. stocks settled mixed on Thursday, with the Dow Jones index closing slightly higher during the session. The market was shut on Wednesday for Christmas Day.
Month to date, the S&amp;P 500 gained 0.1%, while the Nasdaq has surged 4.2%, driven by significant gains in Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>). The blue-chip Dow, however, fell around 3.5% during the month.
On the economic data front, U.S. initial jobless claims fell by 1,000 from the previous week to a reading of 219,000 during the second week of December, compared to market estimates of 224,000.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with healthcare, financial, and real estate stocks recording the biggest gains on Thursday. However, consumer discretionary and communication services stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 29 points to 43,325.80 on Thursday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.04% to 6,037.59, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.05% at 20,020.36 during Thursday's session.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 35.1, the index remained in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Thursday, versus a prior reading of 34.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Dow Edges Higher In Thin Holiday Trading As Tesla, Apple Surge: Investor Sentiment Improves, But Greed Index Remains In 'Fear' Zone

Recent concerns have emerged regarding a potential slowdown in artificial intelligence (AI) investments by major U.S. tech giants, which could significantly impact the semiconductor industry.
What Happened: Doug Lefever, CEO of&nbsp;Advantest, a leading supplier of chip testing machines for&nbsp;Nvidia Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), has voiced apprehensions about a possible decline in AI spending by prominent U.S. technology firms. Such a downturn could lead to major disruptions in the semiconductor supply chain, Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/54c3d188-9c5d-4664-94c4-366207ef9aad">reported</a> on Friday.&nbsp;
Lefever pointed out that companies like&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>),&nbsp;Google&nbsp;by Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), and&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) have made substantial investments in data centers. A reduction in their spending could cause significant ripple effects due to the current market concentration. Lefever described the potential downturn as possibly &#8220;vicious&#8221; due to cyclical market dynamics.
Conversely, Lefever noted that demand for AI-enabled smartphones is currently sluggish but could surge if a breakthrough application arises. Such a development could lead to a rapid increase in smartphone replacements, significantly impacting the market.

Despite these challenges, Advantest remains a dominant player in the semiconductor testing market, with a substantial share and increasing demand for its high-end testing machines. The company has seen its share price soar, driven by the rising complexity and cost of semiconductor chips.
Why It Matters: The potential slowdown in AI investment is a critical concern for the semiconductor industry, which heavily relies on the continuous growth of AI technologies. Logan Weaver, CEO of Surmount AI, highlighted at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/24/12/42268558/the-future-of-investing-with-ai-its-never-been-easier-to-manage-your-portfolio-says-expert">Benzinga&#8217;s Fintech Deal Day</a> how AI is transforming investment management, and empowering consumers with simplified portfolio management tools. This underscores the growing importance of AI in various sectors.
Meanwhile, Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co., emphasized that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42378125/jamie-dimon-internet-bubble-was-hype-artificial-intelligence-is-real"> AI is not just hype </a>but a real phenomenon with the potential to benefit numerous aspects of life.

Key Nvidia Supplier Warns AI Spending Slowdown May Trigger 'Vicious' Downturn For Chipmakers

Zeta Global Holdings Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZETA#NYSE">ZETA</a>), a marketing technology company specializing in AI-powered marketing solutions has outperformed the NYSE Composite index in 2024, while its peers have underperformed the market. Based on its fundamental and technical analysis, should you buy, sell, or hold the stock? Here&#8217;s what analysts are saying. 
Shares of Zeta were up 1.23% at $18.97 per share as of Thursday&#8217;s close. The stock was up 125.83% this year outperforming NYSE Composite, which rose by 14.98%.

The technical analysis of daily moving averages indicates a short-term bearish trend.
The stock ended at $18.97 apiece on Thursday. This was below its eight and 50-day simple moving average of $19.52 and $21.69, respectively. However, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data, its current stock price was also lower than the 50-day moving average of $24.42, and its 200-day moving average of $24.42.
This implies that the stock is in a downtrend. On the other hand, the relative strength index of 38.38 suggests the stock&#8217;s movement is moderately oversold but still in the neutral zone.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Two Of Zeta&#8217;s Clients Merge</h3>
Zeta Global stands to benefit from Omnicom&#8217;s acquisition of Interpublic. David A.

What Are Analysts Saying: According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a>, Zeta has a consensus &#8216;hold&#8217; with a price target of $32.59 based on the ratings of 17 analysts.
The highest price target out of all the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ZETA/analyst-ratings">analysts</a> tracked by Benzinga is $45 issued by Craig-Hallum with a &#8216;buy&#8217; rating on Nov. 12, 2024. Analyst Jason Kreyer highlights Zeta Global&#8217;s strong performance, driven by the successful LiveIntent acquisition and cross-selling opportunities. Analyst is positive on the deepening penetration within the existing $100 billion plus customer base by replicating successful high-spend customer relationships.
Goldman Sachs analyst Gabriela Borges initiated coverage on Zeta with a &#8216;neutral&#8217; rating and announced a price target of $30 apiece. The note highlighted key medium-term risks. Including a possibility of its proprietary data&#8217;s value erosion as data accessibility and evolving consumer preferences may diminish, requiring continuous innovation. Strong 2024 performance, partly driven by one-time events, may make year-over-year comparisons challenging in 2025. Also, according to the analyst stricter privacy laws pose a long-term risk to Zeta&#8217;s data-driven business model, as evidenced by recent underperformance amid industry scrutiny.
The lowest target price was maintaining a &#8216;neutral&#8217; from Credit Suisse was adjusted to $9.5 from $12 per share on Aug. 4, 2022. The average price target of $38.67 between Goldman Sachs, RBC Capital, and Needham implies a 105.13% upside for Zeta.

Zeta Global Shares Beat Peers To Rise 125% In 2024: Breaking Down The Numbers

Chinese EV giant BYD Co Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) is reportedly offering discounts of up to 11.5% on its Song Pro DM-i and Qin Plus EV vehicle models.
What Happened: The Song Pro DM-i and the Qin Plus EV now have a starting price of 99,800 yuan, marking a discount of 11.5% and 9.1% from their price before the discount, Reuters reported. The discount is valid until Jan. 26.
BYD is China&#8217;s biggest EV seller and a major rival to American EV giant Tesla Inc. However, unlike Tesla, BYD makes both plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles, together referred to as new energy vehicles. 
Why It Matters: In the last quarter of 2023, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42680542/tesla-or-byd-which-ev-giant-will-sell-more-battery-electric-vehicles-in-q4">BYD sold 526,409 battery electric vehicles</a>, effectively replacing Tesla as the world's biggest seller of BEVs. Tesla in that quarter delivered just 484,507 units.
Tesla regained its position as the world's top seller of BEVs in the first quarter after selling 386,810 BEVs, 86,696 units more than BYD. Tesla kept up its lead in both Q2 and Q3. 
While it is unclear who will take the lead in the fourth quarter, both are trying to entice buyers with offers. Tesla is currently offering a discount of 10,000 yuan on the purchase of inventory <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42681583/chinas-ev-industry-likely-to-outpace-us-and-allies-but-elon-musks-tesla-could-still-make-gains">Model Y vehicles in China</a>, its second-biggest market outside the U.S.

Nio Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) brand Onvo said on Friday that it has delivered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42681165/nios-onvo-brand-helps-spur-delivery-growth-with-cheaper-offering">20,000 units of its L60 SUV</a> within 100 days of commencing deliveries. 
What Happened: Onvo made the announcement via a post on the social media platform Weibo. 
Nio launched its family-oriented lower-priced EV brand Onvo in May this year. The company launched the L60 SUV on Sept. 19 and started deliveries on Sept. 28.
Now, merely a hundred days after launch, the company delivered 20,000 units.
The Onvo L60 is a mid-size electric SUV that starts at 206,900 yuan ($28,347) with the battery pack included, much lower than Tesla's affordable models Model 3 or Model Y in China.
Why It Matters: In September, Nio delivered 832 Onvo L60s despite having only a few selling days. In October, the first full month of sales, Onvo deliveries rose to 4,319. In November, L60 deliveries rose to 5,082. 
This implies that Onvo has sold 9,767 units of the L60 thus far in December, marking its highest monthly delivery total to date.
Nio, the company&#8217;s premium EV brand, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42260165/li-auto-xpeng-nio-heres-how-november-deliveries-of-chinese-ev-startups-stack-up">delivered just 15,493 vehicles in November</a> despite its longer lineup. Onvo, meanwhile, is closing in 10,000 deliveries in a month with just one vehicle model. At the current pace, Onvo is likely to take over Nio as the parent company&#8217;s best-selling brand.

Strive Asset Management, a company co-founded by Vivek Ramaswamy, announced plans for an exchange-traded fund on Thursday that would seek exposure to convertible securities issued by companies investing in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: The proposed ETF, named the Strive Bitcoin Bond ETF, aims to expose investors to the growing &#8220;Bitcoin bond&#8221; market, leveraged by companies like MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) to fund Bitcoin acquisitions, an SEC <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1592900/000159290024002726/strivebitcoinbondetf485a.htm">filing </a>showed.
&#8220;Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the notional exposure of the Fund (through securities and financial instruments) will be to Bitcoin Bonds,&#8221; the filing read.
Strive said that the fund will treat convertible debt as equity securities, despite the instruments having some attributes of debt securities.

Why It Matters: The filing comes amid a growing trend of companies issuing convertible bonds to support their Bitcoin purchase strategy. Michael Saylor-led MicroStrategy has been the market leader, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42186167/michael-saylors-microstrategy-convertible-notes-to-buy-bitcoin-offer-no-interest-so-why-are-investors-rushing-to-buy-them">issuing these bonds at 0% interest</a>.
A convertible note is a hybrid instrument that can be exchanged for equity in the company at a later date. The conversion feature of these notes eventually helps the debt holders to benefit from the equity upside on conversion. 
The strategy has drawn a fair share of criticism, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42228264/crypto-analyst-flags-convertible-debt-induced-liquidation-risk-to-michael-saylors-microstrategy">analysts pointing out the risks</a> of debt buyers not converting to shares before maturity.
Meanwhile, popular cryptocurrency analyst James Van Straten noted that Strive&#8217;s filing meant &#8220;more vested interest&#8221; for Bitcoin to do well under the Trump administration.

Vivek Ramaswamy's Strive Applies For 'Bitcoin Bond' ETF That Tracks MicroStrategy's Convertible Securities Market

Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) creator Vitalik Buterin said Thursday that he has adopted baby hippo &#8220;Moo Deng,&#8221; donating a significant amount for the adorable creature and her family.
What happened: In an X post, Buterin called himself the "adoptive father" of Moo Deng and vowed to provide financial assistance for the pygmy whose cute antics have broken the internet.
Buterin set aside 88 Ether, worth $296,785, for Moo Deng and assured that he would donate more in the future.
"May they live long and prosper," the cryptocurrency entrepreneur said.

Buterin&#8217;s generous gesture was a token of gratitude to Thailand and its people for their hospitality, according to a letter released by Thailand&#8217;s Khao Kheow Open Zoo, where Moo Deng is housed.
Buterin stated in his letter that he received great hospitality in the country, particularly recognizing the support for Ethereum events.&nbsp;
"What better way to do than through a Christmas present to someone who is dear to all Thai people, Moo Deng, and who has become one of the most unexpected and important Thai celebrities on the world stage," Buterin said, offering gratitude.

Why It Matters: Buterin has shown his philanthropic side on several occasions in the past, including donating billions of dollars worth of Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/07/22190225/ethereum-co-founder-donated-1b-shiba-inu-to-aid-india-in-covid-19-battle-money-reaching-th">COVID relief in India</a> and sending generous amounts to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40422601/dogecoin-shiba-inu-fall-as-ethereum-co-founder-vitalik-buterin-donates-over-500k-worth-of-">animal charities</a> around the world.

As for Moo Deng, her popularity even spawned a meme coin, Moo Deng (MOODENG), worth $273 million in market capitalization.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) could emerge as &#8220;the next Oracle&#8221; in the artificial intelligence revolution, according to Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, who dubbed the data analytics firm &#8220;the Messi of AI&#8221; despite its stock already surging 395.42% in 2024.
What Happened: The company&#8217;s stock, trading at $82.14, has become the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s top performer this year, pushing its market capitalization to $183.23 billion. This remarkable run has positioned Palantir well above Wedbush&#8217;s $75 price target, though Ives maintains strong conviction in the company&#8217;s growth trajectory.
&#8220;Looking ahead to the next 5-10 years, I believe it&#8217;s all about Palantir. In the context of the AI revolution, this is just the beginning,&#8221; Ives emphasized <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcTK53LhP2w">on</a> CNBC&#8217;s Closing Bell Overtime. He describes Palantir as a &#8220;table-pounder&#8221; stock that investors should consider adding to their portfolios, despite its current price-to-earnings ratio of 411.90.
Former Palantir employee Alex Fishman, now with Empros Capital, provided additional insight into the company&#8217;s potential: &#8220;When I look at Palantir, it&#8217;s one of the few companies where I can easily envision it becoming 10 or 20 times its current size.&#8221; 
Fishman highlighted Palantir&#8217;s crucial role in defense and commercial sectors, describing it as &#8220;the glue that ties everything together&#8221; in coordinating critical technological efforts.

Why It Matters: Wall Street&#8217;s broader consensus remains more conservative, with an average price target of $35.58 based on 20 analyst ratings. However, recent updates suggest growing optimism. UBS issued an $80 price target on December 19, while Mizuho and Baird released positive outlooks, though their average target of $64.67 still implies a potential downside.
The company&#8217;s technical indicators suggest room for continued growth, with an RSI reading of 62 indicating the stock isn&#8217;t yet in overbought territory despite its dramatic rise. The stock&#8217;s 52-week range of $15.66 to $84.80 reflects its volatile but upward trajectory.
In the same discussion, Ives also raised Apple Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) price target to $325, citing AI initiatives, though he emphasized Palantir&#8217;s unique position in the enterprise AI space. As companies increasingly adopt AI solutions, Ives believes Palantir&#8217;s commercial expansion and defense sector dominance position it for continued growth into 2025.

What Happened: After teasing the $100,000 mark on Christmas, Bitcoin witnessed a steep decline, falling to an intraday low of $95,170.
Ethereum dropped to the $3,300 region following the to-and-from movement between $3,440 and $3,510.
Trading volumes for both currencies rose, indicating that traders returned from their Christmas break to book profits.
Over $270 million was liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours, with long liquidations accounting for $200 million.
Bitcoin's Open Interest increased by 0.97% in the last 24 hours. The majority of them were short positions, as evidenced by a drop in the Long/Short Ratio.
That said, nearly $760 million in short positions risked liquidation if Bitcoin rebounds to $100,000.
The market sentiment was "Greed," according to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index.

Analyst Notes: Influential cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez called attention to Bitcoin dipping below its "most significant" support level at $97,300.
"So, for the bearish outlook to be invalidated, BTC must reclaim this critical area of support and, more importantly, sustain a daily close above $100,000," Martinez stated.
As it turned out, the leading cryptocurrency failed to reach these predictions, remaining stuck in the $95,000 range.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Pull Back After Christmas Rally: Top Analyst Reveals What Happens Next After BTC Fails To Record Daily Close Above $100K

On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>). and Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SQ#NYSE">SQ</a>). Notably, the firm had sold shares of both these companies ahead of Christmas as well.
The Palantir Trade
Ark Invest decided to sell 103,410 shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. through its ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>). The sale, valued at approximately $8.5 million based on Palantir&#8217;s closing price of $82.14, aligns with Ark&#8217;s recent trend of reducing its position in Palantir. 
Palantir&#8217;s stock has seen a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42673408/palantir-stock-is-trading-at-all-time-highs-whats-going-on">remarkable surge</a>, climbing over 380% since the beginning of the year, largely due to its strong positioning in the AI sector. This rally gained momentum in November following the company&#8217;s impressive quarterly results, which highlighted robust demand for AI solutions.
The Block Trade
In another strategic move, Ark Invest sold 15,342 shares of Block Inc. from ARKK. This transaction was valued at approximately $1.4 million, calculated from Block&#8217;s closing price of $91.48. Block, previously known as Square, has been a key player in the digital payments space and has a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) focus. Bitcoin has been in focus as the leading cryptocurrency has been consistently hitting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42334991/as-bitcoin-hits-100k-for-the-first-time-ark-invests-cathie-wood-calls-it-a-much-bigger-idea-than-gold-and-that-it-is-still-is-in-early-innings">new all-time highs</a> this year.

Cathie Wood Takes Profit On Hot AI Stock Palantir Again, Continues To Sell Block Shares Amid Bitcoin Buzz

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Hydrogen energy remains a compelling alternative energy source, especially as we remain in an environment with elevated energy costs. There are a few ways to generate energy from hydrogen. For example, one way is less environmentally friendly and leverages the process of developing natural gas, which leaves a hydrogen byproduct that companies can use to make &ldquo;blue&rdquo; hydrogen. Green hydrogen solely relies on <a href="https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/hydrogen-production-electrolysis#:~:text=Electrolysis%20is%20the%20process%20of,a%20unit%20called%20an%20electrolyzer.">electrolysis</a> &ndash; the splitting of hydrogen atoms from water &ndash; to create the potent energy source.



<a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/energy/renewable-energy/hydrogen/">Hydrogen stocks</a> have not proven to be the best investments over the past 12 months, though. Oil prices coming down from record highs, as well as a lack of capital being deployed to hydrogen projects, have affected investors&rsquo; outlook on the sector. Rate cuts, however, could provide some of the juice hydrogen stocks have needed. Because producing green hydrogen is a capital-intensive process, lower interest rates on debt could spark a revitalization of the space. With that said, below are three hydrogen stocks to bet on for market-crushing returns.



<h2>Air Products (APD)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/apd_air_products1600-300x169.png" alt="Air Products (APD) logo on the Arts Quest building, Air Products is a sponsor of Air Products Town Square at Arts Quest in Bethlehem, PA"><div>Source: Andy Borysowski / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Air Products (NYSE: <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/apd-stock-quote/">APD</a>) is industrial gases business that has been around since the 1940s. The firm has taken a <a href="https://investors.airproducts.com/static-files/40486de7-1bfd-42a7-ba36-984fb0b692af">dual approach</a> to its gas operations: on the one hand, developing gases, including oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen for the operations of various industrial companies, and on the other hand delivering clean hydrogen solutions to companies looking to decrease their carbon footprint. Air Products is also a key provider of liquified natural gas technology, which includes turbo machinery, membrane systems and cryogenic containers. In fiscal year 2023, ending on September 30th, 2023, Air Products generated $12.6 billion in sales, 45% of which came from North America and 23% of which came from EMEA and India.



Air Products&rsquo; share price took two separate major downswings after the company revealed dismal demand from Asia in its first-quarter earnings report for fiscal year 2024 and pricing power issues in its second-quarter report. However, APD appears to be on its way to recovery. Shares had tumbled more than 20% for the year in February, but now the stock is only down 7.9% on a year-to-date basis. The industrial gas firm&rsquo;s relatively low 20.1x forward earnings multiple makes a potential investment even more enticing.



<h2>Bloom Energy (BE)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/shutterstock_1473297014-5-300x169.jpg" alt="BE stock Bloom Energy logo on a building"><div>Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock</div></div>Bloom Energy (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/be-stock-quote/">BE</a>) is a developer of solid-oxide technology that converts natural gas, biogas and hydrogen into electricity. The firm leverages this technology to create fuel cells that other businesses can use for on-site power generation. Companies in a variety of industries have sought to decrease their carbon footprint, and for some of them, investing in hydrogen energy technologies makes an attractive long-term investment.



The company, like many pure-play hydrogen stocks in the space, has suffered from a lack of demand and investment from its customers, who are also trying to keep costs down. First-quarter earnings for fiscal year 2024 were, again, emblematic of Bloom Energy&rsquo;s current struggles, with both revenue and gross margins <a href="https://investor.bloomenergy.com/press-releases/press-release-details/2024/Bloom-Energy-Reports-First-Quarter-2024-Financial-Results/default.aspx">in decline</a> on a year-over-year basis.



A recent silver lining has been Bloom&rsquo;s ability to raise capital in this uncertain economic environment. The company had been hoping to raise $250 million in green convertible notes, but capital markets seemed to have more confidence in Bloom Energy, and the hydrogen company walked away with <a href="https://investor.bloomenergy.com/press-releases/press-release-details/2024/Bloom-Energy-Corporation-Prices-Upsized-350.0-Million-Green-Convertible-Senior-Notes-Offering/default.aspx">$350 million in green convertible notes</a> priced at a rate of 3% annual coupon. With that kind of capital added to Bloom Energy&rsquo;s $515.9 million cash balance, the company should have ample room to commit to new investments, even as customers are reticent to buy for now. 



<h2>Global X Hydrogen ETF (HYDR)</h2>



<a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/shutterstock_1784814938-scaled-e1679427565167.jpg"><img width="300" height="145" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/shutterstock_1784814938-scaled-e1679427565167-300x145.jpg" alt="A 3D illustration of hydrogen molecules."></a>Investors looking to hedge their bets by placing their capital in a large, diverse basket of hydrogen companies can look toward Global X Hydrogen ETF (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/hydr-stock-quote/">HYDR</a>). The ETF manages $42.7 million in assets, investing in hydrogen production, hydrogen fuel cells, hydrogen technology and hydrogen integration businesses. According to Koyfin, HYDR has 29 holdings, and many of them are those pure-play hydrogen businesses that are deeply committed to the space and have the potential to surge in price, as the macro environment clears up.



Of course, investors should think hard about when they would like to invest in HYDR, given shares have fallen 22% on a year-to-date basis. Interest rate cuts could be a big deal for the space, especially given that it&rsquo;s quite capital intensive. After the release of several promising macroeconomic data points, Federal Reserve <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-15/traders-add-to-bets-on-fed-rate-cuts-after-goldman-sachs-view">rate cut bets</a> are back on the rise, and this could help fuel HYDR and its hydrogen stocks in the near term.
