Plug Power Inc

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) shares rose 3.6% to 72 cents on Friday, clawing back some ground after a sharp selloff earlier in the week. The stock remains down 21% since Monday's session following a mixed first-quarter earnings report that highlighted growth potential but underscored ongoing financial challenges.
What To Know: The company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45387898/plug-power-stock-is-tumbling-tuesday-whats-going-on">first-quarter revenue</a> of $133.67 million, exceeding analyst estimates of $132.16 million and marking an 11% year-over-year increase. 
Growth was fueled by a 575% surge in GenEco electrolyzer sales and continued momentum in material handling and cryogenic platform deployments. 
However, a wider-than-expected net loss of 21 cents per share, compared to a forecasted 19-cent loss, weighed on investor sentiment.

Plug Power <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45387898/plug-power-stock-is-tumbling-tuesday-whats-going-on">reaffirmed</a> its strategic focus for 2025, narrowing its efforts to core areas—electrolyzers, hydrogen supply and material handling—where it sees the strongest competitive advantages. 
Management highlighted progress in scaling hydrogen production and improving capital efficiency through tax credit transfers and project equity financing.
Despite guiding second-quarter revenue above expectations at $140 million to $180 million, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45417895/jp-morgan-signals-caution-on-plug-powers-near-term-challenges-withdraws-price-forecast">analysts remain cautious</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy PLUG Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Plug Power (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>)'s case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, PLUG has a 52-week high of $3.55 and a 52-week low of $0.70.

Plug Power Stock Hits A New 52-Week Low: What's Going On?

JP Morgan analyst Bill Peterson reiterated a Neutral rating on Plug Power, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) but <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLUG/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">has withdrawn the price forecast</a>.
On May 12, 2025, the company reported first-quarter revenue of $133.67 million, beating analyst&nbsp;estimates of $132.16 million and a loss of 21 cents per share, missing analyst estimates for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45361043/plug-power-q1-earnings-revenue-beats-estimates-driven-by-575-growth-in-electrolyzer-sales-eps-falls-short-company-highlights-real-progress-toward-profitability" rel="noreferrer noopener">a loss of 19 cents per share</a>.
Plug Power guided for second-quarter revenue in the range of $140 million to $180 million, versus estimates of $132.16 million, signaling <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45387898/plug-power-stock-is-tumbling-tuesday-whats-going-on" rel="noreferrer noopener">confidence in continued demand growth</a>.

The analyst adjusted its second-quarter revenue estimates towards the lower end of the company&#8217;s guidance range at $150 million (down from $156 million prior).
Peterson has also slightly reduced the electrolyzer growth projections for the year, anticipating potential deal delays into 2026.
Consequently, the analyst lowered the full-year revenue estimate to $729 million (from $756 million previously).
The analyst also factored in Plug Power&#8217;s need to raise an additional $100 million to $200 million to bridge the funding gap required for the initial drawdown of its Department of Energy (DOE) loan, which may occur later this year or in early 2026.
Overall, the analyst says that Plug Power has significant potential for future growth through expansion into new markets, geographies, and the green hydrogen sector.
However, the company currently faces near-term challenges related to liquidity, margin improvement, and the availability of hydrogen, which is impacting its current outlook.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Global X Hydrogen ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYDR#NASDAQ">HYDR</a>).
Price Action: PLUG shares are down 3.91% at $0.78 at the last check on Wednesday.

What 14 Analyst Ratings Have To Say About Plug Power

Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) shares are trading lower Wednesday after the company reported first-quarter results that showed revenue growth, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45361043/plug-power-q1-earnings-revenue-beats-estimates-driven-by-575-growth-in-electrolyzer-sales-eps-falls-short-company-highlights-real-progress-toward-profitability">but a wider-than-expected loss</a>.
What To Know: The move comes despite a beat on the top line, as investors focused on ongoing profitability challenges and cautious sentiment around the company's path forward.
For the first quarter, Plug reported revenue of $133.67 million, slightly ahead of analyst expectations of $132.16 million and up from $120.26 million in the same quarter last year. The company credited the revenue growth to strong momentum in its electrolyzer segment, where GenEco electrolyzer sales surged 575% year-over-year. Plug also cited continued demand in material handling and growth in cryogenic platform deployments.
Despite the revenue beat, the company posted a net loss of 21 cents per share, missing analyst estimates for a 19-cent loss. Plug noted progress in managing its cash flow, with net cash used in operations and investing dropping to $152.1 million, compared to $288.3 million in the prior year's quarter. The company ended the period with $295.8 million in unrestricted cash.
Management emphasized a narrowed focus for 2025, stating it will concentrate on material handling, electrolyzers and hydrogen supply, areas where Plug believes it holds competitive advantages. CEO Andy Marsh said the company is working to scale its hydrogen ecosystem and drive adoption of its GenEco platform globally. He also highlighted new production capacity coming online in Louisiana and efforts to strengthen capital efficiency through financing initiatives such as tax credit transfers and project equity structures.
Plug Power guided for second-quarter revenue in the range of $140 million to $180 million, versus estimates of $132.16 million, signaling confidence in continued demand growth. 
Following the print, Canaccord Genuity analyst George Gianarikas maintained a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">Hold rating</a> and lowered the price target from $1.25 to $1, which may be adding pressure to shares on Tuesday.
PLUG Price Action: Plug Power shares were down 9.41%, trading at approximately 82 cents at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Plug Power Stock Is Tumbling Tuesday: What's Going On?

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) Monday reported its first-quarter results.
With U.S. policy for green energy posing challenges, the company is likely to shift its focus to international opportunities, according to JPMorgan.
The Plug Power Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5aabc09cb023000001cb8b57/bill-peterson">Analyst Bill Peterson</a> maintained a Neutral rating and price target of 96 cents.
The Plug Power Thesis: The company reported its quarterly revenue at $134 million, in-line with its pre-announcement, and reiterated its second-quarter revenue guidance of $140 million-180 million, Peterson said in the note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
The wide range in Plug Power's revenue guidance was due to "execution and timing on its ~$200M electrolyzer backlog," he added.
The U.S. government's House Ways and Means Committee presented a proposal to eliminate the 45V tax credit for clean hydrogen facilities starting construction after 2025, the analyst stated.
"The 45V tax credit update is likely mixed, given investor concerns around full repeal and long-term negative for green hydrogen projects in the U.S. offset by the likelihood for Plug Power to uniquely benefit from GA/TX projects," he further wrote.
New customers in Europe could help Plug Power achieve its target of 10%-20% year-on-year growth this year, Peterson said.
The company is also "executing well" on cost reduction and its cash burn could ease further over the coming quarters, he added.
PLUG Price Action: Shares of Plug Power had declined by 9.2% to $0.82 at the time of publication on Tuesday.

Canaccord Genuity Maintains Hold on Plug Power, Lowers Price Target to $1

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) reported financial results for the first quarter after the market close on Monday. Here&#8217;s a rundown <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45358934/plug-reports-first-quarter-2025-financial-results">of the report</a>.
Q1 Earnings: Plug Power reported first-quarter revenue of $133.67 million, beating analyst&nbsp;<a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/plug/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimates</a>&nbsp;of $132.16 million. Total revenue was up from $120.26 million in the prior year&#8217;s quarter. 
The company reported a first-quarter loss of 21 cents per share, missing analyst estimates for a loss of 19 cents per share, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Plug said its results were driven by growing electrolyzer deliveries, continued demand in material handling and ongoing deployments in the company&#8217;s cryogenic platform. The company noted that GenEco electrolyzer sales increased&nbsp;575%&nbsp;on a year-over-year basis. 
Net cash used in operations and investing activities declined to $152.1 million in the quarter, down from $288.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. Plug ended the quarter with approximately $295.8 million&nbsp;in unrestricted cash.
&#8220;In 2025, we are focused on three core areas: material handling, electrolyzers and hydrogen supply. These are the businesses where Plug holds competitive advantages — and where we believe we can deliver the most meaningful impact for our customers and investors,&#8221; the company said in the earnings release.
Guidance:&nbsp;Plug Power expects second-quarter revenue to be in the range of $140 million to $180 million versus <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a> estimates of $132.16 million. 
Plug said it plans to focus on driving continued global adoption of its GenEco electrolyzer platform in 2025, while advancing financing initiatives such as investment tax credit transfers and project equity alignment to support long-term capital efficiency.
&#8220;With new capacity online in Louisiana, accelerating adoption of our GenEco electrolyzers, and improved cash flow discipline, Plug is executing with focus and urgency. We&#8217;re delivering real progress toward profitability and scaling our hydrogen ecosystem to meet growing global demand for clean energy,&#8221; said&nbsp;Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power.
Plug reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45038400/plug-power-rallies-as-new-financing-cost-cuts-boost-confidence-in-turnaround-plan">preliminary results</a> for the first quarter at the end of April, which may help explain some of Monday&#8217;s muted reaction. 
Plug&#8217;s management team will hold a conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET to further discuss the quarter with investors and analysts.
PLUG Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/PLUG">Plug Power shares</a> were down 3.73% after-hours, trading at 87 cents at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

An Overview of Plug Power's Earnings

U.S.-based Hydrogen fuel cell company Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) will use German Chemical Company BASF's (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BASFY#OTCQX">BASFY</a>) purification solutions in its Hydrogen liquefaction plants.
What Happened: Plug Power will utilize BASF's Private Pd15 DeOxo catalysts as well as implement BASF's Oxygen and water removal solutions, Offshore Energy reported <a href="https://www.offshore-energy.biz/plug-power-to-use-basfs-purification-solutions-in-its-hydrogen-liquefaction-plants/">on</a> Thursday.
The collaboration will primarily focus on hydrogen liquefaction plants with capacities of 30, 60, and 90 tons per day, according to the report.
"We are proud to have also earned the approval of other leading players in the green hydrogen sector," BASF's Senior Vice President Detlef Ruff said.
"We believe this collaboration will provide our clients with proven and reliable end-to-end solutions that enhance the economic viability of liquid hydrogen plants," Plug Power's Vice President Daniel Kennedy shared in the statement.

Plug Power Partners Up With BASF: Will Use German Company's Purification Tech To Liquify Hydrogen

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
U.S. markets rebounded this week, fully recovering losses incurred since President Donald Trump's April 2 tariff escalation. The S&amp;P 500, Dow Jones and Nasdaq each rose by more than 1.3%, with Friday marking the S&amp;P 500's ninth consecutive daily gain — the longest streak since 2004.
The rally was fueled by a stronger-than-expected April jobs report, with 177,000 jobs added, surpassing forecasts of 135,000. Unemployment remained at 4.2%, and sectors like healthcare and transportation led job growth. However, Q1 GDP contracted by 0.3%, the largest drop since 2022, largely due to a surge in imports ahead of tariff implementations.
Corporate earnings contributed to market optimism. Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) exceeded Wall Street estimates, with Microsoft posting its best weekly performance in years. Despite these gains, concerns linger about the long-term economic impact of tariffs, as businesses face uncertainty and potential cost increases.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Lilly, Microsoft, Starbucks — And Markets Fully Recover Tariff Chaos Losses

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) shares are in the spotlight Tuesday after rallying 26% to start the week. Here&#8217;s a look at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45038400/plug-power-rallies-as-new-financing-cost-cuts-boost-confidence-in-turnaround-plan">what&#8217;s going on</a>.
What Happened: Plug Power shares raced higher on Monday after the company reported preliminary first-quarter results and announced it secured a credit facility of up to $525 million.
Plug said it signed a definitive agreement with Yorkville Advisors for a secured debt facility that includes the issuance of up to&nbsp;$525 million&nbsp;of secured debentures. The arrangement includes an initial&nbsp;$210 million&nbsp;tranche, which will be fully funded at the initial closing, along with additional tranches of up to&nbsp;$315 million.&nbsp;
Plug Power said it expects to report first-quarter revenue of approximately $130 million to $134 million. Analysts are anticipating first-quarter earnings of $131 million, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a> estimates. 
The company noted that it expects net cash usage in the first quarter of approximately $142 million, compared to $268 million in the first quarter of 2024. 
&#8220;Plug anticipates additional near-term reductions to net cash usage driven by hydrogen plant ramp-ups, additional cost downs, and additional price increases,&#8221; the company said.

Plug expects second-quarter revenue to be in the range of $140 million to $180 million versus estimates of $143.35 million. 
&#8220;We&#8217;ve made the tough decisions and put the structure in place to deliver improved operating leverage and capital efficiency,&#8221; said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power.
