¿Qué está pasando con las acciones de Plug Power (PLUG) hoy?

Plug Power Inc

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) stock was extremely volatile last month, marked by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/g44096388/plug-power-announces-continued-cash-flow-improvement-and-progress-on-path-to-profitability">disappointing earnings</a>, strategic cost-cutting measures and a significant capital raise to bolster the company&#8217;s financial position.
What To Know: The hydrogen fuel cell company announced in March that it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44103584/plug-stock-drops-as-hydrogen-leader-struggles-with-margins-initiates-cost-reduction-plan">missed analyst expectations</a> for the fourth quarter of 2024, reporting $191.5 million in revenue versus the projected $263.2 million, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Despite a 583% year-over-year increase in electrolyzer revenue, the company posted a gross margin loss of 122% and recorded $971.3 million in non-cash impairment charges.&nbsp;
To address these challenges, Plug launched <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44103584/plug-stock-drops-as-hydrogen-leader-struggles-with-margins-initiates-cost-reduction-plan">&#8220;Project Quantum Leap,&#8221;</a> aiming to cut annual expenses by $150 million to $200 million through workforce reductions, facility consolidations, and discretionary spending cuts. That was enough for investors as the stock sold off and has continued to trend lower since.
J.P. Morgan analyst Bill Peterson reiterated a Neutral rating following the quarter, noting that while Plug could see <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44147221/plug-powers-cautious-climb-analyst-highlights-growth-amid-funding-delays">moderate growth in 2025</a> through increased electrolyzer deployments and material handling demand, its financial outlook remains uncertain. 
The company also lowered its full-year revenue guidance to a range of $700 million to $800 million, down from prior expectations of $850 million to $950 million.
On March 19, Plug announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/offerings/25/03/44401708/whats-going-on-with-plug-power-stock-today-8">$280 million capital raise</a> through a stock and warrant offering, a move CEO Andy Marsh said would improve liquidity and position the company for long-term profitability. 
Marsh further signaled confidence by opting to receive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44417764/whats-going-on-with-plug-power-stock-today">50% of his salary</a> in company stock, reinforcing management's commitment to Plug's future. Despite the positive reinforcement, shares continued to move lower, closing out March at the lows for the month.

J.P. Morgan analyst Bill Peterson shared key takeaways from the conference hosted for Plug Power, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLUG/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a Neutral rating.</a>
The analyst writes that the discussions mainly centered on the demand outlook across its three key verticals, cost-saving initiatives, and the financial roadmap for the year.
Although not a central topic, there are signs of potential support from the new administration for Plug&#8217;s Texas DOE loan. Meanwhile, the timeline for the first loan disbursement, if approved, remains unclear, adds the analyst.
The analyst notes that Plug recently lowered its full-year revenue guidance to ~$700 million-$800 million from the previous $850 million-$950 million, citing macro headwinds and policy uncertainty.
Peterson expects Electrolyzers to be the top revenue driver in 2025, with growth weighted toward the second half due to commissioning timelines—potentially mirroring 2024&#8217;s ~60% growth, though he remain conservative.
Earlier this month, Plug Power disclosed that it expects Project Quantum Leap to reduce annual expenses in the range of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44103584/plug-stock-drops-as-hydrogen-leader-struggles-with-margins-initiates-cost-reduction-plan" rel="noreferrer noopener">$150 million to $200 million</a>.
The analyst says that if the company&#8217;s plan works as expected, the fourth quarter could potentially be a strong breakeven quarter, driven by increased revenue and cost savings, though he still expects this to be much further in the future.
