Guidance

Plug Power Expects Q2 Revenue Between $140M And $180M Vs. $143.35M Est.

Plug expects net cash usage for Q1 2025 to be approximately $142 million compared to $268 million in Q1 2024.&nbsp;&nbsp; Net cash usage represents the change in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, less proceeds from public and private offerings, net of transaction costs, and excludes principal payments of convertible instruments. Plug anticipates additional near-term reductions to net cash usage driven by hydrogen plant ramp-ups, additional cost downs, and additional price increases. The net cash usage for the first quarter 2025 could have been lower given the Company has been working with a key customer on a major price change and program enhancement which is effective from January 1, 2025 onwards

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) shares are trading higher by 11.5% to 88 cents Tuesday afternoon. The stock is rebounding sharply amid a broad Wall Street rally, sparked by potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44930495/wall-street-rebounds-ahead-of-tesla-earnings-dow-adds-1000-points-bitcoin-hits-91000-whats-driving-markets-tuesday">easing of geopolitical concerns.</a>
What To Know: Tuesday&#8217;s market bounce followed Monday's sell-off, which was triggered by the Trump administration&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44904179/wall-street-sinks-dollar-slides-as-trump-ramps-up-fed-attacks-whats-driving-markets-monday">pressure</a> on the Federal Reserve. On Tuesday, major indices all surged more than 2.5%, with the Nasdaq-100 gaining over 400 points.
Sentiment improved further after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44930495/wall-street-rebounds-ahead-of-tesla-earnings-dow-adds-1000-points-bitcoin-hits-91000-whats-driving-markets-tuesday">signaled</a> a potential easing in U.S.-China tensions.
Plug Power shares have also been volatile in recent sessions following last week&#8217;s launch of a major hydrogen liquefaction facility in Louisiana, developed in partnership with Olin Corporation. The company says the facility adds 15 metric tons of daily capacity and strengthens Plug's domestic supply chain.
Despite financial headwinds—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44614627/plug-power-stock-plagued-by-earnings-miss-cost-cuts-280m-capital-raise-in-march">including a fourth-quarter earnings miss</a>, a $280 million capital raise, and a sharp revenue guidance cut—CEO Andy Marsh remains bullish, taking 50% of his salary in company stock to signal confidence in the company's long-term outlook.

3 Green Energy Stocks Trending On Earth Day 2025

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) shares have tumbled 40% to 78 cents in April, weighed down by weak earnings and a reduced revenue outlook despite the launch of a new hydrogen liquefaction plant.
What To Know: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44875414/whats-going-on-with-plug-power-stock-today">company&#8217;s joint venture</a> with Olin Corp., Hidrogenii, began operations at a major facility in Louisiana capable of producing 15 metric tons of hydrogen daily. This brings Plug's total U.S. production capacity to 40 metric tons per day and strengthens its domestic hydrogen supply chain.
However, the stock remains under pressure following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44614627/plug-power-stock-plagued-by-earnings-miss-cost-cuts-280m-capital-raise-in-march">disappointing fourth-quarter earnings report</a> from March, which revealed revenue of $191.5 million—well below analyst estimates—and a gross margin loss of 122%. 
The company also booked nearly $1 billion in impairment charges. In response, Plug announced cost-cutting measures through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44103584/plug-stock-drops-as-hydrogen-leader-struggles-with-margins-initiates-cost-reduction-plan">"Project Quantum Leap"</a> and raised $280 million in new capital.
While management remains optimistic, with CEO Andy Marsh opting to take half his salary in stock, investors are remaining cautious due to lingering financial uncertainty and a lowered 2025 revenue forecast.

Plug Power Stock Sinks 40% In April Amid Financial Struggles Despite Hydrogen Plant Launch

Plug Power, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading lower on Thursday</a>. The company&#8217;s joint venture with Olin Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OLN#NYSE">OLN</a>), named Hidrogenii, officially launched operations at its new hydrogen liquefaction facility in St. Gabriel, Louisiana—one of the largest of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44860452/hidrogenii-a-plug-and-olin-joint-venture-commissions-15-ton-per-day-hydrogen-liquefaction-plant-in" rel="noreferrer noopener">its kind in North America.</a>
The plant, capable of liquefying up to 15 metric tons of hydrogen per day, will serve Plug&#8217;s material handling customers nationwide.
The move marks a significant step toward building a robust U.S.-based hydrogen supply chain and underscores Plug&#8217;s ongoing effort to scale its green energy production network, the company said in a press release.

Hydrogen for the St. Gabriel plant will be produced by Olin and distributed via trailers under Plug&#8217;s spot pricing model.
With this addition, Plug&#8217;s total hydrogen production capacity now reaches 40 metric tons per day, including output from its existing Georgia and Tennessee facilities.
The company emphasized the cost and reliability benefits of sourcing domestically produced hydrogen, which reduces its reliance on external suppliers.
&#8220;This Louisiana plant, a milestone in expanding our U.S. hydrogen network, bolsters our financial position by leveraging a dependable, cost-effective hydrogen source,&#8221; said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power.
He noted that this development helps strengthen the company&#8217;s operational foundation while supporting growth.
Ken Lane, President and CEO of Olin, described the joint venture as aligned with Olin&#8217;s strategic priorities. Lane called it &#8220;a value-first approach&#8221; that builds on core competencies through adjacent, capital-efficient projects.
Formed in 2022, Hidrogenii was created to develop and operate hydrogen infrastructure.

Seaport Global Maintains Sell on Plug Power, Lowers Price Target to $0.75

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.
