DON'T BUY

Is a volatile trading stock. Long term, they will provide another source to drive vehicles. But the stock tends to make big run-ups, then pulls back. It depends on the market's risk appetite at a given time. He's owned this a few times and can be frustrating.

COMMENT

Renewables at lower cost rates don't work; you need the subsidies. But what does work are large-scale hydrogren projected. Not sure about small-scale like Ballard.

SELL

Recently, a lot more interest in hydrogen, which might be a spur to break its longtime downward trend. Very small company, not grabbing his attention. Better things to invest your $$ in.

WAIT

It holds promise to be a player in alternative energy. Today, there was an announcement of a major order and could improve sentiment. This is a patience game. You need a long-term view, because there will be various alternative forms of energy and momentum could shift.

DON'T BUY

They make fuel cells for large vehicles. It has traded sideways for most of its history. There are two major questions regarding hydrogen: where does it come from and how do you transport it since it has to be highly compressed.

RISKY

Highly speculative. He owns a tiny position. Society won't power EVs purely on batteries and will require a bridge that Ballard could benefit from. They represent value. A long-term hold for him.

HOLD

Long term hydrogen will be in demand.
Short term - business prospects unsure.
Company will need to generate profits to earn investment grade status.
Unsure on future of business. 

DON'T BUY

No profits, no dividends and losses forever. Has it ever made money?

DON'T BUY

Dream stock for 20 years (performance not materialized).
Hydrogen not gaining enough market share.
Would not recommend buying shares.
Does not earn enough profit.

DON'T BUY
Good opportunity with China opening up? China is the source of its largest orders. There's been a lag. Not too involved in China's EV trade. Longer term, hydrogen is more of a 10-year story, not a China reopening story. Can this technology be commercialized, and does BLDP have enough tech leadership to make it unique as everyone scrambles for a piece of the pie? Lots of challenges. High on speculation, so it depends on your timeline and risk tolerance.
WATCH
Spike in the chart was a result of pandemic enthusiasm, ARKK investing, brighter future. Concerned it's going to sit in a trading range over the next 2 years, dead money. If it trends lower, move out of the position and put your money to work in something that's working.
RISKY
Good contract with Siemens. The ball seems to be going toward electric, not hydrogen. If you can afford to take the risk, buy it. Could be a big winner, but be prepared to take substantial losses. Risk/reward is even.
DON'T BUY
Company has not been able to delivery technology to general public (fuel cells). Technology getting closer to mass production. Patents are being lost to competitors. Better investments out there. Risky investment that is speculative.
Unspecified
Its revenue is 100 million which is not large. Still waiting for it to really commercialize. It raised a lot of money at much higher prices so it has good reserves of cash. The fuel cell industry is still developing and the question is can it compete against the electric vehicle system.
WATCH
He used to own it to get exposure to fuel cells, but the market doesn't like high-PE names like this now. Also, their joint venture in China is delayed by supply chains and Covid. It's a leader in fuel cells using great technology, though. A higher-risk name, but it's in his bullpen so he can decide when to buy it back.
