Plug Power Inc. (PLUG-Q) reported a revenue of $174 million, reflecting a 30.1% increase from the previous quarter, signaling a positive trend in demand for its products. However, the company's gross profit remains concerning at -$53 million, showing a 27.6% decline since the last quarter, indicating challenges in production and efficiency. Social media mentions have surged by 14.9% in the past 24 hours, suggesting heightened interest from the public. Some analysts view Plug Power as an emerging player related to AI, particularly due to its relevance in hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, as the push for sustainable power for data centers grows. Despite the enthusiasm, the consensus warns of significant financial risks, as Plug Power has never achieved profitability and currently faces negative cash flows. Investors are advised to approach with caution as the stock exhibits traits of a MEME or FOMO investment.

PLUG is moving as a new potential AI play, as well as by short covering (31% short interest). Interest in hydrogen and fuelcells has increased as investors fret about the need for power to run AI data centres. It has never made money and cash flow is massively negative. It is a bit of a MEME/FOMO stock right now, and we can't endorse it on its fundamentals.

PLUG stock has been quite weak, but it is still in fundamental growth mode. Sales are expected to go from ~$700M in 2022 to more than $1.9B in 2024, based on estimates. It is, however, still losing money, with negative cash flow, and in a weaker market tape investors get more concerned about this. The balance sheet is decent, with about $400M net cash, but we note cash flow was negative $1B in the last 12 months. It will likely need more capital, and it may be more interesting when it decides to issue equity (we are assuming a discounted price if this happens). Its loss last quarter was higher than expected, and it had previously expected to be profitable this year, but this now looks to be pushed into 2025. So, we like the growth trend, but are a little concerned about its capital needs. We think buyers can wait here.
