Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

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.

DON'T BUY

They just reported bad numbers. Avoid.

SELL ON STRENGTH
It reports next week.

If shares bounce, then sell. PLUG has disappointed for so long.

SELL ON STRENGTH

Is heavily shorted. If it gains 20%, sell. But it's a bad company that's disappointed.

COMMENT
They need earnings. If they get them, this can go even higher.
COMMENT
The Inflation Reduction Act will support cheaper hydrogen, which is a tailwind for PLUG. PLUG reports tomorrow. But they need to be more than just a niche fuel-cell producer. PLUG doesn't do well in earnings day, so keep that in mind.
SELL ON STRENGTH
It needs interest rates to go down before this stock goes higher. Don't sell it in the $30, though sell in the $40s for a trade.
HOLD
Hold. It just saw a huge run-up, and historically it pulls back after strong runs.
BUY
A great environmental play, making hydrogen fuel cells. The stock broke out today by nearly 9%. It remains a revenue, not an earnings story, but he believes clean energy buyers will keep this stock going for the next two months at least.
PARTIAL BUY
He loves hydrogen power, and PLUG is the most visible may to play it, but Linde is the biggest maker of this power.
COMMENT
If their report screws up in the first week of August, after what's happened they MUST put up good numbers.
DON'T BUY
Don't worry about the class-action lawsuit. If you believe in hydrogen power, buy PLUG. However, PLUG's accounting irregularity made him sour on this stock at all.
HOLD

At the heart of debate on hydrogen power. Used in forklifts and such so that the Amazons and Walmarts of the world can reduce carbon footprint. He has a small position in BLDP instead. Both will do well as the market grows and the infrastructure builds out. Accounting issues at PLUG suggest caution.

BUY
FCT-X recently downgraded by an analyst FCT is not as good as PLUG. which have enough money to get it where green hydrogen is accepted as a legitimate fuel.
