Hydrogen fuel cell stock Plug Power Inc spiked Wednesday after the companymissed second quarter earnings predictions, reporting losses greater than expected. This comes after the U.S. Senate approved a sweeping spending bill over the weekend that would direct billions of dollars toward clean energy projects.

Analysts predicted Plug Power Inc would report a net loss of 20 cents per share and $161 million in revenue in Q2.

However, Plug Power Inc lost 30 cents per share and $151.3 million in revenue, a 21% increase year-over-year. The company also reaffirmed its full fiscal year sales forecast of $900 million-$925 million on Tuesday.

It appears the markets reacted to the hydrogen fuel cell specialist's second-quarter numbers, released yesterday after market close. Ironically, Plug Power missed analysts' estimates on both its top and bottom lines, and there were no surprises in its full-year guidance, either. In fact, Plug Power's numbers look so dismal that any other stock would have crashed after such an earnings report.

Yet, something the company said caught investors' attention, and several analysts were quick to bump up their price targets on the hydrogen stock on the day.

Plug Power Inc said it now has a "clear path" to its 2025 goals of hitting $3 billion in annual revenue with a gross margin exceeding 30%.

Also, on its second-quarter earnings call, CEO Andy Marsh said the company expects a "boom" in its green hydrogen and electrolyzer business thanks to the Senate's passage of the Inflation Reduction Act this week. Plug Power estimates the clean hydrogen production tax credit of $3 per kilogram of green hydrogen produced after 2022 announced under the legislation could add $500 million in incremental cash flow every year at the company's targeted production 2025 level of 500 tons per day.

As well, several analysts upgraded their price targets on Plug Power Inc stock yesterday based on its robust backlog and the growth potential under the Inflation Reduction Act, among other things. Some of the analysts and their new price targets on Plug Power stock include:

  •  BMO Capital's Ameet Thakkar: $29 a share.
  •  Susquehanna's Biju Perincheril: $35 a share.
  •  J.P. Morgan's Bill Peterson: $32 per share.

The Profits Explained.....

Entered the Plug Power Inc trade on Wednesday, August 03, 2022 for $1.82.

Exited the trade Wednesday, August 10 for $6.10 for a potential profit of 235%.

Why the initial Weekly Options Call Trade on
Plug Power Inc

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ: PLUG), a leading maker of hydrogen fuel cells, is trying to rebound as momentum in renewable energy lifts shares.

On July 15, Sen. Joe Manchin revealed he would not vote in favor of an economic package that included new spending on clean-energy programs. But a week later, he changed course and now says he is in favor of a spending bill that includes climate spending, improving PLUG stock's outlook.

The company aims to produce more than half of its hydrogen energy from entirely renewable sources by 2024. It also aims to branch out from forklifts to heavy-duty vehicles to serve ports in the U.S. and Europe, as well as stationary fuel cells to power data centers and distribution hubs.

Plug Power Inc has five pedestal customers: Amazon, HomeDepot, Walmart, Stellantis and Mercedes.

Let’s review several other catalysts that may push the stock price higher…..

  • Building Belgium plant,
  • European Expansion,
  • Walmart Deal,
  • Partnerships,
  • Expanding in the U.S., and
  • Diversification.
