FuelCell Energy Inc (NASDAQ:FCEL)’s shares dropped -0.04% to $0.915.
FuelCell Energy Inc (FCEL) came up short of most expectations when it stated second-quarter financial results on Tuesday. The highlights:
- Revenue of $28.6 million, down 25.3% from last year’s second quarter.
- Gross profit rose by 25% and gross margin was up 69%.
- Net loss fell from $16.6 million to $10.4 million, a strong improvement.
So sales were down, but the profitability metrics improved, even if the company is still losing money. Let’s dig deeper into the hydrogen fuel cell specialist’s results.
FuelCell Energy has many irons in the fire and could get some pretty major deals done in the coming year, but frankly, the second quarter’s improvements came alongside worrisome declining sales and a shrinking pipeline of future results.
If investors want to continue chasing the so-far elusive profits of the hydrogen revolution, they should go ahead. But until the company inconsistent shows it can be — and remain — profitable, this investor will remain firmly on the sidelines.
