Plug Power Inc. (PLUG) in the fuel systems and storage business. It hit the mainstream news rounds when the stock rose literally from pennies to about $12 in stock price. Since then, the stock has fallen back down over 80%. The run up was a bit of bad money chasing overblown momentum, but the fundamentals surrounding the firm did drastically change for the better. That’s simply a fact. All of a sudden the company is signing multi-million dollar contracts and to date, those contracts have (for the most part) come in.
On the other hand, the company has never turned a profit or positive free cash flow and it is sustaining operations with a rather sizeable stock selling program. But, love it or hate it, PLUG has seen revenue (TTM) rise over both one- and two-years by 164.55% and 174.46%, respectively. Revenue in the most recent trailing-twelve-months is $68 million. Last year PLUG stated $26 million and two-years ago annual revenue was $25.
The average estimate for next quarter’s revenue of $19.7 million is well above last quarter’s $9.4 million. In English, revenue is busting at the seams. It’s everything else that’s the problem.
