Hmm. I agree, but speculation on this stock will be what is the fair value? Once reached can be bought and keep for longer term. Article did mention abt hydrogen fuel cell . Will it be the next play??

There are several reasons why this is happening, including, but not limited to, chip shortages, overvaluation concerns and the economy finally getting back on track. In the midst of all this, hydrogen fuel play Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) is down nearly 16% in the past month. I believe it’s the ideal time to look into PLUG stock again, considering the pullback.\nFor me, the PLUG issue has always been valuation. There have been wild oscillations in the stock for the last 12 months. It has a 52-week low of $3.70 per share and a 52-week high of $75.49 a pop.\nIf you managed to load up on this stock somewhere in 2019, you made a lot of money on your investment, as did several retail traders when shares started to go ballistic last year. Eventually, as they say, all good things have to come to an end. When markets started to get shaky, retail investors cashed out, taking profits and investing them elsewhere.\nHaving said that, $30 is the floor price for this one. It will continue to consolidate around this price and then break out upward. The major issue for PLUG stock is whether it can transform from a short-term trade to a buy-and-hold investment.\nPLUG Stock and the Future of Renewable Energy\nThe energy mix in the U.S. is changing rapidly. As a result,alternate energy stocks are the best ways to play this trend, albeit all the thunder has so far been reserved for EV plays like Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) and NIO(NYSE:NIO).\nPresident Joe Biden has unveiled a $2 trillion plan to strengthen the economy, rebuild infrastructure and provide millions of jobs.InvestorPlace Web Content Producer Sarah Smith wrote an interesting piece on stocks that will benefit massively from this announcement. More specifically, the administration is spending $174 billion to promote EVs and install 500,000 charging stations to create a national EV charging network.\nUnderstandably, EV stocks surged based on this announcement.\nThe green hydrogen industry needs a similar boost from Biden. During former President George W. Bush’s first term, there were talks of the first-ever hydrogen locomotive. Not only would it be excellent for the environment, but it would also help in weaning off America from dependence on foreign oil.\nUnfortunately, former President Barack Obama shifted gears and focused more on electric vehicles rather than fuel-cell technology. Time will tell what strategy Biden adopts with regards to the hydrogen fuel cell industry.\nFuel cell technology has benefits over batteries for certain vehicles, at least in forklifts. They consume less energy and take less time to recharge in comparison to batteries. Still, the savings are not massive at this point. Plus, Tesla is working on a “million-mile battery.” It should help solve the major issue that is keeping EVs from wider adoption.\nPositive Recent Developments\nSK Group, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea,made a $1.6 billion capital investment in Plug Power. The deal aims to build a gigafactory in Korea by 2023 to provide access to the broader Asian markets. SK Group owns roughly 9.6% of Plug Power’s outstanding share capital following the investment.\nIn January, French carmakerRenaultand Plug Power entered a 50/50 joint venture to target an over 30% share of hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Europe. The joint venture will be formed by the end of June and build a fuel cell stack and system manufacturing center in France that will offer hydrogen refueling systems.\nFinancial Performance Needs to Improve\nThe litmus test for PLUG moving forward will be its operating performance. The broader EV frenzy will continue to be a tailwind for a while. However, any company worth its salt has to prove its credentials through its financials in the long run. Unless that happens, gains will quickly evaporate with each quarterly-earnings miss.\nIn the last four quarters, it has managed to beat expectations just once. In the fourth quarter of 2020, PLUG reported earnings-per-share (EPS) of negative $1.12, missing analyst estimates of a 10.4 cent loss by a whopping 976.9%, per Refinitiv data. On the bright side, gross billings increased 42.5% year-over-year, finishing at $337 million for the year.\nAccording to the company, the major expense was related to non-cash charges caused by the accelerated vesting of a customer’s remaining warrants. So, it is a one-time expense that is not related to its operational performance. However, even if we consider the recent dismal performance as an anomaly, the prior three quarters’ performances are also concerning.\nPlus, even though PLUG stock is trading at a discount, it’s still the most expensive of its peer group.\nPLUG Is Worth a Look\nRenewable energy stocks will only climb from here. Still, for PLUG stock to become a viable, stable investment, it needs to show consistent bottom-line growth. For the time being, PLUG remains more of a speculative play and less of a solid long-term investment.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":379701933,"gmtCreate":1618792671922,"gmtModify":1704714882372,"author":{"id":"3577443068440656","authorId":"3577443068440656","name":"Alykrunch","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/31f6afa1679347244125537288dce699","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Buy?

There are several reasons why this is happening, including, but not limited to, chip shortages, overvaluation concerns and the economy finally getting back on track. In the midst of all this, hydrogen fuel play Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) is down nearly 16% in the past month. I believe it’s the ideal time to look into PLUG stock again, considering the pullback.\nFor me, the PLUG issue has always been valuation. There have been wild oscillations in the stock for the last 12 months. It has a 52-week low of $3.70 per share and a 52-week high of $75.49 a pop.\nIf you managed to load up on this stock somewhere in 2019, you made a lot of money on your investment, as did several retail traders when shares started to go ballistic last year. Eventually, as they say, all good things have to come to an end. When markets started to get shaky, retail investors cashed out, taking profits and investing them elsewhere.\nHaving said that, $30 is the floor price for this one. It will continue to consolidate around this price and then break out upward. The major issue for PLUG stock is whether it can transform from a short-term trade to a buy-and-hold investment.\nPLUG Stock and the Future of Renewable Energy\nThe energy mix in the U.S. is changing rapidly. As a result,alternate energy stocks are the best ways to play this trend, albeit all the thunder has so far been reserved for EV plays like Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) and NIO(NYSE:NIO).\nPresident Joe Biden has unveiled a $2 trillion plan to strengthen the economy, rebuild infrastructure and provide millions of jobs.InvestorPlace Web Content Producer Sarah Smith wrote an interesting piece on stocks that will benefit massively from this announcement. More specifically, the administration is spending $174 billion to promote EVs and install 500,000 charging stations to create a national EV charging network.\nUnderstandably, EV stocks surged based on this announcement.\nThe green hydrogen industry needs a similar boost from Biden. During former President George W. Bush’s first term, there were talks of the first-ever hydrogen locomotive. Not only would it be excellent for the environment, but it would also help in weaning off America from dependence on foreign oil.\nUnfortunately, former President Barack Obama shifted gears and focused more on electric vehicles rather than fuel-cell technology. Time will tell what strategy Biden adopts with regards to the hydrogen fuel cell industry.\nFuel cell technology has benefits over batteries for certain vehicles, at least in forklifts. They consume less energy and take less time to recharge in comparison to batteries. Still, the savings are not massive at this point. Plus, Tesla is working on a “million-mile battery.” It should help solve the major issue that is keeping EVs from wider adoption.\nPositive Recent Developments\nSK Group, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea,made a $1.6 billion capital investment in Plug Power. The deal aims to build a gigafactory in Korea by 2023 to provide access to the broader Asian markets. SK Group owns roughly 9.6% of Plug Power’s outstanding share capital following the investment.\nIn January, French carmakerRenaultand Plug Power entered a 50/50 joint venture to target an over 30% share of hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Europe. The joint venture will be formed by the end of June and build a fuel cell stack and system manufacturing center in France that will offer hydrogen refueling systems.\nFinancial Performance Needs to Improve\nThe litmus test for PLUG moving forward will be its operating performance. The broader EV frenzy will continue to be a tailwind for a while. However, any company worth its salt has to prove its credentials through its financials in the long run. Unless that happens, gains will quickly evaporate with each quarterly-earnings miss.\nIn the last four quarters, it has managed to beat expectations just once. In the fourth quarter of 2020, PLUG reported earnings-per-share (EPS) of negative $1.12, missing analyst estimates of a 10.4 cent loss by a whopping 976.9%, per Refinitiv data. On the bright side, gross billings increased 42.5% year-over-year, finishing at $337 million for the year.\nAccording to the company, the major expense was related to non-cash charges caused by the accelerated vesting of a customer’s remaining warrants. So, it is a one-time expense that is not related to its operational performance. However, even if we consider the recent dismal performance as an anomaly, the prior three quarters’ performances are also concerning.\nPlus, even though PLUG stock is trading at a discount, it’s still the most expensive of its peer group.\nPLUG Is Worth a Look\nRenewable energy stocks will only climb from here. Still, for PLUG stock to become a viable, stable investment, it needs to show consistent bottom-line growth. For the time being, PLUG remains more of a speculative play and less of a solid long-term investment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":342677563,"gmtCreate":1618216573852,"gmtModify":1704707619642,"author":{"id":"3563360832458910","authorId":"3563360832458910","name":"Rhykkn","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"No mention of the retraction of their earnings for the past 4 years over irregularities.

More specifically, the administration is spending $174 billion to promote EVs and install 500,000 charging stations to create a national&nbsp;EV charging&nbsp;network.\nUnderstandably, EV stocks surged based on this announcement.\nThe green hydrogen industry needs a similar boost from Biden. During former President George W. Bush’s first term, there were talks of the first-ever hydrogen locomotive. Not only would it be excellent for the environment, but it would also help in weaning off America from dependence on foreign oil.\nUnfortunately, former President Barack Obama shifted gears and focused more on electric vehicles rather than fuel-cell technology. Time will tell what strategy Biden adopts with regards to the hydrogen fuel cell industry.\nFuel cell technology has benefits over batteries for certain vehicles, at least in forklifts. They consume less energy and take less time to recharge in comparison to batteries. Still, the savings are not massive at this point. Plus, Tesla is working on a “million-mile battery.” It should help solve the major issue that is keeping EVs from wider adoption.\nPositive Recent Developments\nSK Group, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea,made a $1.6 billion capital investment&nbsp;in Plug Power. The deal aims to build a gigafactory in Korea by 2023 to provide access to the broader Asian markets. SK Group owns roughly 9.6% of Plug Power’s outstanding share capital following the investment.\nIn January, French carmakerRenaultand Plug Power entered a 50/50 joint venture to target an over 30% share of hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Europe. The joint venture will be formed by the end of June and build a fuel cell stack and system manufacturing center in France that will offer hydrogen refueling systems.\nFinancial Performance Needs to Improve\nThe litmus test for PLUG moving forward will be its operating performance. The broader EV frenzy will continue to be a tailwind for a while. However, any company worth its salt has to prove its credentials through its financials in the long run. Unless that happens, gains will quickly evaporate with each quarterly-earnings miss.\nIn the last four quarters, it has managed to beat expectations just once. In the fourth quarter of 2020, PLUG reported&nbsp;earnings-per-share (EPS) of negative $1.12, missing analyst estimates of a&nbsp;10.4 cent loss&nbsp;by a whopping 976.9%, per Refinitiv data. On the bright side, gross billings increased 42.5% year-over-year, finishing at $337 million for the year.\nAccording to the company, the major expense was related to non-cash charges caused by the accelerated vesting of a customer’s remaining warrants. So, it is a one-time expense that is not related to its operational performance. However, even if we consider the recent dismal performance as an anomaly, the prior three quarters’ performances are also concerning.\nPlus, even though PLUG stock is trading at a discount, it’s still the most expensive of its peer group.\nPLUG Is Worth a Look\nRenewable energy stocks will only climb from here. Still, for PLUG stock to become a viable, stable investment, it needs to show consistent bottom-line growth. For the time being, PLUG remains more of a speculative play and less of a solid long-term investment.","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Plug Power Is an Excellent Short-Term Trade After Sharp Pullback</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nPlug Power Is an Excellent Short-Term Trade After Sharp Pullback\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-12 10:34 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/04/plug-power-is-an-excellent-short-term-trade-after-sharp-pullback/>InvestorPlace</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\nPresident Biden's focus on renewable energy also makes PLUG stock worth looking at\nAfter an amazing 2020,electric vehicle (EV) stock sare finally losing a bit of steam.

There are several reasons why this is happening, including, but not limited to, chip shortages, overvaluation concerns and the economy finally getting back on track.

I believe it’s the ideal time to look into PLUG stock again, considering the pullback.\nFor me, the PLUG issue has&nbsp;always been valuation. There have been wild oscillations in the stock for the last 12 months. It has a 52-week low of $3.70 per share and a 52-week high of $75.49 a pop.\nIf you managed to load up on this stock somewhere in 2019, you made a lot of money on your investment, as did several retail traders when shares started to go ballistic last year.

The major issue for PLUG stock is whether it can transform from a short-term trade to a buy-and-hold investment.\nPLUG Stock and the Future of Renewable Energy\nThe energy mix in the U.S. is changing rapidly. As a result,alternate energy stocks&nbsp;are the best ways to play this trend, albeit all the thunder has so far been reserved for EV plays like&nbsp;Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) and&nbsp;NIO(NYSE:NIO).\nPresident Joe Biden has unveiled a $2 trillion plan to strengthen the economy, rebuild infrastructure and provide millions of jobs.InvestorPlace&nbsp;Web Content Producer Sarah Smith wrote an interesting piece on&nbsp;stocks that will benefit massively&nbsp;from this announcement. More specifically, the administration is spending $174 billion to promote EVs and install 500,000 charging stations to create a national&nbsp;EV charging&nbsp;network.\nUnderstandably, EV stocks surged based on this announcement.\nThe green hydrogen industry needs a similar boost from Biden. During former President George W. Bush’s first term, there were talks of the first-ever hydrogen locomotive. Not only would it be excellent for the environment, but it would also help in weaning off America from dependence on foreign oil.\nUnfortunately, former President Barack Obama shifted gears and focused more on electric vehicles rather than fuel-cell technology. Time will tell what strategy Biden adopts with regards to the hydrogen fuel cell industry.\nFuel cell technology has benefits over batteries for certain vehicles, at least in forklifts. They consume less energy and take less time to recharge in comparison to batteries. Still, the savings are not massive at this point. Plus, Tesla is working on a “million-mile battery.” It should help solve the major issue that is keeping EVs from wider adoption.\nPositive Recent Developments\nSK Group, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea,made a $1.6 billion capital investment&nbsp;in Plug Power. The deal aims to build a gigafactory in Korea by 2023 to provide access to the broader Asian markets. SK Group owns roughly 9.6% of Plug Power’s outstanding share capital following the investment.\nIn January, French carmakerRenaultand Plug Power entered a 50/50 joint venture to target an over 30% share of hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Europe. The joint venture will be formed by the end of June and build a fuel cell stack and system manufacturing center in France that will offer hydrogen refueling systems.\nFinancial Performance Needs to Improve\nThe litmus test for PLUG moving forward will be its operating performance. The broader EV frenzy will continue to be a tailwind for a while. However, any company worth its salt has to prove its credentials through its financials in the long run.

There are several reasons why this is happening, including, but not limited to, chip shortages, overvaluation concerns and the economy finally getting back on track. In the midst of all this, hydrogen fuel play Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) is down nearly 16% in the past month. I believe it’s the ideal time to look into PLUG stock again, considering the pullback.\nFor me, the PLUG issue has always been valuation. There have been wild oscillations in the stock for the last 12 months. It has a 52-week low of $3.70 per share and a 52-week high of $75.49 a pop.\nIf you managed to load up on this stock somewhere in 2019, you made a lot of money on your investment, as did several retail traders when shares started to go ballistic last year. Eventually, as they say, all good things have to come to an end. When markets started to get shaky, retail investors cashed out, taking profits and investing them elsewhere.\nHaving said that, $30 is the floor price for this one. It will continue to consolidate around this price and then break out upward. The major issue for PLUG stock is whether it can transform from a short-term trade to a buy-and-hold investment.\nPLUG Stock and the Future of Renewable Energy\nThe energy mix in the U.S. is changing rapidly. As a result,alternate energy stocks are the best ways to play this trend, albeit all the thunder has so far been reserved for EV plays like Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) and NIO(NYSE:NIO).\nPresident Joe Biden has unveiled a $2 trillion plan to strengthen the economy, rebuild infrastructure and provide millions of jobs.InvestorPlace Web Content Producer Sarah Smith wrote an interesting piece on stocks that will benefit massively from this announcement. More specifically, the administration is spending $174 billion to promote EVs and install 500,000 charging stations to create a national EV charging network.\nUnderstandably, EV stocks surged based on this announcement.\nThe green hydrogen industry needs a similar boost from Biden. During former President George W. Bush’s first term, there were talks of the first-ever hydrogen locomotive. Not only would it be excellent for the environment, but it would also help in weaning off America from dependence on foreign oil.\nUnfortunately, former President Barack Obama shifted gears and focused more on electric vehicles rather than fuel-cell technology. Time will tell what strategy Biden adopts with regards to the hydrogen fuel cell industry.\nFuel cell technology has benefits over batteries for certain vehicles, at least in forklifts. They consume less energy and take less time to recharge in comparison to batteries. Still, the savings are not massive at this point. Plus, Tesla is working on a “million-mile battery.” It should help solve the major issue that is keeping EVs from wider adoption.\nPositive Recent Developments\nSK Group, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea,made a $1.6 billion capital investment in Plug Power. The deal aims to build a gigafactory in Korea by 2023 to provide access to the broader Asian markets. SK Group owns roughly 9.6% of Plug Power’s outstanding share capital following the investment.\nIn January, French carmakerRenaultand Plug Power entered a 50/50 joint venture to target an over 30% share of hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Europe. The joint venture will be formed by the end of June and build a fuel cell stack and system manufacturing center in France that will offer hydrogen refueling systems.\nFinancial Performance Needs to Improve\nThe litmus test for PLUG moving forward will be its operating performance. The broader EV frenzy will continue to be a tailwind for a while. However, any company worth its salt has to prove its credentials through its financials in the long run. Unless that happens, gains will quickly evaporate with each quarterly-earnings miss.\nIn the last four quarters, it has managed to beat expectations just once. In the fourth quarter of 2020, PLUG reported earnings-per-share (EPS) of negative $1.12, missing analyst estimates of a 10.4 cent loss by a whopping 976.9%, per Refinitiv data. On the bright side, gross billings increased 42.5% year-over-year, finishing at $337 million for the year.\nAccording to the company, the major expense was related to non-cash charges caused by the accelerated vesting of a customer’s remaining warrants. So, it is a one-time expense that is not related to its operational performance. However, even if we consider the recent dismal performance as an anomaly, the prior three quarters’ performances are also concerning.\nPlus, even though PLUG stock is trading at a discount, it’s still the most expensive of its peer group.\nPLUG Is Worth a Look\nRenewable energy stocks will only climb from here. Still, for PLUG stock to become a viable, stable investment, it needs to show consistent bottom-line growth. For the time being, PLUG remains more of a speculative play and less of a solid long-term investment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":4093699,"gmtCreate":1619011735147,"gmtModify":1680784976035,"authorId":3574321920996186,"author":{"id":3574321920996186,"authorId":3574321920996186,"name":"onezero","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/78a6fcdcf896cad792f2b119c43dbff5","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":342863857,"type":1,"supId":4013019,"prevId":0,"content":"broke","text":"broke","html":"broke"},{"id":4036179,"gmtCreate":1618416173674,"gmtModify":1680784068354,"authorId":3574321920996186,"author":{"id":3574321920996186,"authorId":3574321920996186,"name":"onezero","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/78a6fcdcf896cad792f2b119c43dbff5","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":342863857,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"no more bullets:(","text":"no more bullets:(","html":"no more bullets:("},{"id":4013019,"gmtCreate":1618200102843,"gmtModify":1680783712205,"authorId":3562707747643111,"author":{"id":3562707747643111,"authorId":3562707747643111,"name":"ValAly","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9d97b7d80605b322b36bcb7e5b0dff4f","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":342863857,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Buy buy!!

The major issue for PLUG stock is whether it can transform from a short-term trade to a buy-and-hold investment.\nPLUG Stock and the Future of Renewable Energy\nThe energy mix in the U.S. is changing rapidly. As a result,alternate energy stocks&nbsp;are the best ways to play this trend, albeit all the thunder has so far been reserved for EV plays like&nbsp;Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) and&nbsp;NIO(NYSE:NIO).\nPresident Joe Biden has unveiled a $2 trillion plan to strengthen the economy, rebuild infrastructure and provide millions of jobs.InvestorPlace&nbsp;Web Content Producer Sarah Smith wrote an interesting piece on&nbsp;stocks that will benefit massively&nbsp;from this announcement. More specifically, the administration is spending $174 billion to promote EVs and install 500,000 charging stations to create a national&nbsp;EV charging&nbsp;network.\nUnderstandably, EV stocks surged based on this announcement.\nThe green hydrogen industry needs a similar boost from Biden. During former President George W. Bush’s first term, there were talks of the first-ever hydrogen locomotive. Not only would it be excellent for the environment, but it would also help in weaning off America from dependence on foreign oil.\nUnfortunately, former President Barack Obama shifted gears and focused more on electric vehicles rather than fuel-cell technology. Time will tell what strategy Biden adopts with regards to the hydrogen fuel cell industry.\nFuel cell technology has benefits over batteries for certain vehicles, at least in forklifts. They consume less energy and take less time to recharge in comparison to batteries. Still, the savings are not massive at this point. Plus, Tesla is working on a “million-mile battery.” It should help solve the major issue that is keeping EVs from wider adoption.\nPositive Recent Developments\nSK Group, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea,made a $1.6 billion capital investment&nbsp;in Plug Power. The deal aims to build a gigafactory in Korea by 2023 to provide access to the broader Asian markets. SK Group owns roughly 9.6% of Plug Power’s outstanding share capital following the investment.\nIn January, French carmakerRenaultand Plug Power entered a 50/50 joint venture to target an over 30% share of hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Europe. The joint venture will be formed by the end of June and build a fuel cell stack and system manufacturing center in France that will offer hydrogen refueling systems.\nFinancial Performance Needs to Improve\nThe litmus test for PLUG moving forward will be its operating performance. The broader EV frenzy will continue to be a tailwind for a while. However, any company worth its salt has to prove its credentials through its financials in the long run. Unless that happens, gains will quickly evaporate with each quarterly-earnings miss.\nIn the last four quarters, it has managed to beat expectations just once. In the fourth quarter of 2020, PLUG reported&nbsp;earnings-per-share (EPS) of negative $1.12, missing analyst estimates of a&nbsp;10.4 cent loss&nbsp;by a whopping 976.9%, per Refinitiv data. On the bright side, gross billings increased 42.5% year-over-year, finishing at $337 million for the year.\nAccording to the company, the major expense was related to non-cash charges caused by the accelerated vesting of a customer’s remaining warrants. So, it is a one-time expense that is not related to its operational performance.

It has a 52-week low of $3.70 per share and a 52-week high of $75.49 a pop.\nIf you managed to load up on this stock somewhere in 2019, you made a lot of money on your investment, as did several retail traders when shares started to go ballistic last year. Eventually, as they say, all good things have to come to an end. When markets started to get shaky, retail investors cashed out, taking profits and investing them elsewhere.\nHaving said that, $30 is the floor price for this one. It will continue to consolidate around this price and then break out upward. The major issue for PLUG stock is whether it can transform from a short-term trade to a buy-and-hold investment.\nPLUG Stock and the Future of Renewable Energy\nThe energy mix in the U.S. is changing rapidly. As a result,alternate energy stocks are the best ways to play this trend, albeit all the thunder has so far been reserved for EV plays like Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) and NIO(NYSE:NIO).\nPresident Joe Biden has unveiled a $2 trillion plan to strengthen the economy, rebuild infrastructure and provide millions of jobs.InvestorPlace Web Content Producer Sarah Smith wrote an interesting piece on stocks that will benefit massively from this announcement. More specifically, the administration is spending $174 billion to promote EVs and install 500,000 charging stations to create a national EV charging network.\nUnderstandably, EV stocks surged based on this announcement.\nThe green hydrogen industry needs a similar boost from Biden. During former President George W. Bush’s first term, there were talks of the first-ever hydrogen locomotive. Not only would it be excellent for the environment, but it would also help in weaning off America from dependence on foreign oil.\nUnfortunately, former President Barack Obama shifted gears and focused more on electric vehicles rather than fuel-cell technology. Time will tell what strategy Biden adopts with regards to the hydrogen fuel cell industry.\nFuel cell technology has benefits over batteries for certain vehicles, at least in forklifts. They consume less energy and take less time to recharge in comparison to batteries. Still, the savings are not massive at this point. Plus, Tesla is working on a “million-mile battery.” It should help solve the major issue that is keeping EVs from wider adoption.\nPositive Recent Developments\nSK Group, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea,made a $1.6 billion capital investment in Plug Power. The deal aims to build a gigafactory in Korea by 2023 to provide access to the broader Asian markets. SK Group owns roughly 9.6% of Plug Power’s outstanding share capital following the investment.\nIn January, French carmakerRenaultand Plug Power entered a 50/50 joint venture to target an over 30% share of hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Europe. The joint venture will be formed by the end of June and build a fuel cell stack and system manufacturing center in France that will offer hydrogen refueling systems.\nFinancial Performance Needs to Improve\nThe litmus test for PLUG moving forward will be its operating performance. The broader EV frenzy will continue to be a tailwind for a while. However, any company worth its salt has to prove its credentials through its financials in the long run. Unless that happens, gains will quickly evaporate with each quarterly-earnings miss.\nIn the last four quarters, it has managed to beat expectations just once. In the fourth quarter of 2020, PLUG reported earnings-per-share (EPS) of negative $1.12, missing analyst estimates of a 10.4 cent loss by a whopping 976.9%, per Refinitiv data. On the bright side, gross billings increased 42.5% year-over-year, finishing at $337 million for the year.\nAccording to the company, the major expense was related to non-cash charges caused by the accelerated vesting of a customer’s remaining warrants. So, it is a one-time expense that is not related to its operational performance. However, even if we consider the recent dismal performance as an anomaly, the prior three quarters’ performances are also concerning.\nPlus, even though PLUG stock is trading at a discount, it’s still the most expensive of its peer group.\nPLUG Is Worth a Look\nRenewable energy stocks will only climb from here. Still, for PLUG stock to become a viable, stable investment, it needs to show consistent bottom-line growth. For the time being, PLUG remains more of a speculative play and less of a solid long-term investment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":4022912,"gmtCreate":1618295973844,"gmtModify":1680783863783,"authorId":3560730969024945,"author":{"id":3560730969024945,"authorId":3560730969024945,"name":"ApacheFire","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dadb20729b4de235c5471810de88a90d","vip":1,"currentWearingBadge":{"badgeId":"972123088c9646f7b6091ae0662215be-3","templateUuid":"972123088c9646f7b6091ae0662215be","name":"Legendary Trader","description":"Total number of securities or futures transactions reached 300","bigImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/656db16598a0b8f21429e10d6c1cb033","smallImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/03f10910d4dd9234f9b5702a3342193a","grayImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0c767e35268feb729d50d3fa9a386c5a","redirectLinkEnabled":0,"hasAllocated":1,"isWearing":1,"stampPosition":0,"hasStamp":0,"allocationCount":1,"allocatedDate":"2021.12.21","exceedPercentage":"93.73%","individualDisplayEnabled":0,"individualDisplaySort":0,"categoryType":1100},"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":342831060,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Good!","text":"Good!","html":"Good!"},{"id":4019751,"gmtCreate":1618271153972,"gmtModify":1680783812734,"authorId":3574421311614991,"author":{"id":3574421311614991,"authorId":3574421311614991,"name":"RecceCommand","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ce47f0a0fae1264538b513ac0eda0e56","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":342831060,"type":1,"supId":4012733,"prevId":0,"content":"Done!!","text":"Done!!","html":"Done!!"},{"id":4012770,"gmtCreate":1618197475879,"gmtModify":1680783704169,"authorId":3576232257279797,"author":{"id":3576232257279797,"authorId":3576232257279797,"name":"dandan_4896","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d8b00e27a4dd6f248e38c3d78f21f188","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":342831060,"type":1,"supId":4012733,"prevId":0,"content":"The Magic Bomb -

More specifically, the administration is spending $174 billion to promote EVs and install 500,000 charging stations to create a national EV charging network.\nUnderstandably, EV stocks surged based on this announcement.\nThe green hydrogen industry needs a similar boost from Biden. During former President George W. Bush’s first term, there were talks of the first-ever hydrogen locomotive. Not only would it be excellent for the environment, but it would also help in weaning off America from dependence on foreign oil.\nUnfortunately, former President Barack Obama shifted gears and focused more on electric vehicles rather than fuel-cell technology. Time will tell what strategy Biden adopts with regards to the hydrogen fuel cell industry.\nFuel cell technology has benefits over batteries for certain vehicles, at least in forklifts. They consume less energy and take less time to recharge in comparison to batteries. Still, the savings are not massive at this point. Plus, Tesla is working on a “million-mile battery.” It should help solve the major issue that is keeping EVs from wider adoption.\nPositive Recent Developments\nSK Group, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea,made a $1.6 billion capital investment in Plug Power. The deal aims to build a gigafactory in Korea by 2023 to provide access to the broader Asian markets. SK Group owns roughly 9.6% of Plug Power’s outstanding share capital following the investment.\nIn January, French carmakerRenaultand Plug Power entered a 50/50 joint venture to target an over 30% share of hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Europe. The joint venture will be formed by the end of June and build a fuel cell stack and system manufacturing center in France that will offer hydrogen refueling systems.\nFinancial Performance Needs to Improve\nThe litmus test for PLUG moving forward will be its operating performance.

There are several reasons why this is happening, including, but not limited to, chip shortages, overvaluation concerns and the economy finally getting back on track. In the midst of all this, hydrogen fuel play&nbsp;Plug Power&nbsp;(NASDAQ:PLUG) is down nearly 16% in the past month. I believe it’s the ideal time to look into PLUG stock again, considering the pullback.\nFor me, the PLUG issue has&nbsp;always been valuation. There have been wild oscillations in the stock for the last 12 months. It has a 52-week low of $3.70 per share and a 52-week high of $75.49 a pop.\nIf you managed to load up on this stock somewhere in 2019, you made a lot of money on your investment, as did several retail traders when shares started to go ballistic last year. Eventually, as they say, all good things have to come to an end. When markets started to get shaky, retail investors cashed out, taking profits and investing them elsewhere.\nHaving said that, $30 is the floor price for this one. It will continue to consolidate around this price and then break out upward. The major issue for PLUG stock is whether it can transform from a short-term trade to a buy-and-hold investment.\nPLUG Stock and the Future of Renewable Energy\nThe energy mix in the U.S. is changing rapidly. As a result,alternate energy stocks&nbsp;are the best ways to play this trend, albeit all the thunder has so far been reserved for EV plays like&nbsp;Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) and&nbsp;NIO(NYSE:NIO).\nPresident Joe Biden has unveiled a $2 trillion plan to strengthen the economy, rebuild infrastructure and provide millions of jobs.InvestorPlace&nbsp;Web Content Producer Sarah Smith wrote an interesting piece on&nbsp;stocks that will benefit massively&nbsp;from this announcement. More specifically, the administration is spending $174 billion to promote EVs and install 500,000 charging stations to create a national&nbsp;EV charging&nbsp;network.\nUnderstandably, EV stocks surged based on this announcement.\nThe green hydrogen industry needs a similar boost from Biden. During former President George W. Bush’s first term, there were talks of the first-ever hydrogen locomotive. Not only would it be excellent for the environment, but it would also help in weaning off America from dependence on foreign oil.\nUnfortunately, former President Barack Obama shifted gears and focused more on electric vehicles rather than fuel-cell technology. Time will tell what strategy Biden adopts with regards to the hydrogen fuel cell industry.\nFuel cell technology has benefits over batteries for certain vehicles, at least in forklifts. They consume less energy and take less time to recharge in comparison to batteries. Still, the savings are not massive at this point. Plus, Tesla is working on a “million-mile battery.” It should help solve the major issue that is keeping EVs from wider adoption.\nPositive Recent Developments\nSK Group, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea,made a $1.6 billion capital investment&nbsp;in Plug Power. The deal aims to build a gigafactory in Korea by 2023 to provide access to the broader Asian markets. SK Group owns roughly 9.6% of Plug Power’s outstanding share capital following the investment.\nIn January, French carmakerRenaultand Plug Power entered a 50/50 joint venture to target an over 30% share of hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Europe. The joint venture will be formed by the end of June and build a fuel cell stack and system manufacturing center in France that will offer hydrogen refueling systems.\nFinancial Performance Needs to Improve\nThe litmus test for PLUG moving forward will be its operating performance. The broader EV frenzy will continue to be a tailwind for a while. However, any company worth its salt has to prove its credentials through its financials in the long run. Unless that happens, gains will quickly evaporate with each quarterly-earnings miss.\nIn the last four quarters, it has managed to beat expectations just once. In the fourth quarter of 2020, PLUG reported&nbsp;earnings-per-share (EPS) of negative $1.12, missing analyst estimates of a&nbsp;10.4 cent loss&nbsp;by a whopping 976.9%, per Refinitiv data. On the bright side, gross billings increased 42.5% year-over-year, finishing at $337 million for the year.\nAccording to the company, the major expense was related to non-cash charges caused by the accelerated vesting of a customer’s remaining warrants. So, it is a one-time expense that is not related to its operational performance. However, even if we consider the recent dismal performance as an anomaly, the prior three quarters’ performances are also concerning.\nPlus, even though PLUG stock is trading at a discount, it’s still the most expensive of its peer group.\nPLUG Is Worth a Look\nRenewable energy stocks will only climb from here. Still, for PLUG stock to become a viable, stable investment, it needs to show consistent bottom-line growth. For the time being, PLUG remains more of a speculative play and less of a solid long-term investment.","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Plug Power Is an Excellent Short-Term Trade After Sharp Pullback</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nPlug Power Is an Excellent Short-Term Trade After Sharp Pullback\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-12 10:34 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/04/plug-power-is-an-excellent-short-term-trade-after-sharp-pullback/>InvestorPlace</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\nPresident Biden's focus on renewable energy also makes PLUG stock worth looking at\nAfter an amazing 2020,electric vehicle (EV) stock sare finally losing a bit of steam.

There are several reasons why this is happening, including, but not limited to, chip shortages, overvaluation concerns and the economy finally getting back on track. In the midst of all this, hydrogen fuel play Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) is down nearly 16% in the past month. I believe it’s the ideal time to look into PLUG stock again, considering the pullback.\nFor me, the PLUG issue has always been valuation. There have been wild oscillations in the stock for the last 12 months. It has a 52-week low of $3.70 per share and a 52-week high of $75.49 a pop.\nIf you managed to load up on this stock somewhere in 2019, you made a lot of money on your investment, as did several retail traders when shares started to go ballistic last year. Eventually, as they say, all good things have to come to an end. When markets started to get shaky, retail investors cashed out, taking profits and investing them elsewhere.\nHaving said that, $30 is the floor price for this one. It will continue to consolidate around this price and then break out upward. The major issue for PLUG stock is whether it can transform from a short-term trade to a buy-and-hold investment.\nPLUG Stock and the Future of Renewable Energy\nThe energy mix in the U.S. is changing rapidly. As a result,alternate energy stocks are the best ways to play this trend, albeit all the thunder has so far been reserved for EV plays like Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) and NIO(NYSE:NIO).\nPresident Joe Biden has unveiled a $2 trillion plan to strengthen the economy, rebuild infrastructure and provide millions of jobs.InvestorPlace Web Content Producer Sarah Smith wrote an interesting piece on stocks that will benefit massively from this announcement. More specifically, the administration is spending $174 billion to promote EVs and install 500,000 charging stations to create a national EV charging network.\nUnderstandably, EV stocks surged based on this announcement.\nThe green hydrogen industry needs a similar boost from Biden. During former President George W. Bush’s first term, there were talks of the first-ever hydrogen locomotive. Not only would it be excellent for the environment, but it would also help in weaning off America from dependence on foreign oil.\nUnfortunately, former President Barack Obama shifted gears and focused more on electric vehicles rather than fuel-cell technology. Time will tell what strategy Biden adopts with regards to the hydrogen fuel cell industry.\nFuel cell technology has benefits over batteries for certain vehicles, at least in forklifts. They consume less energy and take less time to recharge in comparison to batteries. Still, the savings are not massive at this point. Plus, Tesla is working on a “million-mile battery.” It should help solve the major issue that is keeping EVs from wider adoption.\nPositive Recent Developments\nSK Group, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea,made a $1.6 billion capital investment in Plug Power. The deal aims to build a gigafactory in Korea by 2023 to provide access to the broader Asian markets. SK Group owns roughly 9.6% of Plug Power’s outstanding share capital following the investment.\nIn January, French carmakerRenaultand Plug Power entered a 50/50 joint venture to target an over 30% share of hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Europe. The joint venture will be formed by the end of June and build a fuel cell stack and system manufacturing center in France that will offer hydrogen refueling systems.\nFinancial Performance Needs to Improve\nThe litmus test for PLUG moving forward will be its operating performance. The broader EV frenzy will continue to be a tailwind for a while. However, any company worth its salt has to prove its credentials through its financials in the long run. Unless that happens, gains will quickly evaporate with each quarterly-earnings miss.\nIn the last four quarters, it has managed to beat expectations just once. In the fourth quarter of 2020, PLUG reported earnings-per-share (EPS) of negative $1.12, missing analyst estimates of a 10.4 cent loss by a whopping 976.9%, per Refinitiv data. On the bright side, gross billings increased 42.5% year-over-year, finishing at $337 million for the year.\nAccording to the company, the major expense was related to non-cash charges caused by the accelerated vesting of a customer’s remaining warrants. So, it is a one-time expense that is not related to its operational performance. However, even if we consider the recent dismal performance as an anomaly, the prior three quarters’ performances are also concerning.\nPlus, even though PLUG stock is trading at a discount, it’s still the most expensive of its peer group.\nPLUG Is Worth a Look\nRenewable energy stocks will only climb from here. Still, for PLUG stock to become a viable, stable investment, it needs to show consistent bottom-line growth. For the time being, PLUG remains more of a speculative play and less of a solid long-term investment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":342891675,"gmtCreate":1618195375897,"gmtModify":1704707360156,"author":{"id":"3574575782343795","authorId":"3574575782343795","name":"MrSoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c5bdec030dd49d0dabdf0b9138e4311a","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Please like and comment&nbsp;","listText":"Please like and comment&nbsp;","text":"Please like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/342891675","repostId":1108039204,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1108039204","pubTimestamp":1618194847,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1108039204?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-12 10:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Plug Power Is an Excellent Short-Term Trade After Sharp Pullback","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1108039204","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"President Biden's focus on renewable energy also makes PLUG stock worth looking at\nAfter an amazing ","content":"President Biden's focus on renewable energy also makes PLUG stock worth looking at\nAfter an amazing 2020,electric vehicle (EV) stock&nbsp;sare finally&nbsp;losing a bit of steam.

In the midst of all this, hydrogen fuel play&nbsp;Plug Power&nbsp;(NASDAQ:PLUG) is down nearly 16% in the past month. I believe it’s the ideal time to look into PLUG stock again, considering the pullback.\nFor me, the PLUG issue has&nbsp;always been valuation. There have been wild oscillations in the stock for the last 12 months. It has a 52-week low of $3.70 per share and a 52-week high of $75.49 a pop.\nIf you managed to load up on this stock somewhere in 2019, you made a lot of money on your investment, as did several retail traders when shares started to go ballistic last year. Eventually, as they say, all good things have to come to an end. When markets started to get shaky, retail investors cashed out, taking profits and investing them elsewhere.\nHaving said that, $30 is the floor price for this one. It will continue to consolidate around this price and then break out upward. The major issue for PLUG stock is whether it can transform from a short-term trade to a buy-and-hold investment.\nPLUG Stock and the Future of Renewable Energy\nThe energy mix in the U.S. is changing rapidly. As a result,alternate energy stocks&nbsp;are the best ways to play this trend, albeit all the thunder has so far been reserved for EV plays like&nbsp;Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) and&nbsp;NIO(NYSE:NIO).\nPresident Joe Biden has unveiled a $2 trillion plan to strengthen the economy, rebuild infrastructure and provide millions of jobs.InvestorPlace&nbsp;Web Content Producer Sarah Smith wrote an interesting piece on&nbsp;stocks that will benefit massively&nbsp;from this announcement. More specifically, the administration is spending $174 billion to promote EVs and install 500,000 charging stations to create a national&nbsp;EV charging&nbsp;network.\nUnderstandably, EV stocks surged based on this announcement.\nThe green hydrogen industry needs a similar boost from Biden. During former President George W. Bush’s first term, there were talks of the first-ever hydrogen locomotive. Not only would it be excellent for the environment, but it would also help in weaning off America from dependence on foreign oil.\nUnfortunately, former President Barack Obama shifted gears and focused more on electric vehicles rather than fuel-cell technology. Time will tell what strategy Biden adopts with regards to the hydrogen fuel cell industry.\nFuel cell technology has benefits over batteries for certain vehicles, at least in forklifts. They consume less energy and take less time to recharge in comparison to batteries. Still, the savings are not massive at this point. Plus, Tesla is working on a “million-mile battery.” It should help solve the major issue that is keeping EVs from wider adoption.\nPositive Recent Developments\nSK Group, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea,made a $1.6 billion capital investment&nbsp;in Plug Power. The deal aims to build a gigafactory in Korea by 2023 to provide access to the broader Asian markets. SK Group owns roughly 9.6% of Plug Power’s outstanding share capital following the investment.\nIn January, French carmakerRenaultand Plug Power entered a 50/50 joint venture to target an over 30% share of hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Europe. The joint venture will be formed by the end of June and build a fuel cell stack and system manufacturing center in France that will offer hydrogen refueling systems.\nFinancial Performance Needs to Improve\nThe litmus test for PLUG moving forward will be its operating performance. The broader EV frenzy will continue to be a tailwind for a while. However, any company worth its salt has to prove its credentials through its financials in the long run. Unless that happens, gains will quickly evaporate with each quarterly-earnings miss.\nIn the last four quarters, it has managed to beat expectations just once. In the fourth quarter of 2020, PLUG reported&nbsp;earnings-per-share (EPS) of negative $1.12, missing analyst estimates of a&nbsp;10.4 cent loss&nbsp;by a whopping 976.9%, per Refinitiv data. On the bright side, gross billings increased 42.5% year-over-year, finishing at $337 million for the year.\nAccording to the company, the major expense was related to non-cash charges caused by the accelerated vesting of a customer’s remaining warrants. So, it is a one-time expense that is not related to its operational performance. However, even if we consider the recent dismal performance as an anomaly, the prior three quarters’ performances are also concerning.\nPlus, even though PLUG stock is trading at a discount, it’s still the most expensive of its peer group.\nPLUG Is Worth a Look\nRenewable energy stocks will only climb from here. Still, for PLUG stock to become a viable, stable investment, it needs to show consistent bottom-line growth. For the time being, PLUG remains more of a speculative play and less of a solid long-term investment.","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Plug Power Is an Excellent Short-Term Trade After Sharp Pullback</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nPlug Power Is an Excellent Short-Term Trade After Sharp Pullback\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-12 10:34 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/04/plug-power-is-an-excellent-short-term-trade-after-sharp-pullback/>InvestorPlace</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\nPresident Biden's focus on renewable energy also makes PLUG stock worth looking at\nAfter an amazing 2020,electric vehicle (EV) stock sare finally losing a bit of steam.

It has a 52-week low of $3.70 per share and a 52-week high of $75.49 a pop.\nIf you managed to load up on this stock somewhere in 2019, you made a lot of money on your investment, as did several retail traders when shares started to go ballistic last year. Eventually, as they say, all good things have to come to an end. When markets started to get shaky, retail investors cashed out, taking profits and investing them elsewhere.\nHaving said that, $30 is the floor price for this one. It will continue to consolidate around this price and then break out upward. The major issue for PLUG stock is whether it can transform from a short-term trade to a buy-and-hold investment.\nPLUG Stock and the Future of Renewable Energy\nThe energy mix in the U.S. is changing rapidly. As a result,alternate energy stocks are the best ways to play this trend, albeit all the thunder has so far been reserved for EV plays like Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) and NIO(NYSE:NIO).\nPresident Joe Biden has unveiled a $2 trillion plan to strengthen the economy, rebuild infrastructure and provide millions of jobs.InvestorPlace Web Content Producer Sarah Smith wrote an interesting piece on stocks that will benefit massively from this announcement. More specifically, the administration is spending $174 billion to promote EVs and install 500,000 charging stations to create a national EV charging network.\nUnderstandably, EV stocks surged based on this announcement.\nThe green hydrogen industry needs a similar boost from Biden. During former President George W. Bush’s first term, there were talks of the first-ever hydrogen locomotive. Not only would it be excellent for the environment, but it would also help in weaning off America from dependence on foreign oil.\nUnfortunately, former President Barack Obama shifted gears and focused more on electric vehicles rather than fuel-cell technology. Time will tell what strategy Biden adopts with regards to the hydrogen fuel cell industry.\nFuel cell technology has benefits over batteries for certain vehicles, at least in forklifts. They consume less energy and take less time to recharge in comparison to batteries. Still, the savings are not massive at this point. Plus, Tesla is working on a “million-mile battery.” It should help solve the major issue that is keeping EVs from wider adoption.\nPositive Recent Developments\nSK Group, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea,made a $1.6 billion capital investment in Plug Power. The deal aims to build a gigafactory in Korea by 2023 to provide access to the broader Asian markets. SK Group owns roughly 9.6% of Plug Power’s outstanding share capital following the investment.\nIn January, French carmakerRenaultand Plug Power entered a 50/50 joint venture to target an over 30% share of hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Europe. The joint venture will be formed by the end of June and build a fuel cell stack and system manufacturing center in France that will offer hydrogen refueling systems.\nFinancial Performance Needs to Improve\nThe litmus test for PLUG moving forward will be its operating performance. The broader EV frenzy will continue to be a tailwind for a while. However, any company worth its salt has to prove its credentials through its financials in the long run. Unless that happens, gains will quickly evaporate with each quarterly-earnings miss.\nIn the last four quarters, it has managed to beat expectations just once. In the fourth quarter of 2020, PLUG reported earnings-per-share (EPS) of negative $1.12, missing analyst estimates of a 10.4 cent loss by a whopping 976.9%, per Refinitiv data. On the bright side, gross billings increased 42.5% year-over-year, finishing at $337 million for the year.\nAccording to the company, the major expense was related to non-cash charges caused by the accelerated vesting of a customer’s remaining warrants. So, it is a one-time expense that is not related to its operational performance. However, even if we consider the recent dismal performance as an anomaly, the prior three quarters’ performances are also concerning.\nPlus, even though PLUG stock is trading at a discount, it’s still the most expensive of its peer group.\nPLUG Is Worth a Look\nRenewable energy stocks will only climb from here. Still, for PLUG stock to become a viable, stable investment, it needs to show consistent bottom-line growth. For the time being, PLUG remains more of a speculative play and less of a solid long-term investment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":4012435,"gmtCreate":1618195245650,"gmtModify":1680783708655,"authorId":3573608981633568,"author":{"id":3573608981633568,"authorId":3573608981633568,"name":"KSONG","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0cac42cab0c725d4b65ec3d804892fc9","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":342804564,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Done","text":"Done","html":"Done"}],"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":38,"commentSize":18,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
