Plug Power Shares Decline Amid Q2 Results, but Hydrogen Legislation Sparks Hope
Plug Power's stock dipped following its second-quarter earnings report, yet potential catalysts loom on the horizon. The recent passage of U.S. budget reconciliation legislation—dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill"—includes substantial support for the hydrogen industry, raising investor Optimism about a future rebound.
The company, originally known for hydrogen fuel cells in material-handling equipment, has struggled with negative margins due to selling hydrogen at a loss. Its pivot to building proprietary hydrogen plants—now totaling three with 40 tons/day capacity—aims to reverse this trend. Partnerships could accelerate its transformation.
