On August 11, Plug Power rose 9.95% in after-hours trading, trading at $2.31/share, with turnover of $7.06 million. The surge was driven by the company's Q2 earnings report, which beat analyst expectations on both top and bottom lines.
Plug Power reported Q2 adjusted loss per share of $0.07, beating the consensus estimate of $0.08 by 12.5%. Revenue came in at $178.3 million, surpassing the $169.4 million estimate. Compared with a loss of $0.18 per share in the year-ago quarter, the loss narrowed approximately 61%, extending an improvement streak for a third consecutive quarter.
The results build on a strong Q1 in which revenue grew 22% year-over-year and electrolyzer revenue surged 343%. The sustained margin improvement and loss reduction have bolstered market confidence in management's target of achieving positive EBITDA by year-end. Additionally, recent strategic transactions with Stream Data Centers targeting over $275 million in liquidity improvement and a 50 MW electrolyzer order from ORICA in Australia further support the company's growth trajectory.
