This Plug Power Analyst Expects Break-Even Margins By This Year End: Here's Why

Northland Capital Markets analyst Abhishek Sinha upgraded Plug Power Inc PLUG to Outperform from Market Perform and revised up the price target to $22.

The analyst sees clear prospects for cash flow generation, and accelerating momentum on recent deal wins.

Sinha is confident that the company will achieve a break-even margin by the end of the year and generate cash flow next year, with the successful commissioning of several plants and project announcements in Europe.

The analyst expects PLUG to generate higher revenue from its electrolyzer business and boost margins.

Yesterday, the company secured a new electrolyzer deal in Europe.

The analyst sees the deal as an additive to PLUG’s guidance.

For 2024, Sinha expects revenues of $2.083 billion, an adjusted EBITDA of $194.2 million, and an EPS loss of $(0.73) in 2024.
