Plug Power's Rebound
Plug Power announced that concerns about its viability as a “going concern” have been resolved following a recent update in a 10-K filing and press release. Despite the positive news, the stock took a hit on Friday due to disappointing results for 2023 that fell short of analysts’ expectations.
Financial Struggles Addressed
In November, Plug Power issued a warning regarding its financial standing, attributing challenges to "unprecedented supply issues within the hydrogen network in North America." However, the company expressed confidence in its current working capital, cash position, and prospects for ongoing operations for at least the next 12 months.
Market Reaction
Shares of Plug Power fell by 7.7% in premarket trading on Friday, settling at $3.26. The stock has experienced a significant decline of 74% over the past year.
