Liquidity Boost
Separately, Plug on Monday announced two transactions with Stream US Data Centers that are expected to provide more than $80 million in near-term liquidity as part of its broader plan to improve liquidity by more than $275 million.
The company signed a definitive agreement to sell its Graham, Texas, project for up to $76.5 million. Including the expected release of about $14 million in cash collateral, the transaction could generate approximately $90.5 million in total liquidity. The deal is expected to close around July 31, subject to customary conditions.
Plug also amended its agreement for the New York Gateway Project. Stream will release a $6.5 million escrow deposit and provide a new $10 million land purchase deposit. The land sale will close first, while the closing for non-land assets has been extended to March 31, 2027, pending regulatory approvals. The purchase price remains $142 million.
As of June 30, 2026, Plug held about $162 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents before proceeds from the new transactions. The company said the deals are part of its infrastructure optimization strategy and continue to support its 2026 liquidity and cash flow goals.
Plug Power Technical Analysis
The longer-term trend remains weak. Plug Power is trading 15.6% below its 20-day simple moving average of $2.63 and 29.8% below its 50-day simple moving average of $3.16. The stock is also 15.6% below its 200-day simple moving average of $2.63, suggesting buyers have not regained control.
However, momentum indicators show the stock may be stretched to the downside. The relative strength index stands at 28.33. A reading below 30 is generally considered oversold and can indicate that selling pressure is becoming exhausted, although it does not guarantee a rebound.
The moving averages continue to favor the bears. The 20-day average remains below the 50-day average, reflecting weak near-term momentum. At the same time, the 50-day average remains above the 200-day average, leaving a longer-term golden cross intact if the stock can recover.
The next key support level is around $2.00, a round-number price that could attract buying interest if the decline continues.
Earnings Outlook
The company’s next estimated earnings report is due on August 10. Analysts expect a loss of 8 cents per share on revenue of $168.26 million, compared with a loss of 20 cents per share on revenue of $173.97 million a year earlier.
Wall Street has a consensus Hold rating on the stock with an average price forecast of $3.22. Recent analyst actions include Susquehanna lowering its price forecast to $2.50 while maintaining a Neutral rating, Morgan Stanley raising its price forecast to $1.65 while keeping an Underweight rating, and Wells Fargo raising its price forecast to $2.50 while maintaining an Equal-Weight rating.
Plug Power is also a notable holding in several clean energy exchange-traded funds, including the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NASDAQ:ICLN), the SPDR S&P Kensho Clean Power ETF (NYSE:CNRG) and the ALPS Clean Energy ETF (NYSE:ACES). Fund flows into or out of these ETFs can influence demand for the stock.
