Plug Power narrows Q2 loss, lifts FY26 outlook on 1GW electrolyser deal
  • Plug Power's Q2 revenue rose 9% sequentially and gross margin improved to near breakeven, which the company attributed to better plant utilization, production efficiency and hydrogen network optimization.
  • Adjusted Q2 EPS loss narrowed to ($0.07) from ($0.18) a year earlier, and operating expenses fell about 50% year over year on cost discipline and asset monetization.
  • Plug raised FY26 revenue growth guidance to 15%-16%, targets positive EBITDAS in Q4 2026, and aims to strengthen liquidity through asset monetization.
  • GenDrive fuel cell unit deployments in material handling rose 125% year over year, supporting revenue growth and recurring revenue.
  • Plug signed a 280MW electrolyser supply deal for Arcadia eFuels' ENDOR e-SAF project at the Port of Vordingborg, Denmark, which will run GenEco electrolysers to produce roughly 110 tonnes of renewable hydrogen a day.
  • A strategic cooperation agreement makes Plug the preferred electrolyser supplier for four more Arcadia eFuels projects in Europe and the Americas, representing more than 1GW of potential capacity; deliveries start only once ENDOR issues notice to proceed after a final investment decision.
  • The EU's ReFuelEU Aviation rules require a rising sustainable aviation fuel blend, from 2% in 2025 to 6% in 2030 and 70% by 2050, with a sub-target reserved for synthetic fuels from 2030.
  • The deal does not resolve Plug Power's ongoing losses and tight liquidity, and its financial impact depends on ENDOR reaching final investment decision and converting to recognized revenue.
