Plug Power stock ends 2025 higher after analyst upgrade — with a key share-vote ahead
NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 19:30 ET — Market closed Plug Power shares ended the year on a firmer note after Clear Street upgraded the hydrogen fuel-cell maker, even as U.S. equity markets went dark on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. TipRanks+1 The upgrade matters heading into the first trading day of 2026 because Plug’s stock has been volatile and investors remain focused on financing risk at cash-hungry clean-energy names, where new share issuance can quickly dilute existing holders. TipRanks+1 It also lands as shareholders head toward a late-January vote that could expand Plug’s ability to issue stock.
