    June 28, 2026, 11:33 AM EDT. Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:PLUG) stock declined for the fifth consecutive day, closing at $2.54 on June 26, down about 10.9% over the streak and 44.54% below its 52-week high. Trading volume surged to 95.5 million shares, exceeding the 50-day average of 75.7 million, amid concerns over a looming June 30 deadline for a crucial $132.5 million-$142 million asset sale. This sale, from the Project Gateway site in New York, aims to bolster liquidity by over $275 million as the company faces cash pressures after burning $150 million in operating cash in Q1. Despite recent progress with a 5 MW PEM electrolyzer project in Denmark and improving first-quarter revenue and margins, investor caution prevails ahead of the cash event.
