Plug Power Shares Fall 4.6% Ahead of July 31 Cash Deadline

Shares of Plug Power Inc. climbed 3.0% on Friday, as the company awaits imminent cash inflows, which remain a key near-term hurdle. Anticipated deals are expected to fund about half of the company’s operating cash needs for the first quarter.

Plug Power stock bounced Tuesday after investors took a fresh look at two asset sales that could bring in over $80 million soon. Most of that—around 80%—hinges on a Texas deal and collateral coming free, but the buyer still has an inspection window to back out. The company needs the cash, but the timeline to close is short.

Plug Power Inc. shed roughly $570 million in market value last week, using Friday's market cap and keeping the share count steady. This came despite the company announcing a big electrolyzer order out of Australia.

By 12:49 p.m. EDT, volume hit 33.7 million shares.

Plug Power Inc. slipped in mid-afternoon Wednesday, but the focus was on the balance sheet. Trading volume in Plug shares was close to matching the scale of a forthcoming asset sale that investors have pegged as a key liquidity signpost.
