Brookfield Renewable Corporation Weighs BEPC Shake-Up After Record Cash Flow and $2.3 Billion Loss

Brookfield Renewable Corporation Weighs BEPC Shake-Up After Record Cash Flow and $2.3 Billion Loss

Brookfield Renewable Corporation is weighing a potential merger of its BEPC shares and Brookfield Renewable Partners units into a single corporate security, looking to sharpen liquidity and improve index eligibility. The company kicked off the review after BEPC posted higher first-quarter funds from operations, though it booked a $2.3 billion net loss—mostly driven by a non-cash remeasurement on exchangeable shares. Timing is key here. BEPC was set up as the corporate twin of Brookfield Renewable Partners’ limited partnership units, matching them on dividends and allowing holders to swap one-for-one into BEP. Now, if everything is rolled into a single security, the real question is whether that flexibility still justifies the split structure, especially as the group looks to raise capital, unload assets, and snap up more renewable platforms.

NextEra Energy Strikes 3,000 MW Arizona Solar Deal as Power Demand Boom Builds

NextEra Energy Resources has landed a deal to build 3,000 megawatts of fresh solar capacity for Salt River Project in Arizona, locking in another major contract as utilities across the U.S. scramble to shore up electricity supplies. The timing is key here: SRP isn’t just maintaining its current setup, but pushing for a much bigger system. The Phoenix-area public power provider says this deal helps back its target of more than doubling its power-system capacity by 2035. Plans call for new solar, natural gas, and battery storage to maintain both reliability and affordability in service.

Lithium Americas Stock Jumps As Thacker Pass Turns Into America’s Big Lithium Test

Lithium Americas Stock Jumps As Thacker Pass Turns Into America’s Big Lithium Test

Lithium Americas Corp. shares surged roughly 13% late Monday in U.S. trading, drawing investor focus back to its Thacker Pass lithium project in Nevada, which is backed by the U.S. government. The stock, listed in New York, was recently seen trading at $5.26, with volume topping 19 million shares. Why does 2026 stand out? That’s the year Thacker Pass needs to prove it can shift from policy promise to shovels in the ground. Last week, Wedbush started covering Lithium Americas, assigning a Neutral rating and setting the price target at $8. Analyst Sam Brandeis steps in for Dan Ives, with the firm describing fiscal 2026 as the “key year” for the project’s construction phase and highlighting execution risks before production ever begins.

Bloom Energy Stock Faces a Big Test as BlackRock’s 8.2% Stake Meets Oracle AI Power Bet

BlackRock has taken a passive 8.2% stake in Bloom Energy Corporation, according to an amended ownership filing dated April 24.

Investors will be tuned in less for the actual quarterly figures and more for what management has to say on Oracle, how quickly backlog is being converted, and the trajectory of power demand out of AI data centers.

Plug Power Stock Slips Again: Why PLUG’s May Earnings Test Now Matters

Plug Power Stock Slips Again: Why PLUG’s May Earnings Test Now Matters

Shares of Plug Power Inc. slipped 1.26% to finish at $3.14 on Friday, notching a third straight loss even as the Nasdaq posted gains. The hydrogen company’s stock remains sharply lower—down 31.44% from its 52-week peak of $4.58, according to MarketWatch. Investors are watching to see if the margin improvements can stick. That’s relevant now because Plug's rebound from its early-year lows pushed the focus away from survival funding. The question ahead: not so much if hydrogen equipment will sell, but if the company can convert those orders—along with asset sales and tighter costs—into a cash flow that actually holds up.

Plug Power Stock Watch: Louisiana Hydrogen Plant Hits 90% Availability As Cash Burn Test Looms

Plug Power Inc.’s hydrogen facility in St. Gabriel, Louisiana—part of its joint venture with Olin—generated 448.3 metric tons of liquid hydrogen in the first quarter, with average availability clocking in at 90%. The company, pushing to demonstrate its network’s scalability, also reported filling 101 trailers during the period, 53 of those in March alone. Hydrogen supply and plant uptime are now key to Plug’s margins. Following a year of cutting costs, raising prices, and making network upgrades through its Project Quantum Leap program, the company posted a positive gross margin in the fourth quarter — that’s profit after direct production and service expenses.

SolarEdge Stock Jumps as Bigger Battery Bet Puts Its Turnaround to the Test

SolarEdge Stock Jumps as Bigger Battery Bet Puts Its Turnaround to the Test

SolarEdge Technologies Inc surged over 11% Thursday, closing at $47.36. That move bumped the solar equipment maker’s valuation to around $2.8 billion, outstripping gains in Enphase Energy, First Solar, and Sunrun—those rose just 2% to 4%. Late-day market data put SolarEdge’s trading volume above 5.6 million shares. This shift is significant for SolarEdge, which aims to prove it can turn a sector slump into an actual rebound. Revenue for 2025 landed at $1.18 billion, marking a 31% jump. Even so, a GAAP net loss of $405.4 million still weighed on the bottom line. Free cash flow hit $76.9 million—money available after capital expenses. Back in February, Chief Executive Shuki Nir declared the company was “shifting decisively to offense.”

Tesla’s U.S. Solar Bet Faces China Export Threat as Energy Arm Becomes More Profitable Than Cars

Tesla’s U.S. Solar Bet Faces China Export Threat as Energy Arm Becomes More Profitable Than Cars

China is considering restricting exports of high-end solar-manufacturing equipment to the U.S., a step that could complicate Tesla Inc’s local production ambitions as the company moves deeper into non-EV sectors. People familiar with the discussions say the talks remain early and no decision has been finalized. The potential export controls could put fresh pressure on U.S. firms such as Tesla looking to build or expand new plants. Tesla's energy division is stepping up just as the core car business hits a rough patch. According to Reuters, the company’s storage segment is on track for gross margins of around 30% in 2025. That’s double the roughly 15% margin for the auto side, not counting regulatory credits, after U.S. EV sales slid over 25% in the last six months when the $7,500 federal tax credit ended.

Plug Power Stock Climbs After 2026 Profit Push, Up to $200M Cost-Cut Plan

Plug Power Stock Climbs After 2026 Profit Push, Up to $200M Cost-Cut Plan

Plug Power shares moved higher Thursday, climbing 2.5% to $2.715 as of 3:53 p.m. EDT, after the hydrogen equipment firm reiterated its ambition to hit positive EBITDAS by the end of 2026 during a Canada investor roadshow. The updated presentation, shared with investors, maintained the company's target for the profit metric, which strips out interest, tax, depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation. Plug's deck also highlighted $150 million to $200 million in anticipated savings from its Project Quantum Leap initiative. The update lands at a key moment for Plug, which is still working to prove that improved margins can actually drive more reliable cash flows. Back in March, the company reported $368.5 million in unrestricted cash at the end of 2025, and it managed to reduce net cash used in operations to $535.8 million—down from $728.6 million the previous year. Plug also expects to bring in over $275 million from asset sales to keep operations funded through 2026.

Plug Power Stock Rises as Quebec Contract Puts 2026 Turnaround Back in Focus

Plug Power Stock Rises as Quebec Contract Puts 2026 Turnaround Back in Focus

Plug Power drew attention again Monday—shares were up roughly 1.5% ahead of the bell, after the hydrogen equipment firm secured a major electrolyzer contract in Quebec, one of its biggest so far. As of 8:44 a.m. EDT, premarket quotes put the stock at $2.445, compared to its $2.41 close on April 2, according to MarketWatch. This is a key test for Plug, which is betting that hefty industrial contracts can help fuel a recovery under new CEO Jose Luis Crespo. On March 2, the company reaffirmed its target for positive EBITDAS—a profitability metric—by the end of 2026, after booking a positive gross margin in the fourth quarter. Crespo has been clear: “disciplined execution” and capital efficiency top his agenda.

Strait of Hormuz Crisis Hits Asia Hard as Fuel Rationing Spreads and Renewables Gain

Strait of Hormuz Crisis Hits Asia Hard as Fuel Rationing Spreads and Renewables Gain

Monday saw Asian officials expand emergency measures, with fuel and shipping prices staying elevated amid the ongoing Strait of Hormuz disruption. A ceasefire proposal remained under discussion between Washington and Tehran, raising hopes for the vital route to reopen. South Korea, weighing its options, signaled a willingness to tolerate limited shipping risk as it scrambles to secure alternative crude supplies and speed up renewable energy efforts. The stakes are high for Asia, which takes in roughly 80% of oil exports passing through Hormuz. Fresh manufacturing numbers are already flagging slower momentum in Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan, and the Philippines. The Bank of Japan, via Osaka branch manager Kazuhiro Masaki, cautioned the risks could spread if the conflict drags on, saying it’s “not just about the impact on prices but availability of goods.”

Plug Power Stock Jumps After Hy2gen Picks It for 275-MW Quebec Hydrogen Project

That’s one of the largest deals so far for the company’s electrolyzer business. Plug shares climbed roughly 7%, trading at $2.41 during the morning session. The award arrives as Plug works to turn commercial success into improved margins and cash flow. Back in March, the company reported a positive gross margin for the fourth quarter, sticking with its goal of hitting positive EBITDAS by the fourth quarter of 2026—a metric that strips out interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock compensation.
