  • ITM Power Shares Soar 157% in 2026 Amid Green Hydrogen Deals
    May 1, 2026, 4:06 AM EDT. ITM Power (LSE: ITM), a green hydrogen specialist, has seen its shares rise sharply by 157% in 2026, paralleling past gains made by Rolls-Royce. The jump follows a pivotal agreement with European defence firm Rheinmetall to deploy hundreds of green hydrogen plants across Europe, aiming to enhance energy resilience. Additional contracts with MorGen Energy, Octopus Energy Generation, and projects in Australia and Canada have also boosted momentum. Unlike Rolls-Royce, ITM Power remains unprofitable, with no expected near-term earnings, which may temper institutional investor interest. Moreover, ITM Power's valuation is high, with a price-to-sales ratio around 38, contrasting Rolls-Royce's once low valuation under one. Despite risks, ITM Power is attracting attention as a notable player in clean energy investment.
