New York, March 2, 2026, 06:37 EST — Premarket
- Plug Power shares slipped roughly 4% in early premarket trading, adding to Friday’s steep decline.
- The company’s fourth-quarter and full-year report lands later Monday, and investors are on edge ahead of the update.
- Investors are watching liquidity moves closely, with a $132.5 million asset-sale agreement just announced now grabbing attention.
Plug Power (PLUG) dropped roughly 4% to $1.72 ahead of the bell Monday. The hydrogen fuel-cell company had ended Friday’s session down 6.3%, closing at $1.79.
Plug is preparing to deliver its fourth-quarter and full-year report, with the results call locked in for 4:30 p.m. ET, the investor relations site shows.
The timing isn’t ideal for Plug, as traders are zeroed in on the company’s liquidity—basically, how much cash it can actually tap—and how long it can keep paying its bills before needing to raise more. On Feb. 26, Plug announced a definitive deal with Stream Data Centers, projecting at least $132.5 million in gross proceeds from selling off its stake in the Project Gateway site in New York. The sale is part of a bigger push the company says should boost liquidity by over $275 million. “This definitive agreement reflects Plug’s disciplined approach to capital management and strategic execution,” Plug president and chief revenue officer Jose Luis Crespo said. ir.plugpower.com
Stocks across the board struggled. Before the open, U.S. stock index futures slipped roughly 1% as oil prices surged and traders moved toward safe-haven assets amid fresh turmoil in the Middle East, according to Reuters. “There is plenty of scope for more downside should the conflict widen,” said Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at IG.

Shares of Plug closed Friday roughly 61% under their 52-week peak of $4.58 from October, according to MarketWatch data, while trading volume topped the 50-day average.
Plug’s latest numbers on Monday aren’t just about revenue. Wall Street wants details on how quickly it’s burning through cash, progress on trimming expenses, and signs it can shrink losses without stalling its growth engine.
The Stream deal marks a test case for Plug, which called it an initial move in its broader effort to monetize assets and unlock restricted cash—funds reserved for designated purposes. The company is also looking to cut maintenance costs, with hydrogen production and fuel cell rollouts still front and center.
But there’s a clear risk: deals to sell assets might get delayed or fall through. If earnings disappoint, concerns about the pace of cash burn could resurface—particularly with investors eyeing the potential for more financing or dilution.
