FuelCell Energy vykázala ve 3. čtvrtletí hrubou ztrátu 24,5 mil. USD, meziročně výrazně vyšší kvůli nákladům spojeným s Fit Energy. Akcie po zveřejnění klesly o 15,7 %.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On September 2, 2026, investors in FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL) saw the price of their shares fall $2.68 (-15.7%) after the company reported a massive year-over-year Q3 gross loss, mostly attributable to its agreement to supply its products to Fit Energy.
The revelations have prompted national shareholders rights firm Hagens Berman to open an investigation into whether FuelCell has been sufficiently transparent about the economics of its Fit Energy and, if not, whether the company may have violated the U.S. securities laws.
The firm encourages FuelCell investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now. Persons with knowledge who may be able to assist the investigation are invited to contact the firm’s attorneys.

FuelCell Energy (FCEL) Investigation
On June 23, 2026, FuelCell announced that it and Fit Energy entered into a capital equipment purchase agreement (“CEPA”) under which Fit would purchase FuelCell’s carbonate fuel cell block systems whose total aggregate generating capacity was up to 380 megawatts (“MW”) across four phases.
CEO Jason Few said, “[t]his agreement further validates our decision to scale our operations to 500 MW, preserving our ability to serve a broad and growing pipeline of customers.”
Then, on or about July 7, 2026 (three weeks before its quarter ended on July 31, 2026), FuelCell issued about 12 million shares at $21 per share. While the offering documents disclosed the structure and terms under the CEPA, they may not have been sufficiently transparent about financial pressures already occurring.
Investors learned more on September 2, 2026, when FuelCell reported a Q3 2026 gross loss of $24.5 million compared to the year earlier quarter gross loss of $5.1 million. The company blamed the 380% increase on $17 million of charges “recorded in connection with Phase 0 of our capital equipment purchase agreement, or CEPA with Fit Energy, due to the fact that our current product costs and manufacturing overhead exceed the contractual pricing established under that agreement.”
The market swiftly reacted, sending the price of FuelCell shares down $2.68 (-15.7%) to close at $14.40, about 31% lower than the offering price.
“We’re focused on whether FuelCell may have misled investors about its product costs and overhead, and if so, whether there may be an adverse impact on Fit Energy’s decisions to proceed with the remaining phases of the CEPA,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.

FuelCell Energy oznámila, že hrubá ztráta se v posledním čtvrtletí téměř zpětinásobila na 24,5 milionu USD. Zároveň uvedla backlog ve výši 3,6 miliardy USD a cíl pozitivního adjusted EBITDA ve 4. čtvrtletí 2027.
FuelCell Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:FCEL) shares are trading marginally higher Friday morning as traders continue to weigh the company’s recent earnings results. Here’s what investors need to know.
FuelCell Energy stock is gaining positive traction. Why are FCEL shares climbing? What Is FuelCell Energy’s Current Catalyst?FuelCell Energy’s latest quarter added fresh fundamental friction after gross loss widened nearly fivefold to $24.5 million, including $17 million in charges tied to the initial phase of its FIT Energy agreement. The company also flagged operational headwinds, with the 7.4-megawatt Groton Project at a U.S. Navy submarine base offline for an equipment upgrade.
FuelCell Energy’s call also put hard dates on its scale-up plan, targeting a Torrington, Connecticut production rate of 100 megawatts by October 2026 and 500 megawatts by June 2028. Management reiterated the fourth-quarter 2027 goal for positive adjusted EBITDA but tied it directly to converting pipeline into backlog and scaling efficiently.
On the strategic side, FuelCell Energy highlighted its first order for Energy Blocks for data center applications and said backlog rose to $3.6 billion, including $2.4 billion in awarded capacity backlog. Management also reiterated a target to reach positive adjusted EBITDA by fourth-quarter 2027, contingent on scaling production and converting pipeline into backlog.
FCEL Stock: Critical Levels To WatchFrom a trend perspective, FCEL is still in "repair mode" after the April break below support, and the stock remains stretched to the downside versus its shorter-term trend gauges. At $14.58, shares are trading 24.2% below the 20-day SMA ($19.18) and 32% below the 50-day SMA ($21.40), which typically keeps rallies more prone to selling until those averages start flattening and price can reclaim them.
The bigger-picture trend is more mixed: FCEL is 8.7% above its 200-day SMA ($13.38), but still below the 200-day EMA ($15.25), putting the stock right around a key long-term "line in the sand" zone. That tension matters because the 50-day SMA remains above the 200-day SMA (a golden cross that occurred in October 2025), yet the shorter-term 20-day SMA is below the 50-day SMA, signaling the near-term trend is still pointed down even if the longer-term structure hasn’t fully broken.
Momentum also leans cautious: MACD is below its signal line and the histogram is negative, which points to fading upside pressure versus the prior upswing. In plain terms, when MACD sits below its signal line, it often means buyers are losing control unless the stock can re-accelerate and flip that relationship back in its favor.
Key Support: $11.50 — a nearby level where buyers previously stepped in, and a zone that sits well above the $3.81 52-week low but below the 200-day SMA ($13.38), making it a key "must-hold" area if the pullback deepens. FCEL Stock Price Action Friday MorningFCEL Stock Price Activity: FuelCell Energy shares were up 0.27% at $14.71 on Friday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

FuelCell Energy přesouvá zaměření z 10GW pipeline datových center na pevné zákaznické závazky. Cílí na kladné upravené EBITDA ve 4. čtvrtletí fiskálního roku 2027.
Key Takeaways FCEL is shifting its data center focus from a 10 GW proposal pipeline toward firm customer commitments.FuelCell targets a 100 MW annualized production rate in October 2026 as Torrington capacity ramps.FCEL targets positive adjusted EBITDA in fiscal Q4 2027, requiring at least 100 MW of production volume. FuelCell Energy, Inc. (FCEL - Free Report) used its fiscal third-quarter 2026 earnings call to emphasize movement from a large data center pipeline toward customer commitments, while acknowledging pressure from current manufacturing economics.
President, CEO and director Jason Few and executive vice president, CFO and treasurer Michael Bishop tied progress to backlog conversion, production scaling and cost reduction, with a new adjusted EBITDA profitability target providing a clearer execution benchmark.
Fiscal third-quarter revenues were $33 million, below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $39.1 million. The loss of 64 cents per share was wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a 32-cent loss.
FCEL Converts Data Center Demand Into CommitmentsFuelCell’s CEO said fiscal 2026 year-to-date proposals reached roughly 10 gigawatts, with data centers representing about 97% of the fiscal third-quarter pipeline.
The Fit Energy agreement covers up to 380 MW across four phases. Few said the initial 30 MW is committed, while the remaining 350 MW is awarded capacity backlog subject to Fit Energy elections. Bishop stressed that awarded capacity is not firm contracted backlog.
Few also highlighted a post-quarter 75 MW capacity reservation with a major colocation data center operator in Texas and said he anticipates follow-on opportunities with the same customer.
FuelCell Scales Torrington Toward 100 MWBishop stated FuelCell operated at an annualized production rate of about 37 MW and is targeting 100 MW in October 2026.
In Q&A, FuelCell’s CFO said the ramp includes added labor and supply-chain scaling. Bishop said FuelCell had added another factory shift and expected a meaningful production increase during the fiscal fourth quarter.
He also informed that the broader Torrington expansion targets 500 MW of annualized capacity by June 2028, with an estimated $200 million to $275 million requirement that is fully funded.
FCEL Maps a Path to Positive Adjusted EBITDABishop said FuelCell now targets positive adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2027, dependent on backlog conversion, customer schedules and manufacturing cost reductions.
A B. Riley Securities analyst asked what production level supports the target. Bishop said at least 100 MW of volume would be needed, with customer demand influencing the ultimate level.
A Canaccord Genuity analyst questioned reliance on customer decisions. Bishop pointed to the broader 10 GW pipeline and said FuelCell has a defined cost-reduction curve under execution.
FuelCell Explains Phase 0 Economics in Q&AFiscal third-quarter included a $24.5 million gross loss, including $17 million of charges tied to Fit Energy Phase 0 inventory and firm purchase commitments as current costs exceeded contractual pricing.
A Jefferies analyst asked about the timing of those costs and revenues. Bishop said Phase 0 revenues should begin in the fiscal fourth quarter and continue into fiscal 2027.
FCEL Broadens Partnerships Beyond Data CentersFew said the first two carbonate fuel cell carbon capture modules were delivered to ExxonMobil's Rotterdam complex. The demonstration targets more than 90% carbon capture while producing power, thermal energy and hydrogen.
Few also discussed a memorandum of understanding with Siemens intended to support faster, lower-cost deployment of projects above 100 MW through integrated electrical balance-of-plant systems.
He said completion of the 42-module Gyeonggi Green Energy repowering program in South Korea demonstrated FuelCell's ability to execute utility-scale international repowering work.
FuelCell Keeps Execution at the CenterFew emphasized conversion and delivery rather than pipeline size alone. He identified closing transactions, disciplined manufacturing expansion and customer execution as the company's central priorities.
Bishop added measurable milestones through the October 2026 production target and the fiscal fourth-quarter 2027 adjusted EBITDA objective.
He also reiterated that awarded capacity backlog is not firm contracted backlog, keeping conversion into definitive agreements as a key operating marker as capacity expands.

FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ:FCEL) stock is down 13% to $14.90 in early trading Wednesday after the company reported fiscal Q3 2026 results before the open. The Global X Hydrogen ETF (NASDAQ:HYDR) is unchanged at $42.06, keeping the sector barometer flat while FuelCell Energy takes the hit alone.
Meanwhile, Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE) stock is down 2% to $209.98, and Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) stock is down 0.6% to $2.08. Through Tuesday’s close, FuelCell Energy stock was up 134% year to date (YTD), Bloom Energy stock was up 146%, and Plug Power stock was up 6%.
Wider Loss and Fit Energy Charge Overshadow the Data Center Win FuelCell Energy reported revenue of $33 million, down 29% from $46.7 million a year ago, missing the $40 million consensus. The company posted a loss of $0.64 per share against an expected loss of $0.40 per share, and gross loss widened to $24.5 million from $5.1 million a year earlier.
The core issue was a $17 million charge tied to product costs and firm purchase commitments that exceed the contractual pricing set under the capital equipment purchase agreement with Fit Energy. FuelCell Energy operated at an annualized production rate of 37.1 MW during the quarter, below the volume at which its cost structure aligns with the pricing on orders of that scale. FuelCell Energy’s loss from operations improved to $46.7 million from $95.4 million a year earlier, since the prior period carried a Groton impairment.
Backlog Growth and the First Data Center Reservation FuelCell Energy’s Committed Backlog rose to $1.3 billion as of July 31, up from $1.24 billion a year earlier, with total Committed and Awarded Capacity Backlog reaching $3.6 billion after Fit Energy’s option for up to 350 MW was added. After the quarter closed, FuelCell Energy signed its first Capacity Reservation Agreement with a major data center operator for a planned 75 MW project in Texas, consisting of six 12.5 MW blocks and supported by an upfront reservation payment. Financial terms weren’t disclosed.
CEO Jason Few stated in the earnings release, “During the third quarter, FuelCell Energy accelerated the commercial execution of our data center strategy while continuing to expand the manufacturing capacity we believe is required to support long-term growth.” The Torrington, Connecticut plant is expanding to 500 MW of annualized capacity, scheduled for completion by June 2028, with a targeted 100 MW annualized rate in October 2026. FuelCell Energy’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $737.3 million as of July 31.
FuelCell Energy also delivered its first two carbonate fuel cell carbon capture modules to Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM | XOM Price Prediction) at the Rotterdam manufacturing complex in the Netherlands under a multi-year joint development agreement. Separately, the company signed a memorandum of understanding with Siemens under which Siemens will design and supply electrical balance of plant systems.
Peers Move on Their Own Clocks Bloom Energy stock is holding up because today’s action is a FuelCell Energy earnings event, and Bloom Energy remains the group’s year-to-date leader. Its onsite power positioning with hyperscalers and AI data center operators gives it a distinct customer narrative that sits apart from FuelCell Energy’s Fit Energy execution issues (the power, cooling, and networking companies behind that same data center buildout are the subject of a free report on seven AI infrastructure suppliers that aren’t chipmakers).
Plug Power stock is the outlier on the YTD figures, having barely budged while FuelCell Energy and Bloom Energy roughly doubled or better through Tuesday’s close. Its business mix in material handling and electrolyzers occupies a different point in the hydrogen value chain, so the FuelCell Energy earnings report is passing through Plug Power without much impact. The Global X Hydrogen ETF holding flat reinforces that the hydrogen group is trading on individual company stories today.
What to Watch Next The unresolved question is whether Awarded Capacity Backlog converts into Committed Backlog, since Fit Energy holds the phase elections at its sole option and awarded capacity is not contracted revenue. The second open question is whether the Torrington ramp lifts production volumes enough to close the gap between per-unit cost and contract pricing before more charges land. FuelCell Energy’s earnings call at 10:00 a.m. ET could sharpen the timeline on both.
Investors should size their positions carefully given the dilution risk, since shares outstanding rose from 46 million to 80 million since October 2025 and FuelCell Energy is targeting positive adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2027. Traders can watch for whether today’s opening reaction holds once management addresses the Fit Energy charge on the call.

FuelCell Energy čeká na výsledky za 3. čtvrtletí, přičemž tržby mají meziročně klesnout o 16,3 % na 39,1 milionu USD. Tahounem mohou být dodávky do Jižní Koreje, ale výroba zůstává pod tlakem kvůli odstávce projektu Groton Navy.
Key Takeaways FuelCell Energy's Q3 revenues are expected to fall 16.3% year over year to $39.1 million.Six South Korean module deliveries were projected to generate about $18 million in repowering revenues.Generation may stay pressured as the 7.4-MW Groton Navy project remained offline for upgrades. FuelCell Energy (FCEL - Free Report) is slated to release fiscal third-quarter 2026 results on Sept. 2, before market open.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $39.1 million, implying a decrease of 16.3% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus bottom line mark of -$0.32 per share has remained unchanged over the past seven days, suggesting a 66.3% jump from the year-ago reported number.
For full fiscal year 2026, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for FCEL’s revenues is pegged at $153.7 million, implying a decline of 2.8% year over year. The consensus mark for fiscal 2026 loss per share stands at $1.58, indicating a surge of 64.2%.
FCEL's Earnings Surprise History
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of -20.5%. FuelCell Energy’s results beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed in the other, with the average surprise being 14.4%.
Q3 Earnings Whispers for FuelCell Energy
The proven Zacks model does not conclusively show that FCEL is likely to beat estimates in the fiscal third quarter. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of beating estimates. But that’s not the case here.

Earnings ESP: FuelCell Energy has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. This is because the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate are pegged at -$0.32 per share each.
Zacks Rank: FCEL currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3, which increases the predictive power of ESP. However, the company’s 0.00% ESP makes surprise prediction difficult this earnings season.

Factors Shaping FCEL’s Upcoming Q3 Results
FuelCell Energy’s Product business likely benefited from planned deliveries to customers in South Korea. The company expected six Gyeonggi Green Energy modules to be delivered in the fiscal third quarter, which were projected to generate about $18 million in Korean repowering revenues during the period. This matches the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $18 million for product revenues. The scheduled shipments gave FuelCell Energy better visibility into quarterly sales and may have reduced uncertainty around this part of the business. Broader demand for reliable, on-site power also remained encouraging, with Bloom Energy (BE - Free Report) seeing strong data-center demand and Plug Power (PLUG - Free Report) expecting a stronger second half of 2026.
FuelCell Energy’s ‘Advanced Technologies’ business may have also contributed positively. The consensus mark is $4.95 million compared with $4.72 million reported in the fiscal second quarter. The company delivered two carbon-capture modules to Rotterdam for work with ExxonMobil, moving the project closer to a planned demonstration in late 2026. FuelCell Energy also had $15.4 million of Advanced Technologies backlog at the end of April, with most of it connected to the ExxonMobil program. These projects could have supported steady research and development revenues. Meanwhile, Bloom Energy and Plug Power also reported continued activity across clean-power and hydrogen projects, pointing to healthy interest in alternative-energy technologies.
But on a somewhat bearish note, FCEL’s Generation business likely remained under pressure because its 7.4-MW Groton Navy project was not operating and required an equipment upgrade. The company had already said that lower output from Groton reduced generation revenues in the fiscal second quarter. That weakness could have continued into the quarter to be reported if repairs and upgrades took longer than expected. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for generation revenues is $11.31 million, noticeably above the $8.68 million reported in the preceding quarter, so achieving that recovery may be challenging. Service revenues may not have provided much help either, as the next scheduled long-term service agreement module replacement is expected only in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2026.
FCEL Price Performance & Stock Valuation
Shares of FuelCell Energy have gone up 142.9% in the year-to-date period compared with Bloom Energy’s growth of 142.5%. Meanwhile, Plug Power stock has gained a modest 11.1%.

How Should You Play FuelCell Energy Pre-Q3 Earnings?
FuelCell Energy heads into its fiscal third-quarter report with a mixed setup. Planned South Korean deliveries, including six Gyeonggi Green Energy modules expected to generate about $18 million in quarterly repowering revenues, could have supported the Product business. Advanced Technologies may also have benefited from continued work with ExxonMobil, backed by $15.4 million of backlog and progress on the Rotterdam carbon-capture project.
However, the Generation segment likely remained a weak spot as the 7.4-MW Groton Navy project stayed offline for upgrades, potentially making the $11.31 million consensus revenue target difficult to achieve. With overall revenues expected to decline year over year, an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and shares already up sharply year to date, the near-term risk-reward appears balanced despite FCEL’s discounted valuation and longer-term opportunities in data centers and carbon capture.
Bloom Energy vzrostla v ranním obchodování o 5 % poté, co kongresové hlášení odhalilo nákup 15 000 akcií a 200 call opcí spojený s Nancy Pelosi. FuelCell Energy přidala 4 % a Plug Power 2 % na 2,22 USD.
A congressional disclosure just turned one fuel cell stock into the morning's biggest mover, but the filer's cost basis tells a very different story than today's price tag.
Shares of Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE) are up 5% to $214.98 in early Tuesday trading, and FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ:FCEL) stock is up 4% to $19.45. The Global X Hydrogen ETF (NASDAQ:HYDR) sits unchanged at $42.34 while two of its largest U.S. components rally.
That’s the framing contrast that matters this morning. Yesterday the same fund traded roughly flat because its components moved in different directions, and today it’s flat again while Bloom Energy stock and FuelCell Energy stock move the same way. Either way, the fund reports almost nothing about what’s happening underneath it.
Through Monday’s close, Bloom Energy stock was up 135% year to date, FuelCell Energy stock was up 157%, and the Global X Hydrogen ETF was up 34%. This morning’s move sits on top of an already extended year for the two rallying names, which matters for how a reader should size a fresh position.
Congressional Disclosure Turns Bloom Into the Trade A congressional financial disclosure filed Monday, August 24 revealed a new Bloom Energy position in Nancy Pelosi’s household. The primary filing shows 15,000 Bloom Energy Class A common shares acquired in two transactions dated July 24 and July 28, plus 200 call options carrying a $100 strike and a June 17, 2027 expiration. Under congressional disclosure value ranges, the combined transactions were reported as roughly $4.25 million to $14.5 million. The filing marks these purchases with the “SP” owner code, indicating they belong to Pelosi’s spouse rather than to her personally. Some outlets reported 100 Bloom Energy call options, while the primary filing indicates 200, and that primary filing is the source used here.
The buying itself is dated to late July, so Monday’s filing is what’s new, not the trades. That distinction matters because Bloom Energy stock trades meaningfully higher today than on those late-July purchase dates, so a reader buying on the disclosure isn’t entering at the filer’s cost basis.
Why the Same News Moves Bloom More Than the Rest Bloom Energy is the name in this cluster with an already-established data center power business, and a large new position read as confirmation of a thesis the market was already trading. Bloom Energy sells solid oxide fuel cell systems that supply onsite power to data centers and other large commercial customers, which is why AI power demand has become the central pillar of its investment case.
Bloom Energy’s Q2 2026 revenue reached a record $1.07 billion, up 166% year over year and above $1 billion for the first time, with non-GAAP gross margin of 34.3%. Management raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $3.9 billion to $4.2 billion, which builds on backlog conversion and reserved manufacturing capacity.
The read-through goes beyond Bloom Energy itself, since the same data center buildout has to be powered, cooled, and networked by somebody (we profiled seven of those suppliers in a free report here: 7 Stocks Powering the AI Boom (That Aren’t Chipmakers)).
The same disclosure also included Intel (NASDAQ:INTC | INTC Price Prediction) shares and Intel call options. Intel is an established Bloom Energy customer for data center power systems, which is what links the two positions in a single filing: one bet on the chips running AI workloads, the other on the electricity those workloads consume.
FuelCell Energy carries its own data center pipeline narrative, yet doesn’t have a dedicated catalyst of its own today, so FuelCell Energy stock is riding sympathy rather than a name-specific event. Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) belongs to the same hydrogen and fuel-cell cluster and only got a 2% lift to $2.22, which is part of why the sector ETF isn’t moving strongly in a single direction.
Position Sizing and What Comes Next A disclosure isn’t a thesis, and congressional trades are reported weeks after they happen. A reader buying Bloom Energy stock on this news is buying at a price the filer didn’t pay, and Bloom Energy stock has run hard enough that a large amount of AI power adoption is embedded in the current multiple.
That argues for a smaller position size than the headline enthusiasm suggests. FuelCell Energy stock carries the additional risk of moving purely on sympathy, which tends to reverse when the catalyst name cools, so any exposure taken today should size for a possible round trip.
Traders can watch for whether Bloom Energy stock holds its early gain into the regular session and whether FuelCell Energy stock follows through once the initial headline is fully digested. The Global X Hydrogen ETF is a comparatively blunt instrument here, since its international basket dilutes the U.S. names driving today’s move.

FuelCell Energy posiluje po zvýšení doporučení UBS na Buy z Neutral a zvýšení cílové ceny na 27 USD z 22 USD. Akcie FCEL byly v úterý v době zveřejnění výše o 14,31 %.
FuelCell Energy, Siemens Partnership Targets Large-Scale ProjectsSiemens will provide electrical balance-of-plant (EBOP) systems for FuelCell Energy installations supporting commercial projects exceeding 100 megawatts.
The companies will jointly develop distributed energy solutions combining fuel cells, battery storage, microgrid controls and medium-voltage electrical equipment, with a focus on reducing deployment timelines and costs.
The agreement also includes pilot projects for technologies such as medium-voltage DC power delivery and modular electrical systems that could advance to full-scale commercial deployments.
Stock Rebounds From Discounted OfferingThe stock is also recovering from volatility tied to the company’s upsized $225 million equity offering.
The company priced 10.71 million shares at $21 each, about 19% below the prior closing price of $25.96.
The recovery suggests investors are shifting some attention from dilution concerns toward the company’s ability to execute large-scale deployments.
UBS Turns BullishUBS upgraded FCEL to Buy from Neutral and raised its price forecast to $27 from $22.
The upgrade adds to improving sentiment around the stock and provides a higher valuation benchmark following the equity offering.
Although the broader market remained modestly positive, the stock’s sharp advance appeared to be driven primarily by company-specific catalysts rather than sector-wide momentum.

FuelCell remains a higher-risk investment, with a beta of 2.3; investors in the company need a stomach for volatility. Yet, as shares trade well below their 52-week high of $37.88, FuelCell looks like a rocket ship poised to launch into the AI power crisis.
Investors are also concerned about dilution, as FuelCell recently announced an offering of new common stock worth about $225 million. The short-term pain seems relatively insignificant given the opportunity FuelCell has in the intermediate and long terms. Data center power demand is expected to double in the next year.
On-site generation is the future for data centers that desperately need reliable power. Successful execution and scaling of FuelCell's technology could lead to serious recurring revenue for years to come.

FuelCell Energy uzavřela dohodu s Fit Energy na dodávku až 380 MW karbonátových palivových článků pro datová centra. Závazná je zatím jen první fáze o 30 MW, dodávky mají přijít do konce roku.
As hyperscalers build out artificial intelligence (AI) data centers at a staggering pace, they face a massive bottleneck: a lack of reliable energy.
One of the biggest beneficiaries over the past year is Bloom Energy (BE 9.02%), the fuel cell manufacturer, whose stock has surged more than 1,000% since the start of 2025. The company is seeing incredibly robust demand from data center operators, illustrating a massive opportunity for companies that can quickly address the growing energy needs.
Another company that's made headlines with a data center deal of its own is FuelCell Energy (FCEL 10.56%). The company could be the next big winner as demand for power surges, but investors should know a few things before buying the stock.

FuelCell's recent data center deal is an important first step Solid oxide fuel cells have emerged as a popular option to quickly meet energy needs. These fuel cells provide continuous baseload energy using natural gas and, down the road, other lower-carbon fuels like hydrogen and biogas. In addition, fuel cells can support microgrids and boost energy resilience by dynamically adjusting their output to complement intermittent renewables such as wind and solar.
FuelCell Energy has spent decades developing molten carbonate fuel cell systems to deliver continuous, low-emissions electricity for customers, but has struggled to translate that into commercial success. Sales have been uneven and volatile amid extended development cycles, while profitability is constrained by the capital-intensive nature of manufacturing.
That said, AI workloads are driving unprecedented electricity demand, and power grid bottlenecks create a need for alternative sources. FuelCell Energy's distributed generation systems can provide continuous, on-site baseload electricity directly to hyperscalers, bypassing utility infrastructure.

FuelCell Energy recently entered an agreement with Fit Energy, marking a huge milestone for the fuel cell developer. As part of the agreement, Fit Energy will purchase up to 380 megawatts of carbonate fuel cell systems for data centers across four phases.
One thing to bear in mind is that only the initial 30 MW phase is committed, with deliveries expected by the end of this year. The remainder consists of options that Fit Energy may elect to pursue in increments, with milestone-based deposits required before each phase becomes effective.
Is FuelCell stock a buy? FuelCell's agreement with Fit Energy is an important first step in validating its technology and could serve as a roadmap for future deals. With that said, the company will need to ramp up capacity and prove it can meet these demands, much like Bloom Energy did when it delivered on-site power to Oracle in only 55 days one year ago.
FCEL Net Income (TTM) data by YCharts
Before purchasing FuelCell stock, it's important to understand its current financial situation. Over the past 12 months, FuelCell has lost nearly $225 million. Meanwhile, over the past three years, the company's outstanding shares have increased from 14.8 million to 63.5 million as it has struggled with high cash burn. The company recently announced it would raise another $225 million in equity to expand its manufacturing capacity.
Given its cash burn and shareholder dilution over the years, FuelCell remains a high-risk, high-reward stock that needs to prove it can deliver to data center customers before most investors should consider buying.

FuelCell Energy za měsíc od posledních výsledků přidala asi 48,4 % díky rostoucímu výhledu a silnému zájmu o datová centra. Tržby za 2. čtvrtletí ale klesly na 35,6 milionu USD a upravená ztráta činila 58 centů na akcii.
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for FuelCell Energy (FCEL - Free Report) . Shares have added about 48.4% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is FuelCell Energy due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent catalysts for FuelCell Energy, Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.
FuelCell Q2 Earnings MissFuelCell Energy posted a second-quarter fiscal 2026 adjusted loss of 58 cents per share, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a 54-cent loss. The underperformance was tied largely to softer service and generation activity. Management attributed the service decline to the absence of module exchanges during the quarter, while generation revenue reflected lower operating output as the Groton project underwent repairs.
However, the bottom line improved from the year-ago adjusted loss of $1.79 on the back of cost reduction and operating efficiency.
Quarterly revenues came in at $35.6 million, below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $41 million and the year-ago sales of $37.4 million. Even so, contracted backlog remained sizable at more than $1.1 billion as of April 30, 2026.
FuelCell Energy generated $18 million of product revenues in the quarter, supported by scheduled module deliveries to Gyeonggi Green Energy in South Korea. Service revenues were $4.2 million, while generation revenues were $8.7 million and advanced technologies revenues were $4.7 million.
FuelCell Energy Leans Into Data Centers as Pipeline JumpsFCEL emphasized accelerating demand for behind-the-meter baseload power tied to AI and high-density data center buildouts. During the quarter, the company highlighted a 4-gigawatt proposal pipeline, with data centers accounting for roughly 89% of the total.
Management also pointed to a larger deal profile, with average proposal size rising to 130 megawatts as of May 1, 2026. The company believes its standardized 12.5-megawatt “FuelCell Energy Block” is designed to reduce repeat engineering and permitting work and support faster multi-megawatt deployments.
FCEL Takes a Large Hit From Groton-Related ChargesProfitability was weighed down by a significant non-cash impairment tied to the Groton project. The company recorded a $42.6 million impairment expense related to its decision to upgrade equipment at the 7.4-megawatt Groton Navy project to utilize three standard 2.5-megawatt blocks.
As a result, operating expenses rose to about $65 million in the quarter, and loss from operations widened to $77.9 million. While the impairment drove most of the year-over-year increase, management framed the upgrade as a reliability-focused decision tied to supporting a critical U.S. government asset.
FuelCell Energy’s Cash Position Strengthens After Equity SalesFuelCell Energy ended the quarter with $440.9 million in total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, including $373.2 million of unrestricted cash and $67.7 million of restricted cash.
The balance sheet benefited from equity issuance under the company’s at-the-market program. During the quarter, FCEL sold about 10.9 million shares at an average price of $9.45 per share for net proceeds of roughly $100.4 million, and it completed additional sales after quarter-end at a higher average price.
FCEL Scales Torrington Toward 500 MW of Annual CapacityFCEL is moving forward with manufacturing expansion at its Torrington, CT facility, initiating work to support an annualized production rate of up to 500 megawatts. The company reiterated an estimated total expansion cost of $200-$275 million, with execution expected over the next 24 months.
For fiscal 2026 specifically, management maintained its $20-$30 million capital spending plan tied to the ramp, while noting that capacity will be expanded in alignment with demand and structured capital support. Separately, the company reiterated a key profitability marker, targeting adjusted EBITDA positivity once it reaches consistent production volumes at or above a 100-megawatt annualized run rate.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a upward trend in fresh estimates.
The consensus estimate has shifted 33.93% due to these changes.
VGM ScoresCurrently, FuelCell Energy has a nice Growth Score of B, however its Momentum Score is doing a bit better with an A. However, the stock was allocated a score of F on the value side, putting it in the bottom 20% quintile for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been trending upward for the stock, and the magnitude of this revision looks promising. It comes with little surprise FuelCell Energy has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). We expect an above average return from the stock in the next few months.
FCEL těží z poptávky datových center s umělou inteligencí po stabilní energii; jeho projektový pipeline dosáhl asi 4 GW a 89 % z něj souvisí s datovými centry. Firma zároveň plánuje zvýšit kapacitu v Torringtonu na 500 MW.
Key Takeaways FCEL is drawing investor interest as AI data centers increase demand for steady on-site power.FCEL's proposal pipeline reached about 4 GW, with 89% tied to potential data-center customers.FCEL plans to lift Torrington capacity to 500 MW as its 12.5-MW modular block supports growth. FuelCell Energy (FCEL - Free Report) has been one of the strongest clean-energy stocks recently, with shares climbing nearly 300% in the past three months. After such a sharp move, investors may wonder whether the opportunity has already passed. However, FCEL’s rally is not based only on short-term excitement. The company is gaining attention because artificial intelligence (AI) data centers need huge amounts of steady electricity, and existing power grids often cannot supply that power quickly enough. FuelCell Energy offers on-site fuel-cell systems that can provide continuous power where it is needed. This gives FCEL a clearer growth story, especially as investors also watch Bloom Energy (BE - Free Report) and Plug Power (PLUG - Free Report) in the clean-power and hydrogen space.

AI Data Centers Are Driving FCEL’s Opportunity
AI data centers run powerful computers around the clock. These facilities cannot afford power shortages or long delays in getting electricity. FuelCell Energy’s systems are designed to provide reliable baseload power directly at customer sites, helping reduce dependence on slow grid upgrades, new transmission lines or long utility interconnection timelines.
This is why FCEL’s business pipeline has expanded sharply. The company’s submitted proposal pipeline reached about 4 gigawatts in the fiscal second quarter, up more than 250% from the prior quarter. Around 89% of that pipeline is tied to potential data-center customers. That means most of FCEL’s current growth opportunity is linked to AI and digital infrastructure. Bloom Energy is also benefiting from the same theme, as BE markets on-site power systems for data centers and mission-critical facilities. Plug Power, meanwhile, is pursuing hydrogen and fuel-cell applications across several markets. While Bloom Energy and Plug Power are larger clean-energy names, FuelCell Energy is building a focused story around AI-driven demand for dependable electricity.

Modular Product and Manufacturing Scale Add Support
FuelCell Energy has introduced a standardized 12.5-megawatt (“MW”) FuelCell Energy Block. For a layman, this works like a power building block. A customer can begin with one block and add more as electricity demand increases. This is important for data centers because they often want to grow in phases instead of building all their power capacity at once.
The company says the 12.5-MW block uses its proven 1.25-MW modules and is designed to reduce repeat engineering and permitting work. That could make projects easier to plan and faster to deploy. FuelCell Energy is also expanding its Torrington, CT, manufacturing facility. Management now plans to raise annual production capacity to 500 MW, compared with the earlier 350-MW target. The company has said it will expand capacity in line with customer demand, contracted backlog and capital support. This disciplined approach matters because investors want growth, but not reckless spending. Bloom Energy and Plug Power also need strong execution to capture clean-energy demand, so FCEL’s ability to convert proposals into firm contracts will be critical.
Partnerships and Earnings Estimates Strengthen the Case for FCEL
FCEL’s story is not limited to data centers. The company continues to deliver fuel-cell modules to Gyeonggi Green Energy in South Korea and is involved in work tied to the AI Daegu Data Center opportunity. These projects support its international clean-energy presence. Another important opportunity is carbon capture. FuelCell Energy is working with ExxonMobil on technology that can capture carbon while producing power. Two carbon-capture modules were sent to Rotterdam for delivery to ExxonMobil’s facility. If this technology proves successful, FCEL could gain another long-term market beyond power generation.
Apart from price performance, FCEL’s earnings outlook is also improving. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2026 earnings implies a 59% improvement, while the estimate for fiscal 2027 points to another 27% improvement. This does not mean FCEL is already highly profitable, but it suggests analysts expect losses to narrow as the business scales. FuelCell Energy also ended the latest quarter with nearly $441 million in total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. That gives the company flexibility to support manufacturing expansion and commercial activity. Management has indicated that reaching a consistent annual production of at least 100 MW is important for moving toward positive adjusted EBITDA. Simply put, FCEL needs more volume to spread costs across a larger revenue base.

Conclusion
FuelCell Energy is not a risk-free stock. The company still needs to turn its large proposal pipeline into signed contracts, grow backlog, improve profitability and compete with Bloom Energy and Plug Power. However, the stock’s sharp rally looks supported by real growth themes, including AI data-center power demand, modular fuel-cell products, manufacturing expansion, international projects, carbon-capture potential and improving earnings estimates. For investors who understand the risks, FCEL may still offer upside even after its near-quadruple move in three months. FCEL stock is currently a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

The company is positioning its platform around time-to-power, modular scaling, direct current output and integrated cooling. Its technology is meant to help customers reduce dependence on constrained transmission infrastructure and address permitting friction in power-tight markets.
Bloom Energy (BE - Free Report) is also tied to this emerging theme, with on-site fuel-cell power marketed for data centers and mission-critical infrastructure. Its role in the same market reinforces how AI power demand is broadening investor attention beyond traditional utilities.
FCEL Joins the Shift to Standardized PowerFCEL’s standardized 12.5-MW FuelCell Energy Block is central to its data center push. The product combines 10 of the company’s 1.25-MW modules and is designed to reduce repeat engineering and permitting work.
That matters because large AI infrastructure buyers need repeatable deployment models. A standardized design may make bigger projects easier to plan and phase, improving the commercial appeal of FCEL’s systems in grid-constrained markets.
FuelCell Energy Extends Beyond Baseload PowerFCEL’s trend story is not limited to data centers. Its carbonate platform can support distributed generation, cooling, biogas use, hydrogen production and carbon capture, giving the company optionality in industrial decarbonization.
The company’s carbon capture modules headed to Rotterdam for ExxonMobil expand that optionality. The Rotterdam pilot is expected to test technology that captures carbon while producing power and hydrogen, potentially opening another industrial market if the demonstration succeeds.

Plug Power (PLUG - Free Report) offers another example of how hydrogen and fuel-cell companies are pursuing data center and critical-power applications. Plug markets fuel-cell backup power for data centers as a scalable, zero-emission alternative to traditional combustion generators.
FCEL Must Prove Demand Can Become RevenueThe biggest issue is conversion. FCEL’s pipeline is heavily weighted toward proposals and commercial discussions rather than signed contracts, which keeps revenue timing difficult to predict.
Backlog also sends a cautionary signal. Contracted backlog fell 9.9% year over year to $1.14 billion as of April 30, 2026, and product backlog declined sharply as revenue burn-off was not fully offset by new orders.
Large infrastructure deals can take time to close, especially in data centers. Strong exposure to AI power demand does not remove the risk that orders arrive later than expected or fail to convert.
FuelCell Energy Scores Fit a Trend TradeThe bottom line is that FCEL fits the profile of a trend-driven idea. AI power demand, modular on-site generation and carbon capture optionality give the stock a compelling narrative, but the company still needs stronger proof in backlog, revenue and profitability.
FCEL carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which points to a favorable near-term earnings-estimate backdrop. Its Growth Score of B also fits a company exposed to a developing demand theme.

However, the Style Scores are mixed, with a Value Score of F, Momentum Score of D and VGM Score of D. That combination suggests FCEL may appeal to patient, risk-tolerant investors, but it is not screening as a broadly strong stock across value, momentum and blended style factors.
