    Listen to the news

    FuelCell Energy (FCEL) is back in focus after the company amended its open market sales agreement to allow up to US$200 million of additional common stock issuance, a move that has coincided with sharp share price swings.

    See our latest analysis for FuelCell Energy.

    The amended share sale plan comes after a sharp share price move, with an 11.76% 1 day share price return at the latest close of US$8.17. However, that sits against a 30 day share price return of 2.39% and a 90 day share price return of 19.82%. Over longer periods, the picture has been much tougher, with a 1 year total shareholder return of 35.77% and a 5 year total shareholder return of 98.27%. This helps explain why fresh capital raising and recent director selling are being closely watched for what they might signal about risk.

    If FuelCell Energy’s volatility has your attention, it could be a good moment to scan for other clean power and related names through high growth tech and AI stocks and see how they compare.

    So with a recent 1 day jump, longer term declines and fresh dilution risk on the table, is FuelCell Energy now trading below what its fundamentals suggest, or is the market already pricing in any future growth?
