From USD 6 to USD 12 and right back where it all started, you might say. Low revenues in quarters one and two prompted the price to dwindle. But Hydrogenics continues to offer a great outlook given all the bookings made throughout the year. Likewise, it is working on a variety of projects, particularly in China. Recently, it started up one of the world’s biggest power-to-gas systems in Ontario, Canada. All things considered, the stock price is at a truly attractive level.
Not unlike Ballard, Hydrogenics (Nasdaq: HYGS) expects that strong growth will prevail in the second half of the year. Some large projects may unexpectedly carry over from one period to the next, which means that financial results may fluctuate every three months. Increases in inventory reduced cash levels from USD 22 million at the end of 2017 to USD 15 million. Revenue totaled USD 7.6 million, at a loss of USD 2.4 million. Backlog amounted to USD 132 million. Alstom is said to place initial orders very soon. Hydrogenics has been extremely successful in upgrading trains as well as ships. The bright outlook means that current stock quotes only reflect the latest financial results, not the company’s prospects.
