Ballard Power – Above-average growth starting 2024

Ballard Power – Above-average growth starting 2024

PR-wise, it’s still quiet at Ballard, even though there’s definitely many projects and pilots being worked on there. News I would expect on March 17, 2023, when the figures for fiscal 2022 are published, as the executive board then always also presents a forecast and an outlook. The ramp-up of fuel cells, for example in ...

Bloom – Company plans indicate great potential

Bloom – Company plans indicate great potential

The figures for fiscal 2022, but above all an evaluation of the written version of the accompanying conference call with expert analysts from renowned investment banks, suggest a very good future for Bloom Energy and support my extremely optimistic assessment. In it were many self-commendations from the board: “Bloom is now a predictable-growth company. Bloom ...

FuelCell Energy – Figures not yet convincing

The numbers for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 (start Oct. 31, 2021): Turnover indeed rose 88% year-over-year to make 130.5 million USD in fiscal year 2022 (39.2 million USD in Q4 compared to 13.9 million USD year-over-year), however the reported loss of minus 147.2 million USD should be viewed critically.

Siemens Energy – Stock market sees the company on a good path

The integration of wind subsidiary Gamesa will still need time until synergies (supply chains, joint purchasing power) and cost reduction potentials become visible in good, or initially at least better, figures. Nothing else is to be expected. The increased loss in the first quarter (Sep. 30, 2022) of fiscal year 2022/23 (fiscal 2023) of 598 ...

Plug Power – A lot of self-commending, little development

The Analyst Day on January 25, 2023 unfortunately did not bring many new insights. The company representatives promised a shiny future and see the company as a leader in hydrogen. Some forecasts and self-imposed targets could have done with more realism, is my subjective feeling. Unfortunately, there are always setbacks that negate any associated forecasts ...

Will 2023 be a good year for hydrogen shares?

If one has faith in the many, mostly positive news from all over the world regarding fuel cells and hydrogen, then nothing – especially at the stock exchange – stands in the way anymore of a hydrogen ramp-up. Because shareholders and investors need visions and growth stories that spark hope in a share. And this ...

The publisher Sven Geitmann, owner and founder of the Hydrogeit publishing house, had taken an intense interest in hydrogen and fuel cells as early as 1997 and became a contributor to energieportal24 and H2Report in 2000. After he wrote a number of technical books, he founded his own publishing company in the northwest of Berlin. In 2005, he took on responsibility for the former “H2Tec” magazine, which he renamed “HZwei”. This trade publication soon boasted a revamped design and more issues per year and grew into the quarterly must-read for everyone following the hydrogen and fuel cell market.

In 2015, Hydrogeit Verlag created the global English-language edition H2-international. Since then, it has kept readers in all corners of the world up to date on what’s happening in the sector.
