Plug Power’s third-quarter results are expected to benefit from the December 2022 acquisition of the subsidiaries of Cryogenic Industrial Solutions, Alloy Custom Products and WesMor Cryogenics, which has expanded the company’s production capabilities for stainless steel and aluminum cryogenic transport truck-mounted cryogenic pressure vessels, cryogenic transport trailers, and other mobile storage containers. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for PLUG’s third-quarter revenues indicates a 30.7% jump from the year-ago reported number.
The company is expected to generate higher revenues from fuel delivered to customers and related equipment due to an increase in the number of sites with fuel contracts. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues from fuel delivered to customers and related equipment suggests a 58.8% surge from the year-ago reported number.
An increase in revenues related to hydrogen site installations, liquefiers, cryogenic equipment, and electrolyzer stacks and systems is expected to have boosted revenues from sales of equipment, related infrastructure and others. The consensus mark for revenues from the sale of equipment, related infrastructure and others indicates a 17.7% rise from the year-ago reported number.
Expanding customer base is likely to drive revenues from services performed on fuel cell systems and related infrastructure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues from services performed on fuel cell systems and related infrastructure for the third quarter hints at a 31.4% jump from the year-ago reported figure.
However, high energy prices and inflationary pressure may dent Plug Power’s third-quarter results. Amid the tight labor market, labor shortages are expected to result in higher costs for the company, thus hurting its bottom line.
