Plug Power's Q3 revenues from equipment and related products fell 9.7% year over year.
Lower hydrogen infrastructure and cryogenic equipment demand led to the decline.
Electrolyzer sales rose 13.2%, boosted by growing global and European market demand.
Plug Power Inc. (PLUG - Free Report) is facing challenges across several of its core product categories. In the third quarter of 2025, revenues from equipment, related infrastructure and other products declined 9.7% year over year to $96.8 million.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower demand for hydrogen infrastructure, cryogenic equipment, fuel cell systems (GenDrive), and engineered oil and gas equipment. In the quarter, hydrogen infrastructure revenues decreased by $11.1 million, owing to no hydrogen site installation being completed against three completed in the same period last year. Cryogenic equipment sales also fell due to slower progress on projects that are nearing completion. Sales of engineered oil and gas equipment, acquired through the Frames acquisition, also declined by $5.7 million in the quarter due to the absence of new contracts. These results show that some of Plug Power’s legacy product lines are losing momentum.
However, Plug Powet’s electrolyzer product line increased 13.2% year over year in the third quarter. Demand for the company’s GenEco proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers continues to increase across global industrial and energy applications. This momentum is supported by favorable policy support in Europe, where government funding and faster permitting are helping accelerate green hydrogen deployment. If sustained, this momentum could help offset the softness in PLUG’s legacy products and reshape its long-term growth trajectory.
