Plug Power’s acquisition of MEA-producer American Fuel Cell, followed by the buyout of Montreal, Canada-based EnergyOr will allow it to produce wide range of fuel cell products. Also, this will enable the company to venture into new markets and expand reach.
Increasing Customer Base

Initially Plug Power’s fuel cell engines were utilized to power forklifts, and were considered an alternative to the traditional lead-acid batteries. The lower cost of maintenance and efficiency of the fuel cell engines have allowed the company to power more than 20,000 forklifts. Plug Power has successfully leveraged its fuel cell technology to expand its footprint across transport, stationary and portable applications.

AZZ delivered a positive earnings surprise of 14.08% in first quarter of fiscal 2020.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021 has moved up 2.8% and 2.3%, respectively, in the past 60 days.
The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
