Oppenheimer analyst Colin Rusch reiterated a Buy rating on Fuelcell Energy (FCEL) today and set a price target of $2. The company’s shares opened today at $0.55, close to its 52-week low of $0.47.
Rusch said:
“FCEL posted results largely in line with consensus as it continues to shift its business toward increased generation asset ownership. We are encouraged to see FCEL procuring substantial construction finance and expand its pool of asset-backed lenders for long-term project finance. We believe execution on this initiative can bring the company to cash flow breakeven. We lower our expectations for F19 product sales to Korea as the year is off to a slow start. Additionally, we lower our price target to $2 (from $4) based in part on lower revenue, but also on substantially higher dilution than we anticipated as it pays its recent debt instrument in equity. We remain bullish on shares as we believe FCEL has sufficient cash to reach break-even EBITDA.”
