Given the way it is progressing, Plug Power may take quite a few years before it becomes profitable. For a growing company, that isn't necessarily a concern.\nLet's take a longer view -- a decade and beyond -- and try to find if Plug Power stock can help you retire a millionaire.\nHydrogen as a fuel\nThe use of hydrogen as a fuel is increasingly gaining traction. Many countries are actively promoting hydrogen. As an example, South Korea is targeting 81,000 fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in use by 2022 and hopes to increase this number to 2.9 million by 2040. In 2019, countries participating in the Second Hydrogen Energy Ministerial Meeting in Japan set a goal of putting 10 million FCEVs on roads by 2030.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nHowever, the actual progress on this front so far has not been very encouraging. In 2020, only around 10,000 new FCEVs came on the roads globally, taking the total number of FCEVs in use to a mere 35,000. Notably, the number of vehicles added in 2020 was lower compared to around 12,350 new FCEVs that were added to the global stock in 2019. Countries will need to do a lot more if they want to meet their collective targets in hydrogen use.\nSeveral factors are limiting, and may potentially limit, the adoption of hydrogen as a fuel. With the growth in battery-powered vehicles, the incentive to develop hydrogen refueling infrastructure is diminishing. Again, the absence of supporting infrastructure, in turn, further restricts the growth of FCEVs. This infrastructure will likely need governmental support and incentives to develop. Right now, growth of battery-powered vehicles has clearly outpaced that of FCEVs, at least in the light vehicles segment. There were roughly 6.7 million battery electric vehicles in use globally at the end of 2020. Hydrogen's combustible nature, as well as challenges relating to its storage and transport, are among the factors liming its growth as a transport fuel.\nYet hydrogen can be useful in heavy-duty vehicles, stationary power generation, industrial use, aviation, and marine applications. In short, there are significant growth avenues for hydrogen fuel despite its limited adoption in light-duty vehicles.\nThe problem with Plug Power\nPlug Power reported revenue of $124.6 million in the second quarter. That's more than 30 times its quarterly revenue 10 years ago. Importantly, its revenue growth has accelerated in the last few years. In Q2, the company's revenue grew 83% year over year. Though it looks impressive, the concern is that Plug Power isn't growing its profits in line with the revenue growth. On the contrary, its losses continue to widen, and it continues to burn cash at increasingly higher rates.\nPLUG Net Income (Quarterly) data by YCharts\nPlug Power's second-quarter loss stood at $99.6 million, compared to a loss of $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2020. With no profits so far in its history of over two decades, Plug Power has relied on shareholders' funds for its operations. The company expects to generate gross margin of more than 30% by 2024.\nIt would take at least some more years beyond 2024 for Plug Power to generate net profits. Moreover, the company has failed to deliver on its plans quite a few times in the past. As things stand today in terms of Plug's widening losses, I am skeptical about it meeting its 2024 gross margin guidance.\nA tough road ahead\nSo far, Plug Power has been selling fuel cells largely for use in forklifts. The company's inability to do so profitably even after so many years likely indicate that the buyers are not willing to pay more for fuel cells than alternative options available to them. Plug Power hasn't suggested any concrete plans as to how its fuel cells can be sold profitably in the materials handling market.\nAt the same time, the company is investing to expand into newer segments, including transport, aviation, and marine. However, it would be several more years before it becomes clear if Plug Power is profitable in these new markets.\nAll in all, I'm skeptical about this stock right now. To me, it does not look like Plug Power stock could help you retire a millionaire. You might want to look elsewhere for that objective.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":837063023,"gmtCreate":1629848460862,"gmtModify":1631888657659,"author":{"id":"3573197870935019","authorId":"3573197870935019","name":"Albaakbert","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/38fb1a202f211aaf65a6b491072b884f","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3573197870935019","authorIdStr":"3573197870935019"},"htmlText":"Power to the plug","listText":"Power to the plug","text":"Power to the plug","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/837063023","repostId":2161089309,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2161089309","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1629818389,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2161089309?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-24 23:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Could Plug Power Stock Help You Retire a Millionaire?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2161089309","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Can the fuel cell maker's high revenue growth help it turn profitable?","content":"<p><b>Plug Power</b> (NASDAQ:PLUG) has grown its revenue impressively in the last few years.
