Diversified, FuelCell Energy And TESIAC Form Acquisition And Development Company T Deliver Net-Zero Power For Data Centers

FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCEL#NASDAQ">FCEL</a>) and Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Sdn Bhd (MMHE), a wholly owned subsidiary of Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Holdings Berhad (KLSE: MHB), have announced the signing of a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) to co-develop large-scale hydrogen production systems and technologies across Asia, New Zealand, and Australia.
Building on a memorandum of understanding signed in February 2023, the JDA represents a pivotal step for the two companies, driven by a shared vision to make clean hydrogen production easily accessible and viable. The collaboration underscores FuelCell Energy and MHB's commitment to advancing green energy solutions and supporting global decarbonization and energy transition goals.
Under the terms of the JDA, the two companies will bring together FuelCell Energy's cutting-edge solid oxide electrolyzer (SOEC) technology and MHB's expertise in large-scale fabrication to develop modular solutions that support rapid deployment of commercial hydrogen production.
&nbsp;
Project Award: Detailed Feasibility Study (DFS) in Malaysia
In conjunction with the JDA, FuelCell Energy and MHB are collaborating to support a contract awarded to FuelCell Energy for a Detailed Feasibility Study (DFS) of a low-carbon fuel production facility in Malaysia. The DFS will evaluate the production of low-carbon fuel utilizing SOEC technology with carbon dioxide and water as feedstocks.
Additionally, as part of the DFS, the companies will collaborate with KBR LLC, which will provide its proprietary low-carbon fuel synthesis technology.
The project aligns with Malaysia's goals to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, while advancing its national hydrogen value chain.

FuelCell Energy and MMHE Partner to Expand Large-Scale Hydrogen Production Across Asia and Australia

FuelCell Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCEL#NASDAQ">FCEL</a>) shares are trading higher. The company on Thursday announced that it began testing its electrolyzer for a potential commercial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43525539/idaho-national-laboratory-testing-of-fuelcell-energys-electrolyzer-to-show-further-commercializati">nuclear power opportunity</a>.
What Happened: FuelCell announced its solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) system has started a testing and validation period at the U.S. Department of Energy&#8217;s Idaho National Laboratory (INL). 
The project will study how hydrogen production operations can help nuclear plants diversify and increase their profitability by switching between electricity production and hydrogen generation. The testing will also investigate the potential of advanced small modular reactors paired with FuelCell&#8217;s utility-scale electrolyzers.
&#8220;Pairing FuelCell Energy&#8217;s electrolyzer with nuclear plants is an excellent example of the ‘all-of-the-above&#8217; energy strategy that is necessary to meet the needs of a strained electric infrastructure,&#8221; said Jason Few, president and CEO of FuelCell Energy.
&#8220;Nuclear energy is a baseload power source that when paired with FuelCell Energy&#8217;s electrolyzer can ensure that every kilowatt of power is converted into a usable or stored energy resource. FuelCell Energy&#8217;s electrolysis platform can enable&nbsp;100%&nbsp;smart energy utilization.&#8221;
The testing is expected to show that the technology can reduce the cost of clean hydrogen production by converting 100% of the electricity and water fed into the system into zero-carbon hydrogen. 
The FuelCell Energy system will be exhibited to members of the global energy industry who visit INL. Additionally,&nbsp;hydrogen produced by the FuelCell system will be used for ongoing research at the facility.

FuelCell Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCEL#NASDAQ">FCEL</a>) shares are trading lower after the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42573324/fuelcell-energy-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-fiscal-year-2024-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported its fourth quarter 2024 results.</a>
The company&#8217;s total revenues grew 120% year-over-year to $49.326 million, beating the consensus of $39.716 million.
Product revenues rose to $25.4 million for the three months ending October 31, 2024, from $10.5 million a year earlier. The increase was driven by $18.0 million from the GGE Agreement for fuel cell module replacements in Korea and $7.7 million from a sales contract with Ameresco for a 2.8 MW platform for the Sacramento Sewer District.
Service agreements revenue rose to $5.6 million from $(0.8) million, driven by two module exchanges during the quarter. Generation revenue increased 40.3% to $12.0 million due to the Toyota and Derby projects.
Advanced Technologies revenue grew to $6.4 million, supported by ExxonMobil&#8216;s Rotterdam project and government contracts, offset by $0.8 million lower revenue from the EMTEC Joint Development Agreement.
The company reported a loss per share of $2.21, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing the consensus loss of $1.75</a>. The company reported a gross loss of $10.9 million, down from the previous year&#8217;s $1.5 million loss.
Operating expenses for the quarter decreased to $30.1 million from $34.9 million the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $25.3 million in the quarter from the $30.8 million loss a year ago.
In November, FCEL announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/24/11/42011849/restructure-and-recharge-fuelcell-cuts-workforce-plans-to-reduce-operating-costs-by-15-in-2025" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">global restructuring </a>in the U.S., Canada, and Germany to reduce operating costs by 15% in fiscal 2025, including a 13% workforce reduction. Delays in solid oxide and carbon capture product timelines mean it will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">not meet revenue targets provided in fiscal 2022. </a>
However, FuelCell expects a material revenue improvement in fiscal 2025, driven by contracted deliveries, including replacement modules for GGE.
As of October 31, 2024, FuelCell&nbsp;had $318.0 million in cash, restricted cash, and short-term investments, down from $403.3 million in 2023. This included $148.1 million in unrestricted cash, $109.1 million in investments, and $60.8 million in restricted cash.
During the quarter, the company sold 1.9 million shares under its Amended Open Market Sale Agreement at $11.23 per share, generating $21.5 million in gross proceeds and $20.8 million net after $0.6 million in fees.
As of October 31, 2024, FCEL&#8217;s backlog rose 13.1% to $1.16 billion year-over-year, driven by the GGE Agreement. The backlog includes product, service, and generation agreements, with a weighted average term of 16 years.
Price Action: FCEL shares are trading lower by 3.05% at $9.52 at the last check Thursday.

Earnings Scheduled For December 19, 2024

It's no secret that clean energy technology specialist FuelCell Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCEL#NASDAQ">FCEL</a>) has thoroughly struggled this year, with FCEL stock hemorrhaging about 77% of market value since the beginning of January. On paper, the underlying company's business of developing and delivering fuel cell systems — which convert hydrogen into electricity — is highly relevant. Unfortunately, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FCEL/earnings">declining revenue</a> from prior years contributed to investor sentiment erosion.
In mid-November, management announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/24/11/42011849/restructure-and-recharge-fuelcell-cuts-workforce-plans-to-reduce-operating-costs-by-15-in-2025">global restructuring effort</a> to reduce costs and focus on core technologies, part of an overall response to slower-than-expected clean energy investments. Within the plan, FuelCell stated that it would reduce its workforce by 17% and slash spending on product development, overhead and other expenses. The company anticipates that the directive will lower operating costs by approximately 15% in fiscal year 2025 compared to 2024.

Since announcing this strategic shift, FCEL stock has rebounded from the abyss. At its trough this year, shares traded hands for less than $6. However, since late last month, FCEL jumped above the all-important $10 technical support line. Should the bulls continue to maintain level flight, the energy specialist could potentially enjoy a sentiment reversal.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Short-Squeeze Speculation Entices an Aggressive Long Strategy</h2>
Currently, FCEL stock ranks among Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/short-interest/most-shorted">Most Shorted Stocks</a> list, a screener dedicated to securities that have attracted the most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-high-short-interest-stocks">short interest</a>. This label refers to the total number of shares of a company that have been borrowed and sold by speculators betting that the stock will fall.
The idea is that by borrowing and immediately selling a downbeat security, the speculator can pick up shares at a cheaper price. Following the return of the borrowed amount of shares back to the lending broker, the short trader pockets the difference as profit. Obviously, the target security must fall in value for a short position to be profitable.
Of course, with the market being unpredictable, short traders have incurred devastating losses due to the stock in question shooting skyward. When an unexpected bullish wave materializes, the upside pressure can be exacerbated. That's because a short trader must buy to close the position, creating in effect a self-fulfilling prophecy.
This upward panic — colloquially known as a short squeeze — can be incredibly powerful, especially if the contrarian bull gets in ahead of the panic.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Heightened Options Activity Tempts the Contrarian Mindset</h2>
To be fair, options volume for FCEL stock has been light compared to prior years due to the escalating financial challenges. However, activity has been <a href="https://optioncharts.io/options/FCEL/unusual-options?option_type=all&amp;expiration_dates=2024-12-20:m,2024-12-27:w,2025-01-03:w,2025-01-10:w,2025-01-17:m,2025-01-24:w,2025-01-31:w,2025-04-17:w&amp;strike_range=all">picking up</a>, particularly for out-the-money (OTM) call options. Though no definitive conclusions can be made, this development may suggest rising bullish interest in FuelCell stock.
Investors interested in taking an aggressive wager may consider a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bull-spread">bull call spread strategy</a>, specifically the 9/12 call spread for the options chain expiring Jan. 17, 2025. This trade involves simultaneously buying the $9 FCEL call and selling the $11 call. The credit received from the short call partially offsets the debit paid for the long call, essentially providing a discounted net long position. In this case, $159 is at risk for the chance to earn $141 (88.68% payout).
True, the bull call spread caps the reward at the short call's strike price. However, the benefit is that the threshold of profitability (or the breakeven point) is reduced. In the case of the 9/12 call spread, the breakeven price (at time of writing) sits at $10.59. Further, FCEL stock needs to rise about 12% to reach the short strike price, which is doable considering recent pricing activity.
Nevertheless, it must be said that FuelCell represents a high-risk, high-reward opportunity. Given the company's history, a continuation of its misery is well within the realm of possibility. However, the bulls&#8217; ability to jump above the critical $10 threshold — combined with management's strategic pivot — could entice contrarian traders.

Friday's Top 5 Trending Stocks: What's The Scoop On Palantir, Bloom Energy, Pfizer?

FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCEL#NASDAQ">FCEL</a>) shares are trading higher after the company disclosed a corporate restructuring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42005647/fuelcell-energy-announces-global-restructuring-focusing-core-technologies-on-distributed-power-gen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">across the U.S., Canada, and Germany</a>.
The goal is to reduce costs and focus on core technologies in response to slower-than-anticipated clean energy investments.
FuelCell Energy expects the restructuring to lower operating costs by approximately 15% in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal year 2025 compared to 2024.</a> 
Here&#8217;s the plan:
<ul>
<li>Reduce the workforce by 17% (including actions taken in September)</li>
<li>Slash spending on product development, overhead, and other expenses.</li>
<li>Prioritize commercially available technologies to align with shifting market opportunities.</li>
<li>Expand its Connecticut-made molten carbonate technology (no expected layoffs in Torrington)</li>
<li>Support growing AI-driven data center demands</li>
<li>Address grid deficiencies.</li>
<li>Advance CO2 recovery for industrial uses</li>
<li>Continue developing its joint carbon capture platform, including a demonstration at the Port of Rotterdam. </li>
<li>Grow resources to support its growing South Korean customer base.</li>
</ul>
FuelCell CEO Jason Few said, &#8220;These tailwinds are strengthened by power shortages in grids, high voltage transmission needs, and delays in centralized power projects due to lengthy permitting processes, which our distributed energy platforms do not experience. Additional power demand opportunities are driven by data centers, AI, cryptocurrency growth, more resilient and reliable grids, and carbon recovery and capture.&#8221;
FCEL expects non-recurring charges from the restructuring in Q4 FY2024 and Q1 FY2025 and cash, restricted cash, and short-term investments to exceed $300 million as of Oct. 31.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Global X Hydrogen ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYDR#NASDAQ">HYDR</a>).
Price Action: FuelCell shares are up 19.68% at $8.39 at the last check Friday.
