<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hydrogen">The hydrogen industry</a>, and Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) in particular, is holding its breath as the Treasury inches closer to releasing its final guidance on the Inflation Reduction Act's 45V Production Tax Credit. 
JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson highlights that while clarity on this $3/kg credit could lift a year-long overhang on PLUG's stock, restrictive guidelines might stifle the company's U.S. growth plans.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Stakes: Cost Pressures, International Focus</h2>
With the final guidance expected to address key issues like additionality, time matching, and regionality requirements, Peterson notes that Plug Power's pipeline of green hydrogen plants, particularly in Georgia and Texas, could face significant cost pressures if the current framework holds. 
The company has warned that overly stringent regulations could force it to redirect its focus to international markets like Europe and Australia, where hydrogen policy frameworks are more accommodating.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Optimism For Leniency In Final Guidelines</h2>
Peterson sees some reason for optimism as lawmakers and industry leaders continue to push for leniency in the final guidelines. 
Suggestions include easing hourly matching requirements, qualifying nuclear and hydropower as clean energy sources, and grandfathering early-stage projects.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What It Means For Plug Power's Growth</h2>
Favorable revisions could spark growth in Plug Power&#8217;s U.S.-based electrolyzer business, though meaningful acceleration may only materialize after 2026 due to permitting and project timelines.
While the 45V credit is seen as vital for making green hydrogen cost-competitive with its grey and blue counterparts, the guidance&#8217;s final form could dramatically impact the industry's trajectory—and Plug Power's stock reaction may likely be just as dramatic.

As sustainable investing faces mixed signals heading into 2025, select stocks are well-positioned to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/esg">benefit from ESG</a> catalysts. 
While broader sustainable funds underperformed the market in 2024, opportunities still exist in stocks that are tapping into green growth trends. 
JPMorgan analysts say these stocks are poised to benefit from macro tailwinds as sustainable investing continues to evolve.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Electric Vehicles, Charging Networks: EVgo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVGO#NASDAQ">EVGO</a>)</h2>
According to JPMorgan, the electric vehicle (EV) boom is far from over, and EVgo stands to capitalize on it. As the adoption of EVs continues to rise, EVgo's charging network is set to see more traffic, driving revenue growth. With an expanding customer base and supportive government policies pushing for increased charging infrastructure, EVgo is poised for solid growth in 2025.
JPMorgan analysts are bullish on the stock, and with the EV sector gaining momentum, EVgo is expected to be one of the top ESG picks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Green Energy and Hydrogen: Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>)</h2>
Plug Power is another key player in the clean energy sector. The company's focus on hydrogen fuel cells positions it well for a significant revenue inflection in 2025, especially with the anticipated finalization of the IRA 45V production tax credit guidance. This could unlock stalled projects, particularly electrolyzers, that would drive higher revenue growth. 
According to JPMorgan, Plug Power's strategic positioning in green energy solutions, combined with potential tax incentives, makes it an exciting pick for ESG-focused investors looking to benefit from the green transition.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Building Materials &amp; Green Construction: TopBuild Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLD#NYSE">BLD</a>)</h2>
The building materials sector is seeing a shift toward sustainability, and TopBuild is set to benefit. New U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations coming into effect in 2025 will require single-family and low-rise multi-family homes to meet stricter energy efficiency standards. TopBuild, as a distributor and installer of insulation, is well-positioned to benefit from these changes. 
JPMorgan analysts note that with green building demand on the rise, TopBuild's exposure to sustainable construction trends offers solid long-term growth potential.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Recycled Materials &amp; Eco-Friendly Products: The AZEK Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZEK#NYSE">AZEK</a>)</h2>
AZEK is making moves in the building products sector with a focus on sustainability. The company's increased use of recycled PVC and PE materials in its products aligns with the growing demand for eco-friendly construction materials. With green building trends on the rise, AZEK's commitment to sustainability positions it to gain market share in 2025 and beyond. 
JPMorgan highlights AZEK as a solid choice for investors looking to tap into the demand for green building solutions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Green Hydrogen: Air Products &amp; Chemicals Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APD#NYSE">APD</a>)</h2>
For investors seeking exposure to large-scale green energy projects, Air Products &amp; Chemicals is one to watch. The company is involved in several high-profile green hydrogen initiatives, including the NEOM project in Saudi Arabia and a blue hydrogen facility in Louisiana. With demand for clean hydrogen expected to surge in the coming years, APD's ability to scale its projects and secure long-term contracts could drive substantial earnings growth. 
JPMorgan analysts believe that while there may be short-term volatility, APD is poised for strong long-term performance in the ESG space.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ESG Catalysts Ahead In 2025</h2>
While sustainable funds struggled in 2024, several key stocks are primed to benefit from macro trends in 2025, according to JPMorgan.
From EV charging networks to green hydrogen and eco-friendly construction, these stocks are tapping into growth areas with strong ESG catalysts. 
As long as performance continues to drive these sectors forward, JPMorgan analysts believe ESG-focused investors have much to look forward to in the year ahead.

Plug Power, EVgo Among JPMorgan's Top Sustainable Picks For 2025

Renewable energy stocks present a buying opportunity despite recent electoral headwinds, according to UBS analysts, while Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk continues to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41059891/elon-musk-says-because-almost-none-of-you-do-your-math-sums-the-world-is-largely-not-using-the-big-f">advocate solar power&#8217;s future dominance</a>.
What Happened: UBS analysts on Thursday elevated U.S. and EU renewables to their top-ranking stock theme, citing an attractive entry point following steep post-election losses, <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/renewable-energy-stocks-election-trump-power-demand-data-centers-ubs-2024-11">reported</a> Business Insider. 
The announcement comes as clean energy shares have tumbled, with companies like Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) and Enphase Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) down over 24% since President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s victory.
&#8220;The environment of an unrelenting power demand shock puts just about every source of power generation in a solid position to capitalize,&#8221; UBS analysts wrote, pointing to surging power needs from artificial intelligence data centers and corporate sustainability goals.
The analysts remain optimistic despite Trump&#8217;s expected scaling back of President Joe Biden-era clean energy initiatives. They argue that companies could &#8220;grandfather&#8221; existing subsidies and that state-level emission goals will sustain industry growth.

Musk, despite his new role in the incoming Trump administration, has historically remained bullish on renewable energy. &#8220;Once you understand Kardashev Scale, it becomes utterly obvious that essentially all energy generation will be solar,&#8221; he posted on X. He noted that a single square mile receives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41059891/elon-musk-says-because-almost-none-of-you-do-your-math-sums-the-world-is-largely-not-using-the-big-f">approximately 2.5 gigawatts of solar energy</a>.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) in the U.S., along with European players like Iberdrola (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBDRY#OTC">IBDRY</a>), Siemens Energy (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMEGF#OTC">SMEGF</a>), and Orsted (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOGEF#OTC">DOGEF</a>). The analysts cite historical precedent, noting that solar installations grew 50% during Trump&#8217;s previous term.
The renewable sector&#8217;s growth potential is further supported by expanding applications, including Musk&#8217;s recent suggestion that SpaceX&#8217;s Starlink satellite network could integrate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41648885/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-agrees-that-starlink-could-combine-hardware-with-solar-panels-and-batteries">solar panels and batteries into its hardware offering</a>.

Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas"> many investors&#8217; favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here&#8217;s a look at some of our top stories.
The major indexes, which had been climbing following Trump&#8217;s election victory, lost momentum this week, with the S&amp;P 500 down 2.1%, the Nasdaq dropping 3.2%, and the Dow shedding 1.2%. 
October consumer inflation matched expectations, but producer inflation exceeded forecasts, sparking concerns about the sustainability of disinflation as the year closes. 
Investor sentiment weakened further after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell made unexpectedly hawkish comments, emphasizing the Fed&#8217;s cautious approach and lack of urgency to reduce interest rates. As a result, market expectations for a December rate cut have significantly decreased, leaving traders uncertain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/24/11/42018463/trumps-post-election-rally-fades-dollar-surges-to-over-1-year-highs-powell-puts-december-interest-rate-cut-into-question-this-week-in-the-market">about the Fed's next steps.</a>

Canaccord Genuity Maintains Hold on Plug Power, Lowers Price Target to $2

Analysts revised the price target or estimates on Plug Power, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) after the company reported weak<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41941424" rel="noreferrer noopener"> third-quarter results and provided FY25 guidance.</a>
On Wednesday, Plug provided its financial outlook for 2025, projecting revenue between $850 million and $950 million (street view: $1.185 billion).&nbsp;
Looking further ahead, the company aims for a target revenue of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">approximately $3.75 billion by 2030</a>.
Also this week, Plug Power reported third-quarter revenue of $173.73 million, which missed the consensus of $210.23 million and EPS loss of 25 cents, missed<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41912702/plug-power-stock-slides-on-q3-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-miss-soft-guidance-and-more" rel="noreferrer noopener"> estimate for a loss of 24 cents</a>.
The company expects its full-year 2024 revenue outlook&nbsp;of $700 million and $800 million&nbsp;versus estimates of $823.46 million.
Piper Sandler analyst Kashy Harrison cut the price target to $1.40 from $1.60 while maintaining an Underweight rating.
The analyst writes that Plug&#8217;s results missed expectations but weren&#8217;t as weak as anticipated. While cash burn improved year-over-year, it remains high, requiring continued capital raises despite potential DOE loan support for Texas CapEx (annualized OCF: -$700 million).
The rationale for U.S. grid-tied green hydrogen projects is unclear due to power shortages, though European development may benefit from government support, adds the analyst.
Thus, the analyst estimates fourth-quarter revenues at $193 million, below the Street&#8217;s $280 million estimate.
JP Morgan analyst Bill Peterson maintained a Neutral rating on the stock.
The analyst writes that he found the more cautiously optimistic tone refreshing, with an acknowledgment that the broader hydrogen industry is likely to see gradual growth in the near- to mid-term.
Plug&#8217;s goals to achieve EBITDA-positive in second half of FY26 and profitability by 2028 still suggest the need for additional capital raises—estimated at $1 billion—despite the DOE loan, given the company&#8217;s fragile cash position, adds the analyst.
The analyst says that if the company executes well in 2025, it could pave the way for a stronger 2026 and growth in the latter part of the decade, contingent on factors like the DOE loan closure and final 45V guidance.
Morgan Stanley analyst Andrew S Percoco reaffirmed an Underweight rating with a price target of $1.75.
The analyst maintains a cautious outlook on green hydrogen, which presents ongoing risks to the company&#8217;s long-term growth and margins.
Percoco estimates that PLUG will need to issue an additional $500 million in equity through the first half of FY25 to cover its near-term cash burn, with DOE funding expected to start in the second quarter of 2025.
Roth analyst Craig Irwin reiterated the Buy rating and a price target of $5.00, with a 2025 revenue estimate of $900 million. This reflects the successful generation of Green Hydrogen PTC in Georgia and the improving visibility of gross margin gains in second half of FY25.
PLUG&#8217;s shares may experience increased volatility due to the high valuation on 2025 estimates, with company-specific and industry catalysts potentially causing significant shifts in long-term hydrogen economy projections, adds the analyst.
With a Perform rating, Oppenheimer analysts write that they view Plug&#8217;s commentary on green ammonia pricing as positive for electrolyzer demand and see the cryogenic business benefiting from LNG growth.
The analyst says that they are encouraged by PLUG&#8217;s focus on operational efficiencies, given its cash position, and notes investors are seeking greater consistency in its financial performance.
Truist Securities analyst Jordan Levy maintained a Hold rating with a price target of $2. The analyst writes that the updated targets suggest a more grounded reset of expectations.
It appears PLUG is shifting from a pattern of overpromising and underdelivering, acknowledging the slower-than-anticipated hydrogen market growth and tighter capital environment, adds the analyst.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Global X Hydrogen ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYDR#NASDAQ">HYDR</a>).
Price Action: PLUG shares are down 3.30% at $1.905 at the last check Thursday.
