Will It Double in Price Again?

PLUG is a risky bet as the company’s sales and revenues are not promising. It is struggling to expand its business and is operating at a loss and burning cash to survive. Only investors with high-risk tolerance can bet on Plug Power stock and ride the rally if the momentum continues.

The recent surge in value is only temporary due to the Big, Beautiful Bill making its way into the Senate. Once the bill is passed and made law and the dust settles, Plug Power stock will get back to normalcy. While the extension of tax credit is only a lifeline, that does not mean its sales and revenues will increase. Chances of filing for bankruptcy remain high as losses pile up for the company.
