With the note that it published this morning, H.C. Wainwright reiterated a buy rating on Plug Power stock. Wainwright’s analysts also raised their one-year price target on the stock from $3 per share to $7 per share. Despite the stock already seeing massive gains in today’s trading, Wainwright’s new price target still implies additional upside of roughly 85%.
As noted in H.C. Wainwright’s recent coverage, Plug Power could be poised to benefit from rising electricity prices and nuclear-power development trends. Wainwright’s analysts also think that high short interest on Plug Power stock could help facilitate big gains.
On the other hand, Plug Power still needs to demonstrate that it can improve its gross margins and establish a long-term path to profitability. Plug Power’s incredible rally in recent months may have also been partially powered by meme-stock momentum. While increased support from retail traders shouldn’t be viewed as a negative in the grand scheme of things, investors should still understand that this speculative play comes with a lot of risk.
