PLUG - Plug Power - Stock Rallies As Investors Look Beyond Another Abysmal Quarter

• Company reports another disappointing quarter with massive cash burn and negative consolidated gross margin despite a more than 70% year-over-year revenue increase.
• Strong product margins more than offset by all-time low margins in both the service and hydrogen fueling segment with additional pressure on fueling margins expected for the second quarter.
• On the conference call, management guided Q2 gross billings somewhat above expectations and hinted to a "very strong" third quarter.
• Management also reiterated the company's aggressive medium-term growth targets with $1.7 billion in gross billings projected for FY2024.
• With the restatements behind the company, ample liquidity, a favorable market environment and management as optimistic as ever, I wouldn't be surprised to see further, short-term upside in the shares despite the almost 100% run from recent lows but it's still difficult to envision Plug Power coming even close to management's longer-term projections.
