Now what

Bloom Energy's first-quarter revenue rose 23.8% versus a year ago to $194 million on the back of a 40.2% increase in megawatts (MW) delivered.

For Plug Power, he initiated coverage on the stock with a $60 price target, which is lower than where shares trade today. For FuelCell Energy, he downgraded the stock from neutral to underperform with a $10 price target. That's nearly 40% lower than where shares trade as of this writing.
