So what

Shares of Plug Power ( NASDAQ:PLUG) have been melting in this summer's heat, tumbling by more than 14% so far in July. And the slide was continuing Monday morning. At one point, the shares were down by more than 5%, and they were off by more than 2% as of 12:24 p.m.

Now what

While Plug Power didn't have anything to report Monday morning, Hyzon Motors, a manufacturer of hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles, did.

Positive comments from Citigroup couldn't save Plug stock today

Although it's understandable that Plug Power investors are concerned about the momentum that Hyzon Motors is gaining, it's important to recognize that the signing of a memorandum of understanding is hardly a guarantee of the success of a collaboration.

What happened

I like things that go "boom." Sonic or otherwise, that means I tend to gravitate towards defense and aerospace stocks. But to tell the truth, over the course of a dozen years writing for The Motley Fool, I have covered -- and continue to cover -- everything from retailers to consumer goods stocks, and from tech to banks to insurers as well.

So what

Shares of Plug Power ( NASDAQ:PLUG), which had fallen more than 3% in trading earlier in the day, struggled higher but still closed down 1.9% on Friday. A positive analyst note from Citigroup helped the stock recover some of its losses -- but not all of them.

Now what

It's not immediately clear why Plug stock was under pressure today. There wasn't any obvious bad news depressing the stock -- no negative earnings reports, and no negative notes from Wall Street analysts. Actually, the opposite was true.
