FuelCell Energy (FCEL) is projected to significantly reduce its losses in fiscal 2026, with a Zacks Consensus Estimate predicting a loss of $1.58 per share, marking a 64.2% improvement from fiscal 2025. This comes as the company aims for annual production of at least 100 megawatts to enhance its adjusted EBITDA. Despite the reduction in forecasted losses, FCEL is still not expected to achieve profitability in the near term.
Key opportunities for growth are being driven by increasing electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers, with FCEL’s proposal pipeline reaching approximately 4 gigawatts, of which 89% is data-center related. Competition is intensifying, with rivals like Bloom Energy and Plug Power also targeting the same market, emphasizing the need for FCEL to increase sales volumes and control costs.
Year-to-date, FCEL’s share price has soared by 156.5%, outpacing Bloom Energy’s 134.8% and Plug Power’s 10.1% gains. While this surge indicates rising investor optimism, it places heightened expectations on FCEL to convert its growing pipeline into contracts and improve its profitability.
