Plug Power (ISIN US72919P2020) stock stood at USD 1.96 on Nasdaq on September 24, 2026, down 3.92 percent from the prior session's USD 2.04. On September 24, Zacks highlighted the company's improving margins while pointing to a Q2 net loss of USD 190.1 million in its analysis.

Q2 revenue edges higher

Plug Power generated USD 178.30 million in total revenue in the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 174 million in the year-ago quarter. That represents a 2.5 percent year-over-year increase, giving the stock a quantified operating improvement behind the September discussion.

According to 247 Wall St on September 24, the company reported a Q2 net loss of USD 188.21 million, a gross loss of USD 1.68 million and cash of USD 161.89 million. The same report said GenDrive deployments reached 1,666 units, up 125 percent year over year.

Margins improve but losses persist

The revenue increase came with a much smaller gross loss than the USD 53.47 million recorded in Q2 2025. However, the USD 188.21 million quarterly net loss shows that the improvement in gross economics has not yet translated into bottom-line profitability.

Zacks reported that Plug Power's Q2 gross margin was negative 0.9 percent, compared with negative 30.7 percent in the year-ago quarter. The margin gap is the key operating comparison for investors because it measures progress before financing and other costs.

Target price remains above market

MarketBeat reported on September 25 that Plug Power carries an average Hold rating and an average analyst target price of USD 3.59. That target is USD 1.63 above the September 24 Nasdaq price of USD 1.96, while the stock's 52-week range runs from USD 1.70 to USD 4.58.

Plug Power's 2026 revenue-growth guidance stands at 15 to 16 percent, and management targets positive EBITDAS in the fourth quarter of 2026, according to 247 Wall St. The combination of margin repair and continued net losses leaves execution on cash usage and profitability as the central stock variable.
