- Consensus EPS estimate is -$0.43 on revenue of $40.51M
- Stock is up over 190% year-to-date, driven by AI data center power demand and clean energy tailwinds

- Analysts are cautious — ratings are split between Hold and Sell, with insider selling and no insider buying in the past three months
FuelCell Energy (FCEL) is set to report its second quarter fiscal 2026 results before the market opens on Monday, June 8.
Wall Street expects a loss of $0.43 per share on revenue of $40.51 million.
The stock has been one of the more eye-catching movers this year, up more than 190% year-to-date. That rally has been fueled largely by investor enthusiasm around AI data center power demand and the broader clean energy push.
But the financials tell a more complicated story.
Revenue Growth Hasn’t Fixed the Bottom Line
In Q1 FY2026, FCEL posted 61% year-over-year revenue growth, bringing in $30.5 million. That sounds solid on paper.
The problem is that gross losses actually got worse, not better. Analysts also pointed out that the Q1 growth was driven by non-recurring projects, not new AI or data center contracts.
That distinction matters. One-off revenue doesn’t build the kind of recurring business model investors are hoping for.
The company carries a GF Score of 61 out of 100, with a profitability rank of just 2 out of 10. Financial strength sits at 5 out of 10. Those aren’t numbers that inspire confidence.
What Analysts Are Saying
Seeking Alpha’s Quant system has FCEL at a Hold. Seeking Alpha analysts lean Sell. Wall Street consensus is also Hold.
One analyst put it plainly: “There is no denying that this is a risky investment. Most conservative investors would exclude FuelCell from the investment universe after glancing at the financial statements for 30 seconds.”
The same analyst noted that for the stock’s re-rating to hold, management needs to deliver at least two consecutive quarters of positive EBITDA and a clear plan to expand its Torrington facility to 350 MW.
That’s a high bar for a company still posting quarterly losses.
Over the past three months, EPS estimates have seen two upward revisions and zero downward. Revenue estimates, however, have gone the other way — one up, four down.
On the insider activity front, there has been one insider selling transaction in the past three months involving 2,500 units. No insider buying has been reported.
FCEL has beaten EPS estimates 88% of the time over the last two years, which is worth noting heading into Monday. It has beaten revenue estimates 50% of the time.
The company’s price-to-sales ratio currently stands at 3.7. With a market cap of approximately $1.13 billion, investors are clearly pricing in future growth — but the fundamentals haven’t caught up yet.
