Stock Track | Plug Power Plummets 5.47% Intraday Amid $375 Million Convertible Notes Offering

Stock Track
Dec 01

Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG) saw its stock price drop sharply by 5.47% during intraday trading on Monday, despite announcing a new contract with NASA to supply liquid hydrogen.

The decline appears to be driven by the company's announcement of a $375 million private offering of convertible senior notes due 2033. Investors often react negatively to such offerings due to potential shareholder dilution and concerns about the company's financial health. Plug Power plans to use the proceeds to retire $243 million of high-interest debt and repurchase part of its 2026 convertible notes.

Analysts, including JP Morgan's Bill Peterson, maintained a neutral rating on the stock, citing the need for consistent progress on profitability and cash burn before adopting a more positive outlook. While the NASA contract marks a strategic milestone for Plug Power, the market's focus shifted to the financial implications of the convertible notes offering.
