Cowen Keeps FuelCell (FCEL) at Outperform Following Q4 Results; PT Under Review

March 11, 2014 9:15 AM
Cowen and Company maintains its Ouperform rating and $2 price target on FuelCell (Nasdaq: FCEL) following the company's Q4 results issued Monday night. The firm noted that its price target would be under review following the company's quarterly call.

Analyst Robert Stone made a few brief observations following FuelCell's results: Q1:F14 sales were 2% above consensus. Net loss was 16% wider on lower GM and higher expenses; in-line (4c) per share reflects higher shares. Backlog declined Q/Q, but multiple MW of orders have been negotiated and await final customer or regulatory approval.

On group valuations, Stone commented, Fuel cell and hydrogen-related companies (Ballard Power (Nasdaq: BLDP), FCEL, Hydrogenics (Nasdaq: HYGS), and Plug Power (Nasdaq: PLUG)) are trading from 3.5-9.7x EV/2015E sales, and Capstone Turbine (Nasdaq: CPST) is 2.9x ... We believe a common element for the group is that they represent emerging technologies, which, after many years of development, are transitioning toward profitability.
