BLDP Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Ballard Power Systems Inc. has reported a substantial increase in its 12-month order book and total backlog, which have risen by 70% and 41% quarter-over-quarter, respectively, indicating a strong demand for its fuel cell products, particularly in the Motive segment. The company has also raised its 2025 revenue estimate by 4.5%, supported by anticipated robust growth driven by policy incentives and repeated orders from key customers in the bus and rail markets, which constitute a significant portion of its backlog. Furthermore, management's focus on reducing operating expenses by 30% and achieving gross margin improvements, alongside ongoing efforts to streamline operations and reduce costs, positions the company favorably for future financial performance.
Bears say
Ballard Power Systems has reported a stark decline in financial performance, with a 4Q gross margin of -13% leading to an anticipated FY 2024 gross margin of -32%, reflecting a significant decline in profitability due to low product volumes. The company's total revenue for 4Q fell 48% year-over-year to $24.5 million, missing expectations and indicating difficulties in the Motive segment, along with a decrease in backlog since 1Q24. Additionally, Ballard faces ongoing challenges with negative EPS, free cash flow, and EBITDA projections for several years, culminating in concerns about high cash burn and a material accumulated deficit, alongside intrinsic country risks.
