FuelCell Energy, Inc. develops, manufactures, installs, operates, and services megawatt-scale fuel cell power platforms (including the SureSource product line) that provide on-site or utility-scale electricity and, in some configurations, combined heat and power (CHP).

More about FuelCell Energy

Revenue is generated via (1) product sales (fuel cell modules/plant equipment and related project work), (2) long‑term service agreements (LTSAs) for operations, maintenance, and scheduled module replacements, and (3) recurring generation revenue from electricity (and related attributes) sold under power purchase agreements (PPAs) and tariffs for owned/retained projects.

Market Position

FuelCell Energy competes in the distributed/utility-scale fuel cell and low‑carbon generation markets, differentiated by its molten carbonate technology that can deliver steady baseload power and is marketed alongside carbon capture and hydrogen solutions. Its installed base and long-duration O&M relationships (including module exchange cycles under LTSAs) support a service/generation revenue stream alongside new platform deployments.

Key Segments

The company’s reported revenue is commonly organized around Product (platforms/modules and project-related sales), Service Agreements (O&M and module exchanges under LTSAs), and Generation (electricity sales under PPAs/tariffs from retained assets).

Change in closing price from the first day shown, or with Price the closing price itself. Prices: Yahoo Finance, to Nov 12, 2026. Dashed lines: the days the company released earnings (its SEC 8-K filings); EPS estimates: Yahoo Finance. The stock's move after a release runs from the last close before its day to the close the day after (or five days after), so a release before the open counts like one after the close.

Targets, ratings and earnings estimates: Yahoo Finance. Rating and target changes: Yahoo Finance's list of upgrades and downgrades. The average target on each day is the average of every listed firm's latest target set in the 180 days before it, so it counts fewer analysts than the average target above, and the band is the middle half of those targets (a quarter of the firms are above it, a quarter below); a target set before a stock split is divided by the split. Expected figures: the average of the analysts' estimates (Yahoo Finance). Their EPS is adjusted, as analysts estimate it, so it is set against the adjusted EPS Yahoo reports for the same quarters, not the GAAP EPS of the growth and valuation sections; revenue against the SEC filings. No change is given against a quarter whose reported EPS was more than 50% off its own estimate (often a one-off gain or charge), nor against a year that counts one. Each estimate is pinned to its fiscal period by the report date or the period's end, and one that cannot be is left out.

Where the cash goes

Capex of $4.8M exceeds operating cash flow of −$96M, leaving free cash flow of −$101M. The gap has to be covered with cash on hand or borrowing.

No dividend today; cash goes to growth and share buybacks.

Free cash flow: operating cash flow minus capital spending on property, plant and equipment, from SEC filings.

Financial health

Current ratio 6.6, no pressure to repay short-term debt; debt-to-equity 0.2, debt is very low and the balance sheet is solid.

Current ratio
6.6Strong liquidity

Assets that can be turned into cash soon are 6.6x what is owed within a year. 1.5 or higher is comfortable; below 1 needs watching.

Debt-to-equity
0.2Very low debt

For every $1 of shareholder funds, there is $0.2 of debt (leases not counted). The higher the number, the more pressure when the economy weakens.

Net cash
$147MMore cash than debt

Cash and short-term investments of $278M against debt of $131M. Lease obligations of $13M are not counted: they are rent owed, not money borrowed.

From the 13F filings of the 83 funds Hunch tracks, not of every institution: each fund's shares of FCEL at its latest quarter end against the quarter before, as filed (long positions only, options left out), the quarter before put on the latest quarter's share count across a split. A fund files 45 days after its quarter ends, so some have a newer quarter than others. Value is at the quarter end.
