An announcement from Ballard Power Systems ( (TSE:BLDP) ) is now available.

On May 5, 2026, Ballard Power Systems announced that long-time partner Solaris Bus & Coach has selected Ballard as the fuel cell supplier for its next-generation hydrogen bus platform. The deal centers on integrating Ballard’s newly launched FCmove-SC hydrogen fuel cell engine into the Solaris Generation 2 fuel cell electric bus and extends an existing long-term service agreement to 2029 to align with deliveries and updated commercial terms.

The FCmove-SC engine is designed to deliver higher efficiency, longer durability, and a simplified architecture aimed at lowering total cost of ownership for transit operators, especially on long-range, high-utilization routes where hydrogen buses can outperform battery-electric models. With more than 2,200 Ballard-powered fuel cell buses already in service worldwide and over 300 million kilometers logged, the Solaris nomination reinforces Ballard’s position in Europe’s zero-emission bus market and supports its strategy to scale hydrogen mobility solutions with enhanced lifecycle value and fleet services support.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:BLDP) stock is a Buy with a C$5.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ballard Power Systems stock, see the TSE:BLDP Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on BLDP Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BLDP is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (large ongoing losses and cash burn despite improving margins), partially offset by a strong balance sheet. Technicals are supportive with price above key moving averages and positive MACD, while valuation lacks support due to negative earnings and no dividend. The earnings call adds modest upside from improving execution and liquidity, but profitability and ramp risks remain.
