Fuelcell Energy ( (FCEL) ) has provided an update.

On March 9, 2026, FuelCell Energy reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 results for the period ended January 31, 2026, highlighting a 61% year-over-year revenue jump to $30.5 million, driven mainly by product and service revenues from long-term agreements in South Korea. Despite the higher top line, the company posted a gross loss of $5.9 million and a net loss of $26.1 million, though operating loss narrowed 20% as operating expenses fell on the back of prior restructuring and reduced R&D spending.

Management emphasized a strategic pivot toward powering data centers and AI-related loads, noting more than 1.5 GW of new commercial proposals in the quarter and a collaboration with Sustainable Development Capital LLP targeting up to 450 MW of projects. While backlog declined about 10.8% to $1.17 billion and Advanced Technologies revenues eased, the company underscored its fuel cell platform’s proven uptime, integrated carbon-capture pathway and ability to improve data center efficiency as it seeks to convert its growing pipeline into definitive agreements.

The most recent analyst rating on (FCEL) stock is a Hold with a $8.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Fuelcell Energy stock, see the FCEL Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on FCEL Stock

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

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (persistent losses and continued cash burn). Offsetting this, the earnings call was relatively positive on revenue growth, backlog, and a clearer path to improved EBITDA, while technicals are mixed and valuation remains challenged due to negative earnings and no dividend.
