Ballard Power downgraded to Sell from Neutral at Citi

Citi analyst Vikram Bagri downgraded Ballard Power (BLDP) to Sell from Neutral with a price target of $1, down from $1.50. The firm believes the macro headwinds faced by green hydrogen economy will prove to be difficult to overcome. Ballard’s headwinds include uncertainty on tax credits, delays to existing funding, push outs of funding on projects, prevalence of lower cost technologies, weakness of certain customers, and competition from established players, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Citi says this all weighs on the outlook for truck adoption of hydrogen.
