Is FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:FCEL) a buy in 2026?
Lean no. The Compass would trim FuelCell Energy, Inc. here, not add.
Great theme, wrong price. FCEL trades at nearly 3x analyst high targets while burning cash on a business that still can't make a positive gross margin.
Where FCEL is headed
Picture FuelCell Energy 18 months from now. The data centre power crunch is real, behind-the-meter generation is the hottest topic in industrials, and FCEL has ridden that wave from under $4 to over $21 in a year. Revenue is growing 60% off a tiny base, the Tri-gen product story is genuinely interesting, and the company has finally landed a couple of marquee data centre announcements. None of that fixes the core problem: gross margins are still negative. Not thin. Negative 15.9%. Every megawatt they ship loses money before you even count the SG&A.
