What To Know: Plug Power stock surged over the past few trading sessions on a wave of positive developments that eased near-term solvency concerns. Plug secured a $370 million lifeline through a warrant inducement deal, providing immediate capital. The deal includes new warrants that could raise an additional $1.4 billion if fully exercised.
Sentiment was further bolstered by the appointment of a new CEO, Jose Luis Crespo, and a positive analyst note from Susquehanna, which nearly doubled its price target to $3.50.
While the recent financing brought temporary relief, investor focus now shifts to the new leadership’s ability to navigate the path to long-term profitability in the hydrogen sector. The company will be engaging with investors this week at a roadshow in Canada.

How To Buy PLUG Stock
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
For example, in Plug Power’s case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
