Ziemlich negativ die MS Einschätzung...
And that's not all. While Morgan Stanley listed several "risks" to Plug's business, the scenario it lays out for how Plug will overcome these risks is arguably of even greater concern. Specifically, according to Morgan Stanley, in order for Plug to merit even its current equal weight rating and $35 price target, it's going to be necessary for Plug to grow its business to $1.7 billion in size by 2024 (Plug's current trailing-12-month revenue is negative $100 million), then grow 23% annually from 2025 through 2030, 14% annually from 2030 to 2040, and 9% annually from 2040 to 2050.
And Morgan Stanley needs to see Plug reduce its operating costs by more than 10% annually over at least the next 15 years. Judging from today's price action, investors have their doubts that Plug Power will manage to accomplish all of the above -- and that's why they're selling today.
