Plug Power (PLUG) –
41% Return On Short Sale in 6 Weeks
(Originally Posted 4/6/2021)
We highlighted PLUG in our January 24, 2021 Bulletin as Extremely Overvalued
at $66.87/share with a Price/Sales ratio of an exceptionally high 120x.
One month later, on February 25th, the company reported negative $316 million revenue
for its fourth quarter 2020, the result of its management’s giving Amazon and Walmart warrants
on its stock that were worth more than the revenues from them
– causing a $456 million non-cash write-off and quarterly loss of ($1.12)/share.
However, PLUG was riding a wave of enthusiasm,
and Oppenheimer boosted its price target for PLUG upward from $23 to $62,
while citing management’s plan to “dominate the hydrogen economy”.
Other Wall Street firms had even higher price targets for PLUG up to $78/share.
What happened next? Our skeptical contrarian view proved correct.
PLUG dropped to a low of $33.26 on March 5th before recovering to close at $39.30,
giving our Subscribers who sold or sold short the opportunity for 41% returns in six weeks.
