FuelCell Energy (FCEL) to Post Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?

FuelCell Energy Inc. FCEL is scheduled to release third-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Sep 8. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 33.3%.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for this alternate energy company prior to the earnings announcement.

Factors to Note

The company’s fiscal third-quarter earnings are expected to have gained from the increasing adoption of fuel cell technology and the proper execution of projects.

FuelCell Energy is likely to have benefited from fresh demand from Korea and other countries in Asia, and targeted delivery of 20 modules in fiscal 2022 to POSCO Energy’s subsidiary. FuelCell Energy’s fiscal third-quarter earnings are expected to have gained from the rising backlog and recurring revenues from long-term contracts.

Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top and bottom lines is pegged at $36.52 million and a loss of 6 cents per share, respectively. The top-line estimate indicates growth of 36.2% from the year-ago reported figure, while the bottom-line estimate indicates a year-over-year decline of 50%.
