Why Plug Power Stock Keeps Going Up
Plug Power is teaming up with Australian partner Allied Green Ammonia to build a hydrogen plant in Uzbekistan. Plug Power's CFO just bought 650,000 more shares of the company. The CFO now owns 2.6 million Plug shares, which are worth a lot more than they were worth on Friday. 10 stocks we like better than Plug Power › Are investors in Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) stock irrationally exuberant? Yesterday, shares of the hydrogen fuel cell manufacturer surged to close 26% higher after announcing an expanded strategic collaboration with Australian partner Allied Green Ammonia, whereby the two companies will build a $5.5 billion green chemical production facility in Uzbekistan, and there produce electrolyzer to create hydrogen fuel. Today, Plug Power stock is up another 16% through 10:15 a.m. ET. Are any other catalysts fueling Plug Power's rise? Turns out, there are. Yesterday, I was unimpressed by Plug's announcement of the Uzbekistan project, which Plug boasted created a "5 GW partnership now spanning two continents" between itself and Allied Green Ammonia. After all, the companies' Australian project hasn't yet received a "final investment decision," while the Uzbekistan deal is in even earlier stages. It all seems very hypothetical to me. Plug Power's own CFO, Paul Middleton, though, seems to see things differently. In a sterling example of putting money where one's mouth is, Middleton yesterday purchased an additional 650,000 Plug Power shares on the open market, the same day the Uzbekistan deal was announced. Priced at $1.03 per share, that's a $672,000 bet that Plug Power stock is the real deal. And to drive the point home, Middleton added, "This additional investment reflects my strong conviction in Plug's strategy and long-term value creation." Still, there are other ways to view Middleton's investment. Middleton already owned nearly 2 million Plug shares before yesterday's purchase, which are now worth $0.43 per share more than they were worth last week. His net worth just jumped by more than $800,000. If nothing else, yesterday's news just created a lot of value for Plug's CFO.

Is Boeing's Growth Still Shackled by Continued Problems in Its 737 Program?
The Boeing Company BA has successfully weathered much of the turbulence in its commercial aerospace segment since the pandemic, steadily charting a path toward recovery in recent quarters. However, its 737 MAX program remains under intense scrutiny as we progress in 2025, with the aerospace giant still grappling with lingering challenges that have constrained its growth trajectory. Following the January 2024 door-plug detachment incident involving Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, the Federal Aviation Administration ('FAA') imposed a cap of 38 737 jets per month. Boeing only reached this rate for the first time in May 2025. While CEO Kelly Ortberg has expressed confidence (as per major media reports) in raising production to 42 jets per month and eventually 47 by year-end, these targets appear too optimistic amid ongoing industry headwinds like labor shortages and parts supply constraints. Notably, Spirit AeroSystems SPR, Boeing's primary supplier of 737 fuselages, continues to face financial strain, operational inefficiencies and quality control issues, all of which had previously affected Boeing's output and could once again delay production. And even if we assume that these industry challenges do not worsen any further, the FAA's increased oversight and stringent inspection regime add another layer of complexity. Whether Boeing will secure regulatory clearance in time to ramp up production thus remains uncertain. While it is encouraging that Boeing delivered more 737s in first-quarter 2025 — boosting its commercial unit's revenue by 56.7% — questions remain about the sustainability of this growth under the shadow of regulatory, labor and supplier-related risks. The supply-chain constraints hampering the aerospace industry have affected almost all the industry players, with Boeing's arch-rival, Airbus Group EADSY, being no exception. This European plane maker had to slash its production target for 2024, citing supply-chain issues as the prime reason behind it. However, recently Airbus appears to be managing supply-chain disruptions more effectively than Boeing, as reflected in its higher aircraft deliveries in first-quarter 2025. Notably, Airbus delivered 136 commercial aircraft in the first quarter compared with Boeing's 130. Shares of Boeing have risen 20.6% year to date compared with the Zacks aerospace-defense industry's growth of 25.5%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research From a valuation standpoint, BA is currently trading at a forward 12-month sales multiple of 1.80X, a roughly 17.4% discount when stacked up with the industry average of 2.18X. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The Zacks Consensus Estimate for BA's 2025 and 2026 sales implies a year-over-year uptick of 25.6% and 16.2%, respectively. The EPS estimates for 2025 and 2026 have been trending higher over the past 60 days. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research BA stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
