Ballard Power Systems Inc (BLDP)

[uksausage]

it is terrible. hope the call can explain why they are down YoY across the board apart from being a spare part supplier to PLUG.

most worrying is the 12 month order book, I though more of their European partnerships were going from proof of concept, pilot to begin roll out.

Seems only WrightBus and Solaris are repeat buyers.

others are testing other suppliers form what I read.

Ballard better get commitments from these early adopters soon.

The Chinese business though is pretty solid so it isnt all down hill.

market doesnt like financials. stock looking weak

OUCH!—That was painful to read

Been in and out of BLDP many times since it was less than $3 and all the way up to $40+.

The ride continues.

a little behind the competition but there are many players and the market is huge. I don't see any target dates in the PR, I do see a partner says "Our Plug...." LOL

hope to get good update at earnings release on how they are scaling up manufacturing outside of China

This is the only equity of any note I hold it LT account. I added last week and this week. not as much as core position. likely will stop out around 24 USD as both new position is US side of my account.

IN Canada you can have a USD and CAD side to every account. IF you dont and lose about 3 or 4$ basis points on every trade in and out due the FX rate on what bank gives you to buy and sell.

[Buckey]

Year end fins just dropped. I was one an analyst for Pubcos but I dont dare try and figure out anything these days with relation to fundamentals and share price

[Buckey]

a full on 40% drop from the highs. Given the current bear market for the more speculative stocks I am nervous to buy this dip but I did a wee bit today as I was luck enough to sell a lot of crap the past few weeks that was trading 10x where it should of been.

I THINK this one is just caught in a downdraft. BWTFDIK it could go to 10 - I hope not

Well, the manipulators in control have taken the green company stocks back to the January start of the run up. I wonder how much further they will go just to show they have the ability to do so.

gradually, but rapidly, increasing market opportunities

[ldemol]

Thanks for answering!

[uksausage]

Initially Ballard supplied the stacks for the largest genDrive fuel cell, powering the flat pack forklifts for heavy objects.
Walmart had quite a few and there were major servicing issues with them.
Plug subsequently developed their own plates to generate as mush and now more power than Ballards stacks so no longer bu6 them (2 years at least) some may be needed spoof servicing, swap out or to keep all units the same in any one DC

[bagwa-john]

I think Plug let go of that partnership, but I'm not completely sure. due diligence is required. The Ballard equipment had some issues if I recall. The last 4 years seems like 40, and my time sense is afu.

[ldemol]

I'm a little bit confuse between Ballard and Plug Power.
It's seems Plug use Ballard system to power their GenDrive.

Does anyone have more info about it?

[uksausage]

So Ballard going to the market following the leaders PLUG and FCEL. $350m- $400m stock offering

https://www.ballard.com/about-ballard/newsroom/news-releases/2021/02/09/ballard-announces-us$350-million-bought-deal-offering-of-common-shares

Given they have little debt due to successful ATM offerings this will all be available for "corporate use".

This should help them with inventory build costs and corporate as they head into new countries with new partners.

Next couple of years will be interesting as companies branch out form their traditional markets to start selling into competitors. How long does first mover advantage count?

[NASDAQ2020]

How high can we go ?

[Diogenes of Sinope]

BLDP—-JUST WOW!

GLTA

[uksausage]

is that 20% trailing stop or 20 c?

Apart from when we get parabolic moves like recently in Fuel cell stocks I look at the 20 DMA, that is often a trigger - close below sell next day if opens down (or still down after 10:00am).

If I know the company well like I do for fuel cells and some EV related stocks I may let it ride to the 50DMA if there is no bad news, lost customers, new competitors etc. so market just rotating

Have sold some big tech internet remote working stocks on this basis.

other rule is if up 500% then sell 20% to then have free shares and no guilt riding it (SHOP BLNK FCEL come to mind)

As previously said - have a plan and stick to it and don't fall in love with a stock be prepared to see the other side.

Thats why I like iHub you always get another side view!


Good luck - what a great day

[Diogenes of Sinope]

BLDP Nice!

We should all trade as per a personal plan.

Helps one sleep better.

Realized/banked profits are the best kind.

Congratulations on your decisions.

closed in Canada 43.56 CAD on US $34.36 now 35.55 AH so that is about $46 in CAD. hot sector but they are announcing deals so some substance. I rarely ever hold a stock - I flipped many in past few weeks - BLDP going to ride maybe with a 20 trailing stop loss limit

Ballard Announces Order for Modules to Power Scotland's First Fuel Cell-Powered Train

[uksausage]

Do some research, Ballard is very small in US, big in Europe already for buses trains and boats.
Apart from selling spare parts to PLUG for the bad systems the sold in 2013-2017 I’m not sure of any revenues.

I expect them to do very well in the bus and train market in 2021 with a few US deals as the US realizes they were left behind. Arrival (CIIC) will be interesting not sure if they use FC yet

[coffee2go]

Ballard is strong in the US, but be aware of fuel cells made in Germany by Proton Motor Good luck everyone!
