Plug Power (Plug Power (PLUG)) is making another move to shore up its cash position, this time by selling a Texas project and restructuring a New York deal. The company announced Monday two transactions with Stream US Data Centers that it says will provide more than $80 million in near-term liquidity, part of a broader plan to improve liquidity by over $275 million.

The news comes as Plug Power stock trades lower in Monday's premarket session, with Nasdaq futures down 1.06% and S&P 500 futures off 0.34%. PLUG shares were down 0.90% at $2.21 in premarket trading.

The Texas Sale

Plug Power has signed a definitive agreement to sell its Graham, Texas, project for up to $76.5 million. Including the expected release of about $14 million in cash collateral, the transaction could generate approximately $90.5 million in total liquidity. The deal is expected to close around July 31, subject to customary conditions.

The New York Amendment

Plug also amended its agreement for the New York Gateway Project. Under the revised terms, Stream will release a $6.5 million escrow deposit and provide a new $10 million land purchase deposit. The land sale will close first, while the closing for non-land assets has been extended to March 31, 2027, pending regulatory approvals. The purchase price remains $142 million.

As of June 30, 2026, Plug held about $162 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents before proceeds from the new transactions. The company said the deals are part of its infrastructure optimization strategy and continue to support its 2026 liquidity and cash flow goals.

Technical Picture: Oversold but Still Weak

The longer-term trend for Plug Power remains weak. The stock is trading 15.6% below its 20-day simple moving average of $2.63 and 29.8% below its 50-day simple moving average of $3.16. It's also 15.6% below its 200-day simple moving average of $2.63, suggesting buyers have not regained control.

However, momentum indicators show the stock may be stretched to the downside. The relative strength index (RSI) stands at 28.33. A reading below 30 is generally considered oversold and can indicate that selling pressure is becoming exhausted, although it does not guarantee a rebound.

The moving averages continue to favor the bears. The 20-day average remains below the 50-day average, reflecting weak near-term momentum. At the same time, the 50-day average remains above the 200-day average, leaving a longer-term golden cross intact if the stock can recover.

The next key support level is around $2.00, a round-number price that could attract buying interest if the decline continues.

Earnings and Analyst Views

Plug Power's next estimated earnings report is due on August 10. Analysts expect a loss of 8 cents per share on revenue of $168.26 million, compared with a loss of 20 cents per share on revenue of $173.97 million a year earlier.
