Stocks to buy

Analysts from both Goldman Sachs and Bank of America claim hydrogen is a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity. That’s a signal to go looking for undervalued hydrogen stocks.

According to Research and Markets, the green hydrogen market could surpass $2.829 billion this year. All as companies and governments around the world fight to reduce carbon emissions to meet climate goals.

We just saw North America’s first hydrogen-powered train in Canada, so the uses are making themselves clear.

As demand for hydrogen picks up steam, investors should consider these undervalued hydrogen stocks.

Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE), which manufactures solid oxide fuel cells, is starting to show signs of life again.

After a rough start to the year, it recently found support at $12.48 and pushed back to $16.18. From here, I’d like to see it break above resistance around $18, and potentially retest $20.

It’s also gaining attention as a potential artificial intelligence play. According to Morgan Stanley, as AI tasks become far more data-intensive, it could fuel demand for cleaner energy. Bloom Energy was named a key renewable energy supply to data centers. A

Earnings have been solid. In its first quarter, company revenue jumped to $275.2 million, a nearly 37% jump year over year.

Product and service revenue jumped to $234.4 million from $168.8 million year over year, as well. Also, its operating loss of $63.7 million was an improvement from a year-earlier loss of $65.7 million.

For most of the year, Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) was beaten up. However, much like Bloom Energy, it’s showing big signs of life.

Since bottoming out around $7.39, it tested $11.78 and has since fallen back to support at $9.44. From here, I’d like to see it break above double top resistance at $12, and potentially test $15 again.

Driving the stock higher is its path to growth and new deals. In fact, according to a company press release, The company’s wants to produce more than 2,000 tons of hydrogen per day by 2030.

Plug Power will also supply Energy Vault (NYSE:NRGV) 8 MW of hydrogen fuel cell stationary power to deliver clean energy to the city of Calistoga, California, during emergencies. This will be the largest planned hydrogen-powered fuel cell installation in the U.S.

Global X Hydrogen ETF (HYDR)

ETFs provide big exposure to multiple names at less cost. With an expense ratio of 0.50%, the Global X Hydrogen ETF (NASDAQ:HYDR) is oversold at double bottom support around $8.

From $8, I’d like to see the HYDR ETF retest $11 resistance. This one, in particular, invests in companies involved in hydrogen production; the integration of hydrogen into energy systems; and the development/manufacturing of hydrogen fuel cells and electrolyzers, including Bloom Energy, Plug Power, and Ballard Power (NASDAQ:BLDP) to name a few.
