▶️ FuelCell Energy Inc (FCEL)
FuelCell Energy Inc is a renewable energy company based in Connecticut but has hydrogen fuel cell power plants in the US and internationally. The company is considered a leader in the innovation of renewable energies.
Since the clean energy bill was passed in the US at the end of 2021, hydrogen cell stocks have been in demand. FuelCell Energy was considered a hydrogen penny stock in 2019 trading at $0.50 before surging to $29.00 in mid-2021 - a more than 6,000% increase.
However, this hydrogen stock has been a wild ride so risk management is key when considering investing in such a volatile company. The share price has declined more than 70% since reaching its 2021 high and is currently ranging in between $5.00 and $12.00 per share.
▶️ Plug Power Inc (PLUG)
Plug Power Inc is considered to be one of the leaders in the best hydrogen fuel cell stocks to buy. In fact, it is a leading provider of clean hydrogen and is the world’s largest buyer of liquid hydrogen having more hydrogen refuelling stations in the world than any other company.

Plug Power also announced plans to set up a European headquarters in Germany given them important access to European markets.
The share price of Plug Power has been on a wild change. From 2015 to late 2019, Plug Power was considered a hydrogen penny stock trading at an average price of $2.00. In early 2020, the share price surged more than 1,880% higher to around $75.00 per share one year later.
Since then, the stock price dropped 75% before basing around $20.00 and now trading 150% higher from its current 2021 low. The stock does have potential if investors and institutions start to allocate more funds to the hydrogen sector.
