Ballard Power Systems Inc. reported moderate revenue momentum in Q2, but the backlog finally showed an improvement due to strong orders. Cost cuts in R&D and manufacturing have cut BLDP's losses significantly, enabling a very long cash runway. The GeoPura acquisition deepens BLDP's position in the hydrogen value chain.
Ballard Power Systems NASDAQ: BLDP reported higher second-quarter revenue, improved gross margin and lower operating expenses, while outlining plans to expand beyond fuel cell engine supply through its proposed acquisition of hydrogen power company GeoPura.
Ballard Power Systems (BLDP) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.07 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.04. This compares to a loss of $0.08 per share a year ago.
