What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

FuelCell Energy stock fell 11% after its CFO, Michael Bishop, stepped down, even though the company reaffirmed its fiscal 2027 adjusted EBITDA target. Concurrently, a securities class action was filed against FuelCell Energy, alleging the company waited until its September 2, 2026 quarterly report to disclose that output was running below the rate required by its Fit Energy agreement. Bloom Energy and Plug Power also saw declines of 2% and 3% respectively.
