Specifically, Plug Power and SK Group would provide hydrogen fuel cell systems, hydrogen fueling stations, and electrolyzers to the Asian markets.
“The current relationship with SK Group offers immediate strategic benefits to Plug Power to accelerate its expansion into Asian markets - and is intended to result in a formal joint venture (JV) by 2022. Due to the complementary strengths in this partnership, we expect rapid growth and significant revenue generation from the joint venture that are incremental to our 2024 plan,” said Plug Power CEO Andy Marsh.
The terms of the deal, which are subject closing conditions and regulatory approvals, are expected to close in Q121.
In reaction to SK Group's investment in the company, Oppenheimer analyst Colin Rusch reiterated a Buy rating on PLUG stock with a price target of $23 (34.3% downside potential).
