Jungheinrich-Aktie fällt stark: Jungheinrich verzeichnet deutliche Abkühlung im Neugeschäft
10.11.23 09:25 Uhr
Der Gabelstaplerhersteller Jungheinrich hat im dritten Quartal das weltweit schwierigere Geschäftsumfeld zu spüren bekommen.
Der Auftragseingang legte war noch zu, allerdings mit einer geringeren Dynamik als noch im ersten Halbjahr. "Im Laufe des Jahres hat sich die Konjunktur insbesondere in Europa und den USA jedoch deutlich abgekühlt. (...) Vor diesem Hintergrund haben wir im dritten Quartal einen spürbaren Rückgang der Fahrzeugbestellungen registrieren müssen", sagte CEO Lars Brzoska laut Mitteilung.
Der Auftragseingang kletterte den weiteren Angaben zufolge noch um 4,9 Prozent auf 1,189 Milliarden Euro. Analysten haben mit 1,225 Milliarden Euro mehr erwartet. Der Umsatz legte im Zeitraum von Juli bis September um 14 Prozent auf 1,362 Milliarden Euro zu. Das EBIT sank leicht um 1 Prozent auf 103 Millionen Euro, womit die Rendite auf 7,6 von 8,7 Prozent absackte. Der Nachsteuergewinn sank um 4,5 Prozent auf 68,2 Millionen Euro. Je Aktie verdiente das im MDAX notierte Unternehmen in den drei Monaten 0,67 (Vorjahr 0,70) Euro.
Für das Gesamtjahr rechnet die Hamburger Jungheinrich AG nach wie vor mit einem Auftragseingang zwischen 5,0 Milliarden und 5,4 (Vorjahr: 4,8) Milliarden Euro. Der Konzernumsatz soll zwischen 5,1 Milliarden und 5,5 (4,8) Milliarden Euro liegen. Das EBIT erwartet Jungheinrich zwischen 400 Millionen bis 450 (386) Millionen und das Ergebnis vor Steuern zwischen 370 Millionen bis 420 (347) Millionen Euro.

Plug Power Stock Crashes. The Hydrogen Company Needs a Hand From Government.
Story by Adam Clark
Plug Power’s latest earnings report didn’t go well. And the company looks in dire need of good news on an expected government tax credit and potential loan to turn its fortunes around.
On Thursday evening, the stock tumbled after the hydrogen-technology company issued a warning over its financial position in its third-quarter earnings release.
Plug (ticker: PLUG) shares were down 43% on Friday, falling to $3.39 while the S&P 500 rose 0.9% and the Nasdaq Composite rose 1.3%. Plug shares last declined so steeply more than nine years ago, when they dropped almost 42% on March 11, 2014.
For the quarter, Plug reported about $200 million in sales, not too far off what Wall Street expected. Results through the first nine months of the year leave about $500 million needed in sales for the fourth quarter for Plug to hit its full-year sales forecast of between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion...

Shares of renewable energy company Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) plunged 41.3% through 11:05 a.m. ET Friday morning after the company reported a big earnings miss last night.
Heading into Q3, analysts weren't exactly optimistic about Plug, predicting the hydrogen fuel cell manufacturer and hydrogen gas producer would lose $0.30 per share on sales of only $238.9 million -- yet Plug managed to underperform even these predictions.
Plug Power sales and earnings
Plug Power management blamed "unprecedented supply challenges in the hydrogen network

in North America" for its troubles, but at the same time said this is only "a transitory issue." The company also noted that while its equipment sales fell 8% year over year, revenues from fuel sales, power sales, and services all grew, with the result that total sales -- although they missed expectations -- were still up 5% year over year.
That's the good news.

The bad news is that even if sales had grown as fast as hoped, Plug would have lost a lot of money in Q3. As it turned out, with sales growing more slowly, cost of sales rose 43%, dooming Plug to a loss. This loss was then exacerbated by 20% growth in operating costs. On the bottom line, this ended with Plug losing the aforementioned $0.47 per share, 57% worse then expected and 57% worse than last year.
Plug Power has a going concern concern
And even there, the bad news wasn't done.
So far this year, Plug Power has racked up GAAP losses of $726.4 million, but the news is even worse than that. Cash burn year to date has reached $1.35 billion. That's 60% worse than last year at this time. It's 85% worse than how one might think Plug was doing, judging from the GAAP loss alone.
What's more, if Plug continues burning cash at its current rate, it's on course to consume a further $450 million by the end of this year. The problem is that Plug only has about $110 million in cash and equivalents at present. While the company does also have $226 million in "restricted cash" and a further $389 million in "available-for-sale securities," and can presumably convert them into cash, at its present pace, the company is probably going to be dead broke about halfway through Q1 2024.
No wonder, then, that management ended its earnings release with a note that its "ability to continue as a going concern" is now in question. And with that warning in mind, it's no surprise investors are now selling the stock.
