SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 2, 2026, investors in FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL) saw the price of their shares fall $2.68 (-15.7%) after the company reported a massive year-over-year Q3 gross loss, mostly attributable to its agreement to supply its products to Fit Energy.

FuelCell Energy (FCEL) Investigation
On June 23, 2026, FuelCell announced that it and Fit Energy entered into a capital equipment purchase agreement ("CEPA") under which Fit would purchase FuelCell's carbonate fuel cell block systems whose total aggregate generating capacity was up to 380 megawatts ("MW") across four phases.
CEO Jason Few said, "[t]his agreement further validates our decision to scale our operations to 500 MW, preserving our ability to serve a broad and growing pipeline of customers."
Then, on or about July 7, 2026 (three weeks before its quarter ended on July 31, 2026), FuelCell issued about 12 million shares at $21 per share. While the offering documents disclosed the structure and terms under the CEPA, they may not have been sufficiently transparent about financial pressures already occurring.
Investors learned more on September 2, 2026, when FuelCell reported a Q3 2026 gross loss of $24.5 million compared to the year earlier quarter gross loss of $5.1 million. The company blamed the 380% increase on $17 million of charges "recorded in connection with Phase 0 of our capital equipment purchase agreement, or CEPA with Fit Energy, due to the fact that our current product costs and manufacturing overhead exceed the contractual pricing established under that agreement."
The market swiftly reacted, sending the price of FuelCell shares down $2.68 (-15.7%) to close at $14.40, about 31% lower than the offering price.
"We're focused on whether FuelCell may have misled investors about its product costs and overhead, and if so, whether there may be an adverse impact on Fit Energy's decisions to proceed with the remaining phases of the CEPA," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation.
