Financial Health Signals
Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores
Fuelcell Energy has an operating margin of -121.6%, meaning the company retains $-122 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 0/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -141.3% the prior year.
Fuelcell Energy's revenue surged 41.0% year-over-year to $158.2M, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 100/100.
Fuelcell Energy carries a low D/E ratio of 0.16, meaning only $0.16 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 100/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.
With a current ratio of 6.63, Fuelcell Energy holds $6.63 in current assets for every $1 of short-term obligations. This comfortable liquidity earns a score of 100/100.
While Fuelcell Energy generated -$125.3M in operating cash flow, capex of $18.6M consumed most of it, leaving -$143.9M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
Fuelcell Energy passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. 1 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Fuelcell Energy generates $0.67 in operating cash flow (-$125.3M OCF vs -$187.9M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.
Fuelcell Energy earns $-18.5 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$192.3M vs $10.4M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
