FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ:FCEL) has been a public company for roughly three decades. However, it has yet to find its footing, marked by negative top-line, bottom-line, and cash flow growth. Since the beginning of the year, its performance has been abysmal, with poor operating results in the first half. The third quarter should be more of the same, which will put more pressure on FCEL stock.

FCEL stock has shed more than 45% of its value since the beginning of the year. Its torrid performance is linked to its litigations with Posco Energy and its disappointing financial performance. The South Korean energy company had been in business with FCEL for eight years before Posco spun off its fuel-cell business into a new entity. Since that spin-off occurred in 2019, both companies have been embroiled in a legal battle.
