Advisors' Opinion:

  Shares of FuelCell Energy (FCEL) have dropped nearly 6% today after releasing disappointing financial results. But were the numbers as bad as they looked?

  FuellCell Energy

  FuelCell Energy reported a profit of three-cents a share, meeting analysts forecasts, on sales of $43.2 million, below the Street consensus for $53.6 billion.

  Cowen’s Jeffrey Osborne and Thomas Boyes don’t think FuelCell Energy’s results were that bad:

  Product sales levels proved disappointing, at $43.2 million, a 20% reduction from the same quarter in 2013. Short-term cash and cash equivalent, however, totaled $113 million, approximately 16% of market cap.

  Total b! acklog marginally increased to $350.2 million from $342.8 million as of the end of last quarter, resulting from a sequential increase in utility service contracts. Gross margin of 9.2% is a notable year-over-year increase from 8.4%. Management will likely highlight the recent investment from NRG, with an equity stake and $40 million of committed capital for project financing, as well as its $350.2 million total backlog, which represents about 50% of the company’s current market capitalization.

  Shares of FuelCell Energy have fallen 5,6% to $2.52 at 12:48 p.m., while Ballard Power Systems (BLDP) has dropped 2.8% to $3.46 and Plug Power (PLUG) has declined 3.5% to $5.28.

  FuelCell Energy’s (FCEL) rally is running out of fuel.

  Shares of FuelCell Energy have dropped 7.8% to $2.59 today, a sizable dip even for a stock that has gained 84% so far this year.

  FuelCell has been hit by a double-whammy of Jim Cramer, TheStreetSweeper and Toyota Motors (TM) today. The Street’s Andrew Meola has the details:

  TheStreet’s Jim Cramer said on CNBC’s Mad Money that he would stay away from the stock. “These are just total rank speculation stories. I can’t go there,” he said. “I’ve got a lot of solid companies that have really good fundamentals that are inexpensive. I’m not going FuelCell.”

  TheStreetSweeper also wrote an article on Wednesday to call FuelCell overvalued.

  Toyota Senior VP of North America Bob Carter spoke at the JP Morgan Auto Conference and said filling up a tank of vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells could be rather expensive. He put a full tank of the clean-burning fuel at approximately $50, though he said the cost would eventually drop to $30, the approximate cost to fill up many high-mileage compact cars.

  Here’s what TheStreetSweeper.org had to say about FuelCell:

  Indeed, this is a company that is:

  Poised to l! ose its b! iggest customer. Riding high on a misconceived notion. Selling stock. And we wouldn't be surprised to see more. Can't seem to scale. Losing money faster than you can say, "Fool cells." Sporting a completely unjustified market cap.

  We see stubborn challenges for the Danbury, Conn.-based company that makes and sells fuel cells that generate electricity.

  Other fuel-cell companies are also feeling the pain today. Ballard Power Systems (BLDP) has dropped 1.5% to $3.86, while Plug Power (PLUG) has declined 0.9% to $5.80. Toyota Motor’s ADRs (TM) have fallen 1.2% to $115.61.

  Cowen’s Jeffrey Osborne and Thomas Boyes are impressed with Plug Power’s (PLUG) financial results, which are helping to boost Ballard Power Systems (BLDP) and FuelCell Energy (FCEL), as well:
