Top Dow Dividend Companies To Watch In Right Now

Fuel cell provider Plug Power's stock jumped more than 16% after it reported earnings on Thursday and said it expected 2014 orders to hit more than $150 million, which is almost four times its total for 2013.

It was trading around $7.94 soon after the market opened.

The company's revenue for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $8.0 million. For the same period 2012, it had revenue of $5.9 million.

Yet, it had a net loss of $28.9 million in the fourth quarter. For the same period 2012, it had a net loss of $8.5 million.

That large loss was mainly because of a charge of $20 million related to a change in the fair value of previously issued common stock warrants, said Bloomberg. Excluding the charge, the loss narrowed to $8 million, or 8 cents a share, from $9.59 million, or 25 cents a share.
