The disconnect could hardly be starker. While Hydrogenpro ASA has been clocking genuine engineering achievements at major green hydrogen installations, its stock has been in freefall. The Norwegian electrolyser specialist saw its shares crash 17.4% on Tuesday alone to EUR 0.09, pushing the 30-day loss to nearly 70%. That leaves the equity barely a cent above its 52-week trough of EUR 0.08.
The culprit is a deeply discounted capital raising that has sent a shockwave of dilution through the shareholder base. On June 22, the company placed 30 million new shares at NOK 0.50 apiece, hoovering up about NOK 15 million (roughly EUR 1.3 million) in gross proceeds. The issue price represented a severe discount to the market close on June 19, and existing holders have paid the price. Over the past week alone, the stock shed more than half its value. Settlement of the first tranche is scheduled for June 24, with a subsequent aftermarket placement of up to 12.7 million new shares on the table for current investors.
Management insists the capital is needed to tide the company over for the coming months. Yet it is also exploring strategic alternatives to shore up the balance sheet over the longer term — though specific plans have yet to be spelled out.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Hydrogenpro?
Meanwhile, the operational picture has rarely looked brighter. The first phase of the colossal ACES project in Utah, a 220-megawatt installation, is now complete. All 40 electrolysers were delivered to partners Chevron and Mitsubishi Power during the first quarter of 2026 and have been commissioned. Full commercial start-up is expected in the second half of the year. In Germany, Hydrogenpro is the exclusive technology supplier for the SALCOS project, a 100 megawatt facility that is moving ahead according to plan.
On the technology front, the company has notched a notable efficiency gain. Laboratory tests have driven specific energy consumption down to 4.2 kilowatt-hours per standard cubic metre — a figure that, if replicated at commercial scale, could meaningfully reduce hydrogen production costs for customers and sharpen the company’s competitive edge.
The project backlog stood at NOK 252 million at the end of March. Beyond that, the management team is deep in negotiations over contracts worth an additional NOK 1 billion. Roughly 30% of that pipeline — around NOK 300 million in potential orders — could be locked in as early as the third quarter of 2026. Final investment decisions on the remainder are expected inside the next twelve months.
Whether that inflow will be enough to reverse the stock’s downward momentum remains an open question. For now, the share price is shadowing its lowest levels in a year, and the climb back to credibility will require more than just engineering milestones.
