UBS cuts target for Ballard Power Systems stock from USD 6.50 to USD 2.15

Ballard Power Systems (CA0585861085) was trading at EUR 1.79 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026, at 2:00:47 p.m. CEST, unchanged from the prior close. According to Investing.com on September 30, 2026, UBS cut its Ballard target from USD 6.50 to USD 2.15 while keeping a Neutral rating.

What does the target cut signal?

UBS reduced its 2027 sales estimate from USD 180.00 million to USD 157.00 million, a USD 23.00 million reduction, citing a slower pace of project execution and customer adoption. The revised target and forecast put execution risk at the center of the Ballard discussion rather than treating hydrogen demand alone as the main valuation driver.

Investing.com reported that Ballard generated USD 21.00 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, 15.00 percent above the year-earlier period but below the USD 25.72 million consensus. Gross margin reached 20.00 percent, marking the fourth consecutive quarter with positive gross margin, while the company still reported a quarterly loss.

Three milestones in 2026

On July 31, 2026, Ballard reported second-quarter revenue of USD 21.00 million and a 20.00 percent gross margin, according to Investing.com. On September 30, UBS lowered its target from USD 6.50 to USD 2.15. On October 1, Ballard launched Fleet360 with a module performance guarantee covering up to 250,000 miles of fuel cell operation, according to Ballard Power Systems.

What dates matter next?

Yahoo Finance lists October 30, 2026, as Ballard's next earnings date. The report will give investors a fresh test of whether positive gross margin can persist while revenue expectations for 2027 have moved down.
