Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG)
is nothing if not volatile. The company, which makes fuel cell systems,
went public in 1999 at $15. At the height of the tech bubble in 2000,
shares hit an all-time peak near $150, up nearly 10-fold in less than
five months.
The stock crashed and burned as the bubble burst, falling below $5 in
late 2002. By May 2011, with shares near $0.50, management decided to
do a 1:10 reverse split to maintain its Nasdaq listing and make shares
more attractive. This put the stock in the low single digits, but the
slide continued until PLUG hit an all-time low of $0.12 in February
2013.
To lucky shareholders' delight, the stock then began a rapid advance,
surging nearly 10,000% to a high of $11.72 in March of this year. (more)
