FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:FCEL) shares are trading higher Wednesday, though the stock remains down by more than 30% over the past month. The stock climbed Wednesday amid strength in EV-related stocks after several EV makers, including Tesla, reported vehicle delivery figures this week.
The move may also be aided by retail investors as they pile into heavily-shorted stocks on a holiday-shortened trading week. According to data from Benzinga Pro, 22.12% of available shares are being sold short and more than 25 million shares have already been traded in the session.
FuelCell Energy announced last week the University of Connecticut (UConn) will use its solid oxide fuel cell technology for its Innovation Partnership Building.
Four of FuelCell's 250-kilowatt solid oxide fuel cells will be used to provide power and thermal energy to support current and planned future demand of the building and allow it to operate independently from the local utility grid.
Should I Sell My FCEL Stock?
