5 Stocks With Unexpected Gains

2. Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:PLUG)

Plug Power saw its share prices jump by 11.62 percent on Monday to close at $2.69 apiece, as investors loaded portfolios ahead of expected business updates next week.

This after the company said that its newly installed Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Jose Luis Crespo, will host a live Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Thursday, April 16, 2026, at 10 AM to 12 NN ET.

The session would provide participants the opportunity to engage directly with Crespo and hear about Plug Power Inc.’s (NASDAQ:PLUG) strategic direction, market position, execution priorities and role in advancing the global hydrogen economy.

Last month, Crespo officially assumed the CEO role from being president and chief revenue officer (CRO) for the company. As CRO, Crespo helped drive growth through cost discipline, margin expansion, and capital efficiency, resulting in revenues hitting more than $700 million last year from only $27 million in 2013.

He also deepened strategic partnerships with global customers, including Amazon, Walmart, Home Depot, Gal,p and Iberdrola, while advancing hydrogen fuel cell and electrolyzer deployments across multiple industries.

Crespo replaced Andy Marsh, who transitioned to chairman of Plug Power Inc.’s (NASDAQ:PLUG) board of directors, consistent with the leadership transition plan announced last October.
