Why Ballard Power Systems (BLDP) Hit a One-Year High Today

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Ballard Power Systems  (BLDP) hit a one-year high of $4.47 on Monday as the fuel cell manufacturer rose in sympathy with peer company Plug Power  (PLUG), which continued to benefit from its recently-announced Wal-Mart  (WMT) deal.

Cowen & Co. noted that Plug Power's deal could be the first of many such partnerships. The firm stated that the deal with Wal-Mart, in which Plug Power will roll out more than 1,700 hydrogen fuel cell solutions to power electric lift truck fleets at six of Wal-Mart's North American distribution centers, could lead to deals with other customers, including Coca-Cola  (KO), Procter & Gamble  (PG), Sysco  (SYY), Kroger  (KR) and Bayerische Motoren Werke AG.

"The six-site Wal-Mart order is also a framework contract for future sites," the firm wrote in a research note on Monday. "We expect more deals with customers." Cowen also increased its target price to $5.50 from $5.
