Ballard Power Systems reported a strong finish to 2025, with fourth-quarter revenue rising 37% year over year to $33.6 million and full-year revenue climbing 43% to $99.4 million, driven by record engine deliveries of nearly 800 units. The company delivered a notable turnaround in profitability metrics, lifting quarterly gross margin to 17% and full-year gross margin to 5%, alongside sharply lower cash operating costs and positive operating cash flow, its strongest in a decade.
