Hydrogen stocks lose investor optimism as market demands profitability

The hydrogen sector is no longer benefitting from easy market enthusiasm.

The article contrasts the waning hype in hydrogen with the current excitement around space‑flight equities, noting that while some sectors enjoy speculative interest, the hydrogen market is shifting toward a demand for proven business fundamentals and reliable cash flow.
