燃料电池能源公司任命新首席财务官，10月7日生效
据路透社报道，总部位于康涅狄格州丹伯里的燃料电池能源公司（FuelCell Energy）10月7日宣布，任命马修·拉蒂诺（Matthew Latino）为首席财务官，即日生效，接替按计划交接的财务长迈克尔·毕晓普（Michael Bishop）。
据报道，在公司任职超过20年的毕晓普将留任高级顾问至2027年年度股东大会，以协助过渡。拉蒂诺此前在赛莱默公司（Xylem）担任财务高级副总裁兼测量与控制解决方案业务的部门首席财务官，在工业财务与经营扭转方面经验丰富。
消息公布后，公司股价在盘前交易中下跌近7%，反映投资者对清洁能源板块艰难年份的担忧。燃料电池能源生产通过电化学过程发电的燃料电池电站，长期受高成本与需求不稳困扰。
该公司表示，预计人工智能与数据中心基础设施对可靠全天候电力的需求增长将支撑其业务发展——这一主题已提振了多只电力设备股。燃料电池能源去年曾裁员22%，作为全球重组计划的一部分，目标是将运营费用较上年削减30%。
公司重申了此前公布的目标：在2027年第四季度实现调整后核心利润转正。分析人士称，任命拉蒂诺表明董事会在公司冲刺该目标之际聚焦财务纪律。
FuelCell Energy Names Matthew Latino CFO Effective Oct. 7
DANBURY, Conn. — FuelCell Energy on Wednesday named Matthew Latino as chief financial officer, effective Oct. 7, 2026, succeeding finance chief Michael Bishop as part of a planned leadership transition, Reuters reported.
Bishop, who has spent more than two decades at the company, will remain as a senior adviser through FuelCell Energy's 2027 annual shareholder meeting to support the transition. Latino joins from Xylem, where he served as senior vice president of finance and segment CFO for its Measurement & Control Solutions business, bringing experience in industrial finance and operational turnarounds.
Shares of the Danbury, Connecticut-based company fell nearly 7% in premarket trade on the news, reflecting investor unease about the clean-energy sector's difficult year. FuelCell Energy, which makes fuel cell power plants that generate electricity through an electrochemical process, has struggled with high costs and uneven demand.
The company said it expects growth to be supported by increasing demand for reliable, around-the-clock power from AI and data center infrastructure — a theme that has lifted many power equipment stocks. FuelCell Energy laid off 22% of its workforce last year as part of a global restructuring plan to reduce operating expenses by 30% from a year earlier.
The company reaffirmed its previously announced goal of achieving positive adjusted core profit in the fourth quarter of 2027. Analysts said Latino's appointment signals the board's focus on financial discipline as the company works toward that target.
