Aptos Network experienced a network snag that lasted for more than five hours Wednesday, Oct. 18.
What Happened: According to <a href="https://decrypt.co/202340/aptos-hit-5-hour-outage-blockchains-first-birthday">Decrypt</a>, ythe outage occurred while the network hosted a mass drawing application to celebrate its one-year anniversary and trended the Aptos One hashtag on social media platforms.

Why It Matters: Aptos is a venture capital-backed project launched in October 2022 and built by former Meta employees&#39; crypto project Libra. The mainnet is yet to deliver its promised speed of up to 160,000 transactions per second (TPS) compared to 55.47 TPS currently implying 302.7 million transactions, based on <a href="https://aptoscan.com/">Aptoscan data</a>.
The outage led to a rise in Aptos&rsquo;s transaction fees from around 0.2 APT worth $1 to 1.72 APT worth $8.58 when the shutdown happened. Cryptocurrency exchanges, Upbit and OKX halted deposits and withdrawals of Aptos Network tokens on their platforms for a brief period.
Price Action: At 7:20 ET, the price of the APT token dropped to $4.84 (its 24-hour low point) and then managed to recover to currently trade at $5. With a current market cap of $1.22 billion, the past 24-hours trading volume stands at $68.1 million, based on CoinGecko data. &nbsp;

New York Gov.&nbsp;Kathy Hochul urged school districts to cancel outdoor activities Wednesday because of poor air quality driven by Canadian wildfires. Hochul noted that several districts had already canceled activities in an effort to keep students safe from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/23/06/32758785/detroit-and-new-yorks-air-quality-plunge-to-dangerous-levels-amid-canadian-wildfires">potentially harmful air</a>.
Poor air quality is hazardous, especially so for young children, elderly people and those&nbsp;with asthma or other respiratory problems. Many local officials are urging people in general to limit their time outside.&nbsp;
How NYC Ranks:&nbsp;The entire skyline of New York City is surrounded by an orange, yellowish glow that looks like it would fit right into a movie about a dystopian future. In fact, according to the<a href="https://www.iqair.com/us/world-air-quality-ranking" style="text-decoration-line:none"> IQAir World Air </a>Quality Index, New York City has the worst air quality in the world Wednesday with a rating of 355. The 355 rating is considered &quot;hazardous.&quot;&nbsp;
The next cities with the poorest air quality are Dubai, United Arab Emirates with a 167 air quality index and Lahore, Pakistan at 163.&nbsp;
Another Use For N95s:&nbsp;Many people in New York City are breaking out their old COVID-19 masks to help them fight the poor air quality. Companies like 3M Co (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mmm#NYSE">MMM</a>) and Alpha Pro Tech (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/apt#NYSE">APT</a>) that produce masks and other protective equipment could benefit if the wildfires and smoke persist.&nbsp;
Flight Delays:&nbsp;The smoke has gotten so bad that airports in New York are delaying or canceling flights because of poor visibility. According to flight-tracking site Flight Aware, more than 1,600 flights have been delayed from LaGuardia and other area airports.
Airline stocks were largely unaffected by the delays and cancellations, with the US Global Jets ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jets#NYSE">JETS</a>) trading up slightly Wednesday afternoon.&nbsp;
What&#39;s Next:&nbsp;Other cities and states are affected by the smoky air, including Detroit, Michigan and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.&nbsp;
While it&rsquo;s unclear exactly how long the smoke will&nbsp;impact air quality, some experts believe that it could take a while. The Weather Channel&rsquo;s Stephanie Abrams told viewers to expect smoke to remain through at least Saturday.

Los Angeles Again Nearing Covid Thresholds For Universal Indoor Mask Mandate In Public Spaces

With FuelCell Energy's (FCEL) underperformance in the last quarter, does the outlook for its game plan appear to improve with the upcoming fourth-quarter earnings? Let's find out… On December 19, FuelCell Energy, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/FCEL/">FCEL</a>) is scheduled to release its financial results for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. Wall Street expects the company to post a loss per share of $0.09 for the quarter. The company's revenue is projected to decline by 34.8% year-over-year, reaching $25.56 million.
Looking back, in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, reported revenues saw a decline compared to the same prior year period. This was mainly due to lower product revenues from the absence of module sales, contrasting with robust sales of replacement modules to Korea Fuel Cell Co., Ltd. (KFC).
Moreover, the company witnessed a gross loss of $8.22 million, marking an increase from $4.18 million in the comparable prior-year quarter. This escalation is attributed to the absence of module sales during the quarter, in contrast to the third quarter of fiscal 2022, which had benefited from favorable product margins due to module sales to KFC.
Furthermore, the company's escalated spending on research and development, particularly in advancing solid oxide power generation, electrolysis platforms, and carbon separation solutions, holds implications for its future. The heightened financial commitment could impact short-term profitability, requiring careful management and strategic planning to mitigate potential downsides.
That being said, over the past three months, 16 insider trading sells occurred, involving <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/fcel/insider-activity">378,102 shares</a>. Additionally, in the last 12 months, 20 insider trading sells took place, with 617,014 shares being sold. Shares of FCEL have plunged 58.5% over the past year to close the last trading session at $1.54.
Here are the financial aspects of FCEL that could influence its performance in the near term:
Weak Last Reported Financials
For the third quarter that ended July 31, 2023, FCEL's total revenues decreased 40.8% year-over-year to $25.51 million. Its adjusted EBITDA loss widened 52.2% from the year-ago value to $31.61 million. Also, its loss from operations worsened 47.9% from the prior year's period to $41.40 million.
In addition, <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/netloss.asp">net loss</a> attributable to FCEL and loss per share came in at $24.28 million and $0.06, respectively.
Unoptimistic Analyst Estimates
The consensus revenue estimate of $126.07 million for the fiscal year ended October 2023 reflects a 3.4% year-over-year decline. Moreover, the company is expected to report a loss per share of $0.28 for the same quarter.
Stretched Valuation
In terms of forward EV/Sales, FCEL is trading at 3.93x, 119.4% higher than the industry average of 1.79x. In addition, its forward Price/Sales of 5.50x is 294.1% higher than the 1.40x industry average.
Lower-Than-Industry Profitability
The stock's trailing-12-month gross profit margin of negative 15.03% compares to the industry average of 30.28%. In addition, its trailing-12-month EBITDA margin and trailing-12-month net income margin of 82.50% and negative 85.40% compare with the industry averages of 13.66% and 6.09%, respectively.
POWR Ratings Exhibit Bleak Prospects
FCEL's poor outlook is apparent in its <a href="https://stocknews.com/powr-ratings/">POWR Ratings</a>. The stock has an overall rating of F, which translates to a Strong Sell in our proprietary rating system. The POWR Ratings are calculated by taking into account 118 different factors, with each factor weighted to an optimal degree.

Bottom Line
FCEL recorded a dip in revenues, amplified gross loss, and elevated expenditures in its last quarter. In addition, the stock now trades at an elevated valuation compared to its peers, displaying low profitability and stability, along with an unfavorable earnings outlook. Thus, it could be wise to steer clear of FCEL for the time being.
