In short

Thesis
Investors pay a very high multiple for Bloom's fast growth in power for AI data centers, and only strong orders and margins after 2026 can support this price.
Gap
Can close. The Q4 2026 report and the first 2027 outlook, expected in February 2027, show whether data center orders keep growing after 2026.

Company guidance: 2026 revenue of $4.4 to $4.6 billion, non-GAAP gross margin of about 34% and non-GAAP EPS of $3.10 to $3.40 (, Q3 2026 earnings release (8-K))

Price history

About

Bloom Energy Corporation (Bloom) makes a solid oxide fuel cell platform that supplies reliable on-site power. Its fuel cell systems, which it calls Energy Servers, make electricity where the customer uses it. Bloom sells them to data centers, utilities and commercial and industrial customers, and it also earns revenue from service, installation and electricity. Revenue was $2.02 billion in 2025 and $1,235.8 million in Q3 2026, of which product revenue was $1,073.6 million.

Demand from AI data centers drives much of the recent growth. Bloom has a partnership with Oracle to supply on-site power for AI data centers, and joint ventures with Brookfield Asset Management that buy Bloom systems. In Q3 2026, two customers gave about 43% and 26% of revenue. The Class A shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange, and Bloom joined the S&P 500 in 2026.

The head office is in San Jose, California. KR Sridhar founded the company in 2001 and is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Thesis

Investors pay a very high multiple for Bloom because its revenue more than doubled in 2026 with demand for power at AI data centers. Bloom expects revenue of $4.4 billion to $4.6 billion in 2026, against $2.02 billion in 2025, and its non-GAAP operating margin rose to 23.1% in Q3 2026. For this price to hold, three things must be true. Orders from data centers and other customers must keep growing after 2026, also if AI spending slows.

Bloom must add factory capacity fast and keep its non-GAAP gross margin near 34%. And a small number of large customers and partners, such as Oracle and the Brookfield joint ventures, must keep buying. The Q4 2026 report and the first 2027 outlook, expected in February 2027, are the next test. A slower year can lower the multiple fast.

Risks

  • Much of the demand comes from AI data centers. If AI spending or data center financing slows, orders can fall fast. Two customers gave about 43% and 26% of revenue in Q3 2026.
  • Bloom must expand its factories fast. Delays, supply limits or product problems can delay deliveries and increase costs. At September 30, 2026, its warranty reserve included a specific reserve of $42.5 million.
  • Gas turbines, engines, batteries and power from the grid compete with Bloom's systems. Lower prices from competitors or faster grid connections can reduce demand.
  • A short seller published a report in July 2026 that questioned Bloom's accounting and supply chain. Bloom rejects it, but such reports cause large changes in the share price.
  • Non-GAAP results do not include stock-based compensation, which was $60.1 million in Q3 2026. The 0% convertible notes can convert into a maximum of 19,554,000 shares.
  • Tax credits, air permits and trade policies, including tariffs, affect the cost and the timing of projects.
