Investment Highlights
Why It Matters
Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?
1. Generates cash flow
The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.
2. Riding a trend
Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved
Qualitative Assessment
AI Generated Analysis | Feedback
Here are the key points for why Bloom Energy's stock moved by 123% in the approximate time period from August 31, 2025, to December 5, 2025:
1. Bloom Energy secured significant strategic partnerships with major technology players to power AI data centers.
This includes a partnership with Oracle, where Bloom Energy is providing on-site power using its fuel cell technology for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure data centers. Additionally, in October 2025, Bloom Energy announced a $5 billion strategic partnership with Brookfield Asset Management to build AI infrastructure, positioning Bloom as the preferred on-site power provider for Brookfield's global AI factories. These collaborations are critical given the rapidly increasing electricity demand from AI and the need for reliable, scalable, and rapidly deployable power solutions.
2. The company reported strong financial results for its second and third quarters of 2025.
Bloom Energy surpassed analyst expectations in its Q2 2025 earnings (reported July 31, 2025), with an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.10 against a forecast of $0.01 and revenue reaching $401.2 million, exceeding projections. Building on this momentum, the company reported record third-quarter 2025 financial results on October 28, 2025, with revenue of $519.0 million, a 57.1% increase year-over-year, marking its fourth consecutive quarter of record revenue. The company also achieved significant improvements in operating income and non-GAAP gross margin.
