Can Bloom Energy Stock Jump 50%?
For questions about this article or underlying research, email help@trefis.com.
Bloom Energy (BE) stock gained 58.9% in the year to November 12, 2026, against 12.2% for the S&P 500. For the stock to rise 50% from here, you need data centers short of grid power to keep buying Bloom’s fuel cells. The shares have been higher. Their close of $345.85 on June 22, 2026 is 71.3% above the latest close. Could you have seen that demand coming before November 2025?
Bloom Energy Flagged Speed To Power In February 2025
Yes, if you were listening to management. During its call for the fourth quarter of 2024, held on February 27, 2025, management said that for many customers “the most important purchasing criteria, is time to power.” It also described its systems as a necessary supplement to the centralized grid and the choice for power deals where time is critical.
Management put that same need first on its October 22, 2026 call, when it said the grid is overwhelmed by the huge power needs of data centers. The company’s own account of why customers buy was therefore public long before November 2025, and it has not changed since.
That account was also public before most of the stock’s gain. The shares rose 563.2% between May 13 and November 11, 2025, so most of the rise that followed the February call came before the year measured here began.
Sales At Bloom Energy Grew Faster By October 2025
Growth did speed up, after a slow spring that gave a reader reason to doubt. Revenue grew 19.5% from a year earlier in the quarter ended June 30, 2025, down from 60.4% in the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Growth in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 had already slowed to 38.6%.
Growth then picked up to 57.1% in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, which Bloom filed on October 28, two weeks before November 11. Bloom also returned to an operating profit in that quarter, with a 1.5% operating margin after a loss in the June quarter.
One quarter of faster growth after two slower ones is a start, not a trend, and the profit was thin. A reader in early November 2025 had a reason to look closer, not proof.
Where Bloom Energy’s Sales And Shares Stand Now
Sales kept climbing through the year to November 2026, but the shares have given back part of the gain. Revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2026 was $1.24 billion, up 138.1% from a year earlier. Management said on the October 22 call that product revenue, the systems Bloom delivered, made up 87% of that total. Over the twelve months to September 30, 2026, Bloom’s operating margin was 14.8%, against 4.9% a year earlier.
Inside that year the stock also fell: it lost 33.4% over the six months to November 12, 2026, while the S&P 500 rose 1.8%. Cash flow was the weaker figure in the quarter just reported. Bloom’s operations used $27 million in the latest quarter as it built inventory and waited on customer payments, management said. At 114.8 times trailing earnings, against 21.9 for the S&P 500, buyers today are paying for growth still to come.
Management raised its 2026 revenue outlook to $4.4 billion to $4.6 billion on the same call, its third raise in 2026. It also said its backlog is growing faster than its revenue. So demand for fast power is still building on the company’s own account, while turning that demand into cash is less settled. Bloom’s 2026 revenue against that outlook, and its cash from operations, are the figures to watch when it reports, expected in February 2027.
