Bloom Energy Climbs 15% on Rate-Cut Hopes and Data-Center Demand

Overview

  • The stock rose 15.21% to close at $118.09 on Thursday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
  • Futures markets point to a high probability of a rate cut next week, a shift investors say would ease the cost of carrying Bloom's growth plans.
