Bloom Energy Drops Below $100 as AI Data‑Center Timeline Drives Outlook

Investor focus has shifted to financing certainty plus partner follow‑through.

Overview

  • Shares have fallen more than 40% from a 52‑week high of $147.86 to roughly $82, extending a volatile pullback from a huge 2025 run.
  • The growth thesis centers on Bloom’s solid oxide fuel cells providing on‑site, 24/7 power for AI data centers facing grid constraints.
  • Recent results show record quarterly revenue for four straight quarters, margin expansion year over year, and positive operating cash flow in Q3 2025.
  • Sentiment was hurt by Blue Owl Capital withdrawing as a key financier for an Oracle data‑center project in Michigan, raising schedule and funding questions.
  • Outlook for 2026 hinges on the pace of AI infrastructure build‑outs, with competition from FuelCell Energy and advanced nuclear developers, and a reported Brookfield investment plan that remains unconfirmed in public reporting.
