New York, Jan 23, 2026, 15:00 (EST) — Regular session
Shares of Bloom Energy Corp (BE) dropped 2.9%, closing at $141.41 Friday afternoon. The stock fluctuated between $138.02 and $148.10 earlier in the session.
The pullback is significant because Bloom has become a quick barometer for one key issue: how fast major power consumers, particularly data centers, can secure steady electricity as grid upgrades fall behind. This connection has drawn more short-term traders to the stock, making analyst adjustments hit the price more sharply than before.
Clear Street’s Tim Moore lifted his price target on Bloom Energy Corp. to $80 from $68, maintaining a Hold rating ahead of the upcoming earnings. In his note, Moore highlighted a stronger-than-expected impact from American Electric Power’s Wyoming order, now forecasting BE could deliver around 500 MW of fuel cells at that site. 1
Bloom said it plans to release its fourth-quarter 2025 results on Feb. 5, after the market closes, followed by a conference call at 5 p.m. ET. Investors will be focused on updates regarding order timing, profit margins, and any revisions to management’s guidance. 2
On Jan. 21, a Schedule 13G/A filing revealed that the Kuwait Investment Authority, representing the Government of the State of Kuwait, held 3,253,330 shares—or 1.38%—as of Jan. 19. Schedule 13G filings are used by passive investors to disclose significant ownership stakes. 3
The stock move unfolded amid a volatile trading session. The Dow slipped Friday, dragged down by Intel’s disappointing forecast, while the S&P 500 lacked a clear trend. 4
Plug Power dipped 4.6%, FuelCell Energy gained roughly 2%, while Ballard Power held steady.
That said, the downside scenario is straightforward. If customer projects stall, permitting drags on, or capex plans slow down, shipments could be pushed back — and a stock priced for momentum usually punishes any delays.
Traders are now watching to see if Bloom can turn the buzz around large orders into consistent deliveries without sacrificing margin. Changes in short-term cash flow will be key too, particularly with interest rates remaining elevated compared to recent levels.
The broader market braces for a new macro trigger next week as the Federal Reserve convenes on Jan. 27–28. For Bloom, the spotlight’s already shifting to Feb. 5. 5
