Bloom Energy stock price drops 9% as Wall Street questions AI payback ahead of CPI
Bloom Energy shares fell 9.2% to $141.21 by 2:05 p.m. ET Thursday, reversing early gains as tech stocks slid ahead of Friday’s U.S. CPI report. Trading topped 10 million shares, with the stock swinging between $160.20 and $136.60. Other fuel-cell makers also declined. Investors weighed Bloom’s $6 billion backlog and 2026 revenue forecast against uncertainty over AI spending and Fed rate expectations.
