Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE: BE) is back in the spotlight today, 25 November 2025, after Bank of America raised its price target on the fuel‑cell and AI‑power favorite — while still warning that the stock could fall sharply from here.
As of the latest trade on Tuesday, Bloom Energy shares were changing hands at around $92.50, down roughly 3.2% on the day and off yesterday’s close of $95.56. StockInvest
That move comes on the heels of a stunning rally: the stock is still up roughly 300–330% year‑to‑date in 2025, fuelled by its positioning as a key supplier of power systems for AI data centers. TradingView
Below is a breakdown of what changed today, what analysts are saying, and what investors are watching next.
Bloom Energy stock today: price action and key metrics
- Latest price (Nov 25, 2025): about $92.50 per share.
- Day move: roughly ‑3.2% versus Monday’s close of $95.56. StockInvest
- 52‑week range: approximately $15.15 (low) to $147.86 (high). MarketBeat
- Market capitalization: around $22–23 billion based on recent prices and share count. MarketBeat
- Valuation: trailing P/E near 500 on MarketBeat data, with some data providers flagging far higher effective multiples depending on methodology; EV/EBITDA is also described as unusually elevated. MarketBeat
- Balance sheet: liquidity ratios remain strong (current ratio around 4.4, quick ratio near 2.9), but the company has meaningful leverage, with a debt‑to‑equity ratio just under 2x. MarketBeat
In other words, Bloom is still trading like a high‑growth tech name rather than a traditional industrial — and that’s exactly what today’s analyst chatter is focused on.
Bank of America lifts target to $39 but still sees ~59% downside
The headline move on 25 November is Bank of America’s price‑target hike on Bloom Energy:
- New target:$39 per share (up from $26). TradingView
- Rating:“Underperform” unchanged. TradingView
- Implied downside: roughly 59% below the prior close around $95.56. TradingView
According to Reuters and multiple analyst‑summary sites, Bank of America’s research team: TradingView
- Now models about 40% compound annual growth in deployed megawatts through 2028, reflecting booming AI‑related power demand.
- Argues that maintaining that pace beyond 2027 would require a step‑change in new project awards, introducing substantial execution risk.
- Notes that Bloom’s balance sheet was bolstered by a large convertible‑note raise, giving management flexibility to fund capex and working capital.
- Still sees the risk/reward as negative at today’s prices given how much future growth is already baked into the valuation.
Investing.com adds that the new target comes as Bank of America acknowledges better execution and strong revenue growth, but highlights that Bloom trades on very high P/E and EV/EBITDA multiples relative to both clean‑energy and tech peers. Investing.com
MarketBeat’s instant alert distills the Street view this way: Bloom Energy beats earnings, but consensus rating remains “Hold” with an average target in the mid‑$90s — roughly in line with where the stock traded before today’s pullback — and analysts still expect a slight loss for the full year on a GAAP basis. MarketBeat
Strong Q3 results and AI data‑center momentum
Today’s debate comes against a backdrop of very strong fundamentals, at least on the top line. On 28 October 2025, Bloom reported record third‑quarter results: Bloomenergy
- Q3 2025 revenue: about $519 million, up 57% year‑on‑year.
- Gross margin: improved to roughly 29.2% (about 30% on a non‑GAAP basis), up several points from the prior year.
- Non‑GAAP operating margin: close to 9%, versus low‑single‑digits a year ago.
- Non‑GAAP EPS: around $0.15, versus a slight loss per share in Q3 2024.
- GAAP bottom line: still a net loss of roughly $23 million (about ‑$0.10 per share), highlighting that the company is not yet consistently profitable under GAAP.
Management tied those results directly to surging AI‑driven electricity demand. In its official release, Bloom emphasized that Q3 marked its fourth consecutive quarter of record revenue, with CEO KR Sridhar describing the company as being at the center of a “once‑in‑a‑generation” opportunity to reshape how power is generated for mission‑critical infrastructure like data centers and semiconductor fabs. Bloomenergy
A number of third‑party write‑ups note that: Alphaspread
- Bloom shares soared after Q3 earnings, at one point spiking roughly 20–25% as investors reacted to revenue growth and upgraded full‑year guidance.
- A $5 billion AI infrastructure partnership with Brookfield Asset Management was a major catalyst, positioning Bloom as a preferred onsite power provider for AI‑heavy facilities.
- Earlier this year, Bloom also announced deals to supply power to Oracle AI data centers, reinforcing the theme that its solid‑oxide fuel‑cell systems are becoming a core part of the AI infrastructure story. Investing
Those same AI power deals, however, are part of why the stock has become so controversial.
From AI darling to volatile high‑beta trade
Just a few weeks ago, Bloom Energy was being celebrated as one of the market’s biggest AI winners, with its share price hitting record highs in early November. Yahoo Finance
Since then, the ride has been rough:
- On 21 November 2025, Bloom shares tumbled by double digits, leaving the stock more than 40% below its early‑month peak, according to a Motley Fool analysis republished by Nasdaq. Nasdaq
- That piece describes Bloom as an “AI power darling” that has suddenly “come back down to earth” as investors rotate out of higher‑risk growth stories and question whether the billions now being raised will generate adequate returns. Nasdaq
- TipRanks today characterizes the stock’s recent moves as “turbulence”, attributing the swings to a mix of strong revenue growth, a larger net loss versus last year, heavy insider selling, and divided analyst opinions. TipRanks
Several earlier downgrades set the stage for today’s more cautious tone:
- Jefferies (Sept 24) cut Bloom to “Underperform” with a $31 target, warning of over 60% downside from then‑current levels and arguing that expectations after the Oracle deal had become “over‑exuberant.” Investing
- Zacks Research (Nov 5) lowered its view from “Strong Buy” to “Hold”, even as it noted the 57% revenue growth and consensus‑beating Q3 results. MarketBeat
- Mizuho (Oct 2) shifted from “Outperform” to “Neutral”, flagging concerns about how quickly Bloom can scale internal production capacity to meet huge AI‑related demand. Sherwood News
More recently, a Seeking Alpha analysis argued that “AI monetization is here, but upside is mostly priced in,” while a German‑language “reality check” piece published today stresses that Bloom’s valuation has “detached from fundamentals” even after Q3’s strong performance. Seeking Alpha
Fresh signals from institutional ownership and insider activity
Today’s flow of news isn’t just about price targets. MarketBeat also highlighted a new institutional‑ownership filing from DNB Asset Management AS: MarketBeat
- DNB trimmed its Bloom stake by about 8% in Q2, selling more than 11,000 shares.
- It now holds roughly 129,000 shares, valued at just over $3 million, representing about 0.06% of the company.
- The article also notes that around 77% of Bloom’s stock is held by institutions and hedge funds, underscoring how widely owned the name has become among professional investors.
Insider activity has also been running hot:
- Over the past three months, insiders have sold roughly 280,000–300,000 shares, worth in the mid‑tens of millions of dollars, according to filings summarized by MarketBeat. MarketBeat
- Notable transactions include multi‑million‑dollar sales by senior executives and directors, though these trades come after a massive share‑price run‑up and may partly reflect diversification rather than a change in outlook.
For some investors, heavy insider selling around new highs is a yellow flag; for others, it’s a routine response to a stock that has multiplied in a short period of time.
The valuation debate: growth story vs. execution risk
Across today’s coverage, one theme repeats: valuation.
- Reuters notes that Bank of America’s new $39 target still implies about 59% downside, even after the rally cooled, and that the median analyst target sits well above that level, highlighting how divided the Street is. TradingView
- Investing.com’s breakdown emphasizes that Bloom trades at lofty earnings and cash‑flow multiples, with EV/EBITDA metrics far above sector norms, even after factoring in robust growth forecasts. Investing.com
- Several independent platforms, including StockInvest.us and WallStreetZen, also flag the name as overvalued on quantitative screens, despite still‑positive technical trends. StockInvest
- Ad‑hoc‑News today goes even further, calling downside risk “substantial” and warning that current prices assume growth the company has “yet to demonstrate” it can deliver. Ad Hoc News
At the same time, the bull case remains straightforward: Forbes
- Demand for reliable, low‑carbon power for AI data centers, cloud campuses, and advanced manufacturing is exploding.
- Bloom’s technology is already deployed at scale, and Q3 showed rapid revenue growth, improving margins, and repeated record quarters.
- Big‑ticket partnerships with names like Brookfield and Oracle give the story real industrial heft, not just hype.
The bear case, reflected in today’s cautious analyst commentary, centers on: TipRanks
- Whether AI‑related capex and data‑center build‑outs will continue at the same breakneck pace.
- Execution risk: can Bloom manufacture, install, and finance enough systems, fast enough, without eroding margins?
- The impact of convertible‑note financing and potential future capital raises on existing shareholders.
- The possibility that high expectations plus high multiples could mean sharp drawdowns if growth slows or orders disappoint.
What investors are watching next
Based on today’s research updates and recent company disclosures, key catalysts for Bloom Energy stock over the coming months include:
- Q4 backlog and booking metrics
- Bank of America explicitly points to fourth‑quarter backlog data as the next major test of whether AI‑driven demand is truly matching the “splashy headlines.” Investing.com
- Updates on AI infrastructure projects
- Any new details on the $5 billion Brookfield partnership, expansions of the Oracle relationship, or additional hyperscale data‑center deals could shift sentiment quickly. Renewables Now
- Financing structure and balance‑sheet strategy
- Investors are still digesting the $2.2 billion zero‑coupon convertible notes due 2030 and a potential $600 million revolving credit facility, both highlighted in recent coverage. Investing.com
- The trade‑off between growth funding and shareholder dilution will be a recurring theme.
- Regulatory and policy environment
- Shifts in US energy and climate policy, especially around tax credits and incentives for low‑carbon power, remain important tailwinds or headwinds for Bloom and its peers. Reuters
- Broader AI and growth‑stock sentiment
- As Friday’s sharp sell‑off showed, Bloom’s share price is now tightly linked not just to its own execution, but to market appetite for AI‑linked growth stories in general. Nasdaq
Bottom line
For 25 November 2025, the story around Bloom Energy stock is less about new fundamentals and more about how to value them:
- On one side, you have rapidly rising revenue, high‑profile AI power deals, and improving margins.
- On the other, you have stretched valuation multiples, insider selling, heavy recent volatility, and several high‑profile downgrades that frame Bloom as a stock where expectations may have outpaced reality.
Bank of America’s move today — raising the target to $39 while still warning of nearly 60% downside — captures that tension in a single line. For now, Bloom Energy remains one of 2025’s most dramatic AI‑related stock stories, and also one of its most hotly debated. TradingView
