Bloom Energy stock drops 3% — BlackRock’s 9.4% stake and Feb. 5 earnings now in focus

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 21:03 EST — The market has closed.

Bloom Energy’s stock dropped 3.3% Thursday, ending at $145.63 after moving between $154.76 and $141.86 during the session. Roughly 8.3 million shares changed hands. (StockAnalysis)

The move comes as U.S. markets are closed, leaving investors eager for fresh data to either steady the stock or shake it up further. Ownership updates and the upcoming earnings report are now the key events on their radar.

BlackRock disclosed owning 22.35 million shares of Bloom Energy’s Class A stock in a Schedule 13G/A filing on Wednesday, accounting for 9.4% of the company as of Dec. 31, 2025. The filing, signed by managing director Spencer Fleming, stated the shares were held “in the ordinary course of business” and not to influence control. (SEC)

The Kuwait Investment Authority and its London branch disclosed owning 3,253,330 Bloom shares—equal to 1.38%—in an amended filing dated Jan. 19. Schedule 13G forms are generally filed by passive investors, not those seeking to influence management. (SEC)

This is significant for a stock that attracts heavy capital and volatile swings. While disclosures alone don’t account for daily price changes, they reveal the portion held by institutions poised to adjust their risk exposure rapidly.

Fuel-cell stocks climbed on Thursday. FuelCell Energy added 6.1%, closing at $9.92, and Plug Power surged 16.7% to $2.59, highlighting how sentiment and investor positioning continue to drive this sector. (StockAnalysis)

Bloom stands out as one of the cleaner bets in the rush for dependable on-site power, especially for heavy energy users. Earlier this month, American Electric Power locked in a $2.65 billion deal for Bloom fuel cells, activating an option from a prior agreement. (Reuters)

But the situation is double-edged. While a star-studded shareholder roster and major contract announcements boost confidence, they also set lofty expectations — missing the mark on deliveries, margins, or schedules could slam the stock, particularly if overall risk appetite wanes.

Investors are shifting their focus to Bloom’s Q4 results, due Feb. 5 after the market closes, with a conference call scheduled for 5:00 p.m. ET to shed light on demand and execution. (Bloom Energy)
