  • Second-quarter revenue rose 165.5%, while gross margin reached 33.4%.

Stock chart for NYSE:BE

The stock remained 42.1% below its $351.28 yearly high. That drawdown persists even after quarterly revenue surged 165.5% and management doubled its annual growth outlook.

The tension is valuation. Bloom’s estimated $59.9 billion market value equals about 14.8 times the midpoint of its 2026 revenue guidance. Fast growth is already assumed.

Monday’s early range was wide. Bloom opened at $191.98, touched $185.93, then recovered above Friday’s $201.45 close. The intraday reversal shows buyers remain active.

“Bloom is now a standard for AI onsite power,” Chief Executive KR Sridhar said. He cited approval by major U.S. hyperscalers and more than a dozen other AI operators.

Management raised 2026 revenue guidance to $3.9 billion to $4.2 billion. It also projected about 34% non-GAAP gross margin and $2.55 to $2.85 of adjusted earnings per share.

Financing capacity supports the demand story. Brookfield Asset Management expanded its AI-power framework with Bloom to $25 billion from $5 billion in June.

RBC Capital Markets analysts called that amount “larger than expectations.” Bloom has also deployed systems with American Electric Power , Equinix and Oracle Corporation . Reuters

Analysts still lean positive. Fifteen of 29 ratings are Buy or Strong Buy, while twelve are Hold. The target range stretches from $97 to $390, showing unusually broad uncertainty.

Risks: AI data-center delays, financing constraints, supply shortages or weaker margins could compress the multiple. Faster deployments and sustained cash generation could instead revive momentum.

The near-term test is $200. Holding that level would preserve Monday’s reversal. A renewed break lower would keep the valuation debate ahead of the growth evidence.

AI power funding

Brookfield framework$25B
Prior framework$5B

The fivefold expansion supports deployments, but it is a financing framework rather than recognized Bloom revenue.

Customers include major hyperscalers, neoclouds, AI labs and colocation operators.

Why the stock is moving

Up today: buyers defended $200 after a deep early dip, while Q2 growth and the AI-power backlog remain intact.

Still under pressure: the shares trade at a demanding sales multiple after a large run, so investors are taking profits and demanding proof that orders become cash.
