Growth & Insights and Company News

-3%Bloom Energy shares trade at 177.5 times adjusted earnings for the past twelve months. Against consensus profit forecasts, the multiple falls to 114.5 times for fiscal 2026 and 63.0 times for fiscal 2027. Buyers are betting on higher sales and fatter margins. Analysts expect revenue to grow 67.4% from fiscal 2026 to fiscal 2027, and net income to rise 81.7%. Revenue already jumped 91.0% over the past twelve months, and the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was the first with more than $1 billion in revenue, driven by data centre deliveries. On July 28, 2026, the company raised its fiscal 2026 revenue outlook to a midpoint of $4.05 billion. Margin is the likeliest miss. Net margin was 7.2% in fiscal 2025, but consensus needs 16.0% in fiscal 2026 and 17.3% in fiscal 2027. Project delays or slower AI spending could also push sales into later periods.
Bloom Energy and NextEra Energy offer investors very different bets on clean power, according to a comparison of their FY 2025 results. Bloom, which makes on-site fuel cell systems for data centres, grew revenue 37.3% to nearly $2.0 billion. It posted a net loss of about $88.4 million and free cash flow of roughly $57.2 million. NextEra, which runs Florida Power & Light and a large renewables business, reported revenue of about $27.5 billion, up 11%. Net income was nearly $6.8 billion, and free cash flow was almost $3.2 billion. NextEra trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 19.1x against Bloom's 107.9x, and pays a 3.2% dividend. Bloom pays none.
Bloom Energy's stock has fallen 20% or more five times since September 2025. It recovered from four of those drops within about a month, but not the latest. Shares closed at a record $345.85 on June 22, then fell 53% to $163.75 by July 29. They have since risen about 71% to roughly $280, still about 19% below the peak. The slide came despite record results. Second-quarter revenue rose 166% year over year to about $1.07 billion, the first time the fuel cell maker passed $1 billion in a quarter. It raised its 2026 adjusted earnings-per-share forecast from $1.33-$1.48 in February to $2.55-$2.85. Valuation and short seller claims may explain the lag. Hunterbrook Media, which said it could profit from a fall in the stock, questioned Bloom's accounting and supply of scandium oxide on July 8. Bloom "categorically rejects" the claims.
Bloom Energy's stock has risen more than 200% since last October and over 1,400% in five years. The company sells solid oxide fuel cells that generate power on site at data centres, letting AI developers skip long waits for a grid connection. Second-quarter product revenue hit $935 million, up about 215% year over year. Total revenue passed $1 billion for the first time, while operating expenses rose only to about $173 million from $111 million. Bloom swung from a $3.5 million operating loss to a $182 million operating profit. About 73% of revenue came from a single buyer, which could make growth less durable. Bloom plans a microgrid at the Fremont, California, campus of server maker miTAC Computing. The deal hints at expansion beyond data centres into the wider AI supply chain.
