The brokerage raised its price target to $240 from $218, implying about 2% upside from current levels, while maintaining a 'Hold' rating. The firm said Bloom's valuation already reflects much of its long-term growth opportunity. Its higher target reflects stronger near-term demand growth and expectations that increased equipment content per site will lift average selling prices. Analysts expect third-quarter revenue to rise about 104% to $1.06 billion from $519.05 million a year earlier, with adjusted EPS increasing to $0.70 from $0.15, according to Fiscal.ai. EBITDA is projected to hit $249.29 million, compared with $59.26 million a year earlier. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, analysts expect revenue to rise 0.6% to about $1.07 billion, while adjusted EPS falls about 14% to $0.67, according to Koyfin. EBITDA is expected to fall 5.1% to $240.55 million. Bloom reported its first billion-dollar revenue last quarter, posting sales of $1.065 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.78. It also raised its full-year outlook to revenue of $3.9 billion to $4.2 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.55 to $2.85. Big tech's power needs keep Bloom in focus. Bloom's fuel cells let data-center operators add on-site power quickly as demand for AI computing grows.
