Live: Will Bloom Energy Soar After Earnings Tonight?

Well, we called it, Bloom shares are now down 2%.

Sell it off 40% tomorrow for all I care, would love to pick up shares on such an exceptional company at a massive discount.

Just remarkable – while every hyperscaler is increasing capex estimates 15% to 30% over already hyper bullish estimates, the reaction is to sell off suppliers?

I’m happy to take the opposite side of this bet as the dust clears.

It’s an incredibly tough market for growth stocks, so its not ‘surprising’ that Bloom’s gains are fading.

The company’s call is still on going, but there was just a massive drop in Bloom’s share price.

It’s hard to say what caused it, there was a question about Oracle warrants (and Oracle is currently absolutely toxic in the market), so maybe the market didn’t like that.

Yesterday American Superconductor issued great earnings and was up 25% after-hours, by noon shares were negative. 

By the close they were down 6%.

After hours tonight they’re down another 3%.

It’s just the current market sentiment (panic?) that’s taken over. I’d be surprised to see Bloom’s shares in the green tomorrow morning.

That says less about their fantastic results and more about current sentiment.

Bloom’s conference call noted how demand is moving from California and the Northeast into new regions.

Of course, this speaks to rabid datacenter demand and the company’s shifting value proposition:

“The geographic mix of our U.S. backlog is noteworthy. 2 years ago, over 80% of our U.S. backlog was composed of installations in California and the Northeast, traditionally, the high cost of power states. But this year, over 80% of our backlog comes from other states with lower power costs. This geographic shift highlights 2 important dynamics at play: first, companies are locating factories and data centers in states where they can quickly secure reliable and affordable power either from the grid or on site.

The states where we are growing fastest, have robust natural gas infrastructure and favorable regulatory and policy frameworks for on-site power generation; second, in these states with lower power costs, Bloom is cost competitive, our value proposition, fast time to power, higher reliability and lower emissions strongly resonates for our customers.”

In short, Bloom Energy’s future is now in Texas.

Here’s what Bloom’s CEO had to say about AI demand on the start of the company’s conference call:

“Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us today. Bloom is rapidly becoming the standard for on-site power as evidenced by our excellent fourth quarter, capping our best year act. We delivered record revenue, gross margin and operating margin for the year. Our product backlog increased 140% year-over-year to about $6 billion. Our Service business has been profitable for 8 quarters in a row. And in the fourth quarter, we achieved 20% gross margin in Service with around $14 billion of Service backlog and a growing product backlog that is 100% attached to service.

Bloom is well positioned for durable growth in Service revenue and profits in the years ahead. Our growth has been fueled by seismic changes in customer attitudes towards power, Bring Your Own Power has become the mantra for data centers and power hungry factories. On-site power has moved from being a decision of last resort to a vital business necessity. This shift has led large power users to seek Bloom to fulfill their needs. Our demand from data center and commercial and industrial or C&I customers is secular and growing in 2026, we will further invest in our commercial team to capitalize on growing sales opportunities. 

AI is a huge tailwind for the power industry and a big catalyst for Bloom’s growth. The backlog we reported today includes half a dozen hyperscale and neo cloud end customers compared to just 1, a year ago. Bloom has a master contract structure to enable these customers to keep returning to us for repeat orders, much as we have expanded with our C&I customers. And we are also experiencing surging demand in our C&I business. C&I backlog grew over 135% year-over-year, and it consists of several verticals: telecom; manufacturing; logistics; retail; health care; and education; digitization; automation; electrification; and reshoring are driving C&I customers to seek on-site power. And our C&I sales pipeline is stronger than ever.”

Bloom Energy’s 8.8% after-hours surge following its Q4 earnings beat appears measured given the fundamentals. The company delivered $0.45 EPS versus $0.30 expected and $777.7M revenue versus $671.7M consensus—a significant 41% earnings beat paired with 16% revenue outperformance.

What justifies caution: The stock already rallied 44% over the past month and trades at 196x forward earnings, pricing in substantial growth. The broader clean energy sector (ICLN) has pulled back 2.2% this week, creating headwinds.

What supports the move: Management’s $3.1-3.3B revenue guidance for 2026 implies over 50% growth from the $2.02B FY2025 revenue. The $20B total backlog and $418M Q4 operating cash flow validate execution capability in AI infrastructure power demand.

The reaction appears rational, not euphoric—appropriate for a high-beta name delivering transformational guidance in a risk-off market.

[Estimates fetched from AlphaVantage]

Bloom issued full year guidance of $3.1 billion to $3.3 billion.

That is significantly ahead of Wall Street’s expectations of $2.57 billion.

Bloom Energy has to issue an absolutely massive beat to see gains as the market continues selling off any uncertainty this earnings season and the company delivered.

Shares were originally up 15% but have fallen back to about 10%.

We’ll post more thoughts on Bloom momentarily, simply leave this blog open to keep receiving updates as we scan their earnings. 

Bloom Energy just reported earnings. Here’s the headline figures:

• EPS:$.45
• Revenue: $777.7M

As a reminder, here’s what Wall Street expected:

• EPS: $.30
• Revenue: $645.3M

We’re still waiting on Bloom’s earnings. It’s worth noting that Super Micro had very delayed earnings this week and still issued a significant beat, so I wouldn’t read too much into the delay.

We’re still waiting for Bloom earnings and will update when they cross newswires.

We expect Bloom Energy earnings to drop shortly after the closing bell. Here’s what you need to do to get prepared:

• Know the numbers to watch: Wall Street expects revenue of $645 million and EPS of $.30.

Yesterday saw one of the largest momentum sell-offs of the 21st century as investors rotated out of risk.

The sell-off is continuing today. Bloom shares are down another 8.5% in late trading.

The message is pretty clear, Bloom will need to deliver exceptional earnings or could see a dramatic sell-off tomorrow. The market has been absolutely punishing growth stocks that deliver anything but perfection this past week.
