Shares of Bloom Energy (BE) climbed 13.0% on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, outpacing a 1.3% gain for the S&P 500. The earnings calendar showed no Bloom Energy report around the move. US stocks advanced that day after CoreWeave, a cloud provider at the center of worries about AI, posted earnings that met expectations. So why would a cloud provider's quarter lift a maker of fuel cells?

Bloom Energy Sells Power To Data Center Builders

Bloom Energy manufactures fuel cells that generate electricity on site for customers including data centers. During its October 22 call, management said its fuel cells for Nebius in New Jersey had the first block of power ready two months after planning approvals. Executives added that the company's business with data centers is robust and growing rapidly.

Through that business, Bloom Energy is tied to AI spending. On November 11, CoreWeave's earnings update eased worries that AI profits would not come soon enough to cover the debt taken on to build AI infrastructure, and its upbeat outlook was reported to have helped calm nerves around Bloom Energy too. The company's own sales have been rising fast: revenue in fiscal Q3 2026, the quarter ended September 30, was $1.24 billion, up 138.1% from a year earlier.

Did Bloom Energy Rise With Electrical Equipment Stocks?

Yes, but by far more. Most of the electrical components and equipment GICS sub-industry advanced as well, with 14 of the 17 other companies worth $2 billion or more posting gains. Their median gain was 1.5%. The industrials sector fund, XLI, rose 1.3%, matching the S&P 500.

Where Does Bloom Energy Stock Stand Now?

A rise of this size is not rare for Bloom Energy. The stock climbed at least this much in 8 sessions over the prior 365 days. The most recent move this large went the other way, marked by a 16.4% fall on November 5.

Over twelve months, the stock returned 50.4%, against 12.8% for the S&P 500. Performance over the past half-year has gone the other direction. You would have lost 27.7% in the six months to November 11, while the S&P 500 gained 2.9%. In the month from October 13 alone, the stock fell 20.5%, against a 2.3% fall for the S&P 500.

At $209.47, the November 11 close sits well below the 52-week closing high of $345.85 set on June 22, 2026. It remains far above the 52-week closing low of $76.97 from December 17, 2025.

The stock trades at 16.1 times Bloom Energy's sales over the past twelve months, against 3.2 times for the S&P 500. Full-year revenue is the measure to watch when Bloom Energy reports its fourth-quarter results, expected in February 2027. Management guided that figure to $4.4 billion to $4.6 billion on its October 22 call.
