Bloom Energy: Pause Warranted

By -

Update - July 1, 2026

BAM agreeing to expand the partnership by $20B is just massive. BE ended down on the day due to irrational fears related to Meta Platforms (META) exploring entering the market to sell unused compute capacity. The market should fucus more on the demand for their data center power solution. 

-Bloom Energy (BE) up 12% post-market Tuesday after announcing an ​expansion of its partnership with Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) to finance power ‌projects for AI infrastructure from the previously announced $5B to $25B, a fivefold expansion since October 2025.
-The companies said the expanded partnership "reflects strong and sustained demand from hyperscalers and AI infrastructure developers for fast, reliable, and community-friendly power," as they continue to advance a new model for AI factories that integrates power, compute, data center infrastructure, and capital from the outset.

Finviz Chart


Originally posted on May 21

  • Bloom Energy has secured major AI data center contracts, including a $2.6B deal with Nebius and significant agreements with Oracle.
  • BE's Q1'26 revenues smashed estimates at $211M, with full-year guidance raised to ~$3.6B and capacity expansion plans supporting further growth.
  • Despite 80% forecasted growth and robust profitability, BE’s valuation is stretched at over $80B, trading near 10x sales for full sales potential on 2026 capacity.
  • I am shifting to a Neutral stance, recommending investors wait for a pullback before re-entering amid already priced-in aggressive growth and a topping stock chart.
Bloom Energy Corporation (BE) has jumped on more apparent customer contracts, but the stock hasn't eclipsed recent highs. The fuel cell company has seen the stock explode higher in the last year, leaving the stock valuation very stretched. My investment thesis is more Neutral on the stock after being bullish for 200% gains in months, warranting a pause.

Stat of the Day: VXO hits 45 again

By -
Not hardly a week removed from hitting 45 on 9/18/08 and the market is back to this extreme level. Usually hitting the 40 level has historically been a huge buy signal for at least the next 4-6 months. Below are the times that 40 has been hit and only 2 times did it exceed 45 in the prior 20+ years until this month. Guess time will tell if this one leads to a huge rally. Date High 10/19/1987 152.48 8/24/1990 40.01 10/27/1997 40.04 8/27/1998 41.46 4/14/2000 41.53 3/22/2001 41.99 9/17/2001 47.7 7/11/2002 41.64 9/18/2008 45.81

Update - Feb. 28, 2025 Nextdoor reported another strong quarter.  Q4 Revenue of $65.23M (+17.4% Y/Y)  beats by $2.11M . Adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million, compared to a $14.0 million loss in the year-ago period, reflecting 30 percentage points of year-over-year margin improvement. The social media company guided to weak Q1 results due to going full speed ahead with the NEXT UI updates. This is great news for  investors, but the stock is down some 30% due to the markets short-term focus.  The stock trades at near cash value of $427 million.  Originally posted on Nov. 8 Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one?

Snap: Exclusive Engagement Isn't Enough

By -
New report shows Snap has an exclusive user base. Snap must prove the business model though plenty of revenue upside exists with monetizing existing user base. Valuation is extremely stretched despite the opportunity to grow revenues due to unconstrained operating expenses. A new report backs the thesis that  Snap  ( SNAP ) has compelling user engagement that remains sticky. Unfortunately, user engagement is only one part of an investable business model that  my research  has questioned since the IPO. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha.  Disclosure: Long TWTR.
