What Happened?
Shares of electricity generation and hydrogen production company Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) fell in the morning session after its partner, software company Oracle, reported disappointing quarterly results that sparked fears of a slowdown in the artificial intelligence sector.
Oracle's stock fell sharply after its revenues did not grow as fast as analysts had hoped, despite major efforts in AI. This negative sentiment dragged down Bloom Energy's stock. The two companies are linked because Oracle had previously announced it would rely on Bloom's fuel cells to power its data centers, a deal that had initially boosted investor confidence in Bloom Energy.

What Is The Market Telling Us
Bloom Energy’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 79 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 9 days ago when the stock gained 9.2% on the news that the company benefited from optimistic market sentiment, driven by its exposure to the power-hungry AI data center industry and a broader recovery in the renewable energy sector. The stock rose amid investor focus on the company's ability to meet the surging electricity demand from AI and cloud services. Bloom's fuel cell systems offered a way to quickly provide reliable, on-site power, addressing a major need for new data centers. Further boosting sentiment, an investment firm launched new leveraged ETFs for growth sectors that spotlighted Bloom Energy as a key company to watch. The move also occurred as the broader renewable energy market showed strength, with the global renewable energy stock index, RENIXX World, having recovered significantly.
Bloom Energy is up 347% since the beginning of the year, but at $104.52 per share, it is still trading 26.6% below its 52-week high of $142.37 from November 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Bloom Energy’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $4,235.
