Bloom Energy Rises on $570M Trade Volume Ranks 176th as AI Deals and Fed Hopes Lift Shares

Bloom Energy (BE) rose 0.38% on August 15, 2025, with a trading volume of $570 million, ranking 176th in the market. The stock's recent performance aligns with strategic developments and macroeconomic factors.

CEO KR Sridhar highlighted ongoing discussions with hyperscalers during a Bloomberg interview, building on a July agreement with Oracle to power AI data centers. The deal, which bypasses traditional intermediaries, positions Bloom to secure similar contracts with cloud providers. Sridhar emphasized the potential for direct partnerships, leveraging fuel cell technology that converts natural gas into electricity without combustion.

Lower-than-expected inflation data, released earlier in the week, boosted market optimism for a September Federal Reserve rate cut. This environment typically favors high-growth stocks, contributing to Bloom’s upward momentum. However, the stock trades at 6.5 times sales and 82 times earnings estimates, reflecting elevated valuations for a hardware-focused company.

The strategy of buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day from 2022 to 2025 generated a total profit of $10,720. Returns grew steadily despite market fluctuations, underscoring the approach’s resilience over the period.
