Bloom Energy Shares Climb 1.77% as Strategic Hydrogen Partnership Drives Momentum Stock Ranks 163rd in Trading Volume

Bloom Energy (BE) closed 1.77% higher on October 8, 2025, with a trading volume of $690 million, marking a 26.65% decline from the previous day’s volume and ranking 163rd among listed stocks. The stock’s performance followed a strategic partnership announcement with a European energy firm to develop next-generation hydrogen storage solutions, positioning it as a key player in the clean energy transition. Analysts highlighted the deal’s potential to unlock new revenue streams, particularly as global demand for decarbonization technologies accelerates.

Recent earnings reports underscored operational improvements, with Q3 revenue growth outpacing industry benchmarks due to cost optimization in its electrolyzer production. However, short-term volatility remains tied to supply chain constraints affecting raw material procurement. Institutional investors have shown increased activity, with several large-cap funds adding BE to their portfolios this quarter, citing long-term exposure to the renewable energy sector.

To run this back-test accurately I need to clarify a couple of details: 1. Universe – Should we screen U.S. listed common stocks only (e.g., NYSE + NASDAQ) or a different universe/region? 2. Weighting – For the 500 names chosen each day, do you want: • Equal-weight allocation (i.e., 1/500 in each), or • Volume-weighted / cap-weighted, or something else? 3. Transaction costs – Do we assume zero friction, or would you like to include an estimated bid-ask/commission cost? 4. Benchmark – Would you like the results compared with a benchmark index (e.g., S&P 500) in the report? Once I have these points I can set up the daily ranking and one-day holding test from 2022-01-01 through the latest available data.
