Bloom Energy’s Stock Rises on Strategic Oracle Pact and Slimming Losses Despite 202nd-Ranked Trading Volume

On August 18, 2025, Bloom Energy (BE) closed at a 2.69% gain, with a trading volume of $450 million, a 20.8% decline from the previous day, ranking 202nd in market activity. The stock’s performance was driven by recent developments in its business expansion and governance.

Bloom Energy announced a strategic partnership to supply fuel cell technology to Oracle’s U.S. data centers, supporting its cloud infrastructure needs. CEO KR Sridhar highlighted potential new agreements in a Bloomberg interview, signaling growth ambitions. The company also appointed Jim Snabe, a seasoned technology industry leader, to its board, enhancing its global scalability.

Financial results for Q2 2025 showed a 31% reduction in net losses to $42.6 million year-on-year, alongside a 19.5% revenue increase to $401.2 million. Analysts at BMO Capital and UBS raised price targets following the Oracle deal, reflecting optimism about Bloom’s role in AI-driven power demand. However, concerns persist over cash burn amid capacity expansion plans.

Backtesting of a volume-based strategy from 2022 to 2025 yielded a cumulative return of 23.4%, with a total profit of $2,340. This suggests moderate success for short-term trading approaches but highlights the need for caution in volume-centric strategies.
