10 stocks we like better than Bloom Energy ›
Soaring 43.6% from the start of July through the end of trading last week, the stock of Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) has been red hot this month. And the trend seems to be continuing through the remainder of the month.
Although the company didn't have any news to report that explains the fuel cell maker's rise this week, it's clear that the market's appetite for Bloom Energy remains strong.
According to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence, shares have risen 9.2% from the end of last Friday's session through 2:05 p.m. ET today.
Bloom is blossoming in investors' eyes thanks to this opportunity
Investors leaped at the opportunity to power their portfolios with the stock last week after the company announced a deal with Oracle for the deployment of fuel cells to power data centers, and the enthusiasm is continuing into this week as well.
Nuclear energy stocks have emerged as one of the most appealing alternative energy options for companies operating data centers, but the deal with Oracle suggests that Bloom Energy might have a robust new opportunity considering the massive amounts of capital that artificial intelligence (AI) companies are investing in data centers.
Another source of the market's ebullience is an analyst's auspicious outlook. Last Friday, UBS analyst Manav Gupta boosted the price target on Bloom to $51 from $29 due to the company's deal with Oracle.
Is Bloom ready to wilt, or is there still room to run?
While the Oracle deal and the analyst's revised price target are understandable reasons for shares to rise, it's important to acknowledge that there are more tangible reasons for buying the stock.
Bloom Energy is growing both revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) -- a hopeful sign that the company will succeed in a way that its peers have not. This makes Bloom Energy worth further investigation for fuel cell exposure.

Mary Sheffield, Solomon Kinloch win Detroit mayoral primary election, AP projects
Mary Sheffield and the Rev. Solomon Kinloch were named winners in Tuesday's primary election for the Detroit mayoral race and will advance to the November general election, AP projects. Sheffield was projected as one of the two winners sometime after 9:30 p.m. Thursday with 24,642 votes (32,414 as of midnight). Kinloch was projected as the second winner at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday with 12,813 votes. "It is this city that raised me, that shaped me, and that called me to serve for such a time as this," Sheffield said to her supporters Tuesday night. She added, "Even as a kid, I always wanted to be a part of something bigger. That's why I am deeply committed to investing in our neighborhoods and our parks and our youth programs and our cultural institutions, because every Detroiter deserves to feel seen and supported." Sheffield was first elected to the city council in November 2013, representing the city's fifth district. She was selected council president in 2022. She announced her official campaign for mayor in December 2024, saying she is focused on strengthening the city's economy and education, reducing crime, supporting small businesses and lowering property taxes for residents and businesses. She says she is also focused on providing access to affordable housing for all Detroiters. Kinloch is the senior pastor at Triumph Church in Detroit. Under his leadership, Triumph has expanded to eight campuses and has been called one of the fastest-growing churches in the United States. Before becoming a pastor in 1998, Kinloch worked at the Chevrolet Gear and Axle Plant, where he was a member of UAW Local 235. He is a graduate of Northwestern High School. Sheffield and Kinloch were among nine candidates vying for the seat currently held by Mayor Mike Duggan, who is running for Michigan governor. They will go head-to-head in the November general election. Duggan is Detroit's 75th mayor. He is serving his third four-year term and is the second-longest-serving mayor, behind Coleman Young, who was elected to five terms and served for 20 years. His current term ends in January 2026. He first took office in January 2014, and the city emerged from its historic bankruptcy in December of that year. In December 2024, Duggan announced that he would not seek a fourth term and would run as an Independent in the 2026 gubernatorial election. With Gov. Gretchen Whitmer reaching her term limit, several people have thrown their names in the ring for the state's top position, including Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and U.S. Rep. John James.

Exclusive-Missed signals, lost deal: How India-US trade talks collapsed
By Manoj Kumar, Trevor Hunnicutt and Aftab Ahmed NEW DELHI/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -After five rounds of trade negotiations, Indian officials were so confident of securing a favourable deal with the United States that they even signalled to the media that tariffs could be capped at 15%. Indian officials expected U.S. President Donald Trump to announce the deal himself weeks before the August 1 deadline. The announcement never came. New Delhi is now left with the surprise imposition of a 25% tariff on Indian goods from Friday, along with unspecified penalties over oil imports from Russia, while Trump has closed larger deals with Japan and the EU, and even offered better terms to arch-rival Pakistan. Interviews with four Indian government officials and two U.S. government officials revealed previously undisclosed details of the proposed deal and an exclusive account of how negotiations collapsed despite technical agreements on most issues. The officials on both sides said a mix of political misjudgment, missed signals and bitterness broke down the deal between the world's biggest and fifth-largest economies, whose bilateral trade is worth over $190 billion. The White House, the U.S. Trade Representative office, and India's Prime Minister's Office, along with the External Affairs and Commerce ministries, did not respond to emailed requests for comment. India believed that after visits by Indian Trade Minister Piyush Goyal to Washington and U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance to Delhi, it had made a series of deal-clinching concessions. New Delhi was offering zero tariffs on industrial goods that formed about 40% of U.S. exports to India, two Indian government officials told Reuters. Despite domestic pressure, India would also gradually lower tariffs on U.S. cars and alcohol with quotas and accede to Washington's main demand of higher energy and defence imports from the U.S., the officials said. "Most differences were resolved after the fifth round in Washington, raising hopes of a breakthrough," one of the officials said, adding negotiators believed the U.S. would accommodate India's reluctance on duty-free farm imports and dairy products from the U.S. It was a miscalculation. Trump saw the issue differently and wanted more concessions. "A lot of progress was made on many fronts in India talks, but there was never a deal that we felt good about," said one White House official. "We never got to what amounted to a full deal - a deal that we were looking for." OVER-CONFIDENCE AND MISCALCULATION Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who visited Washington in February, agreed to target a deal by fall 2025, and more than double bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030. To bridge the $47 billion goods trade gap, India pledged to buy up to $25 billion in U.S. energy and boost defence imports. But officials now admit India grew overconfident after Trump talked up a "big" imminent deal, taking it as a signal that a favourable agreement was in hand. New Delhi then hardened its stance, especially on agriculture and dairy, two highly sensitive areas for the Indian government. "We are one of the fastest growing economies, and the U.S. can't ignore a market of 1.4 billion," one Indian official involved in the negotiations said in mid-July. Negotiators even pushed for relief from the 10% average U.S. tariff announced in April, plus a rollback of steel, aluminium and auto duties. Later, India scaled back expectations after the U.S. signed trade deals with key partners including Japan, and the European Union, hoping it could secure a similar 15% tariff rate with fewer concessions. That was unacceptable to the White House. "Trump wanted a headline-grabbing announcement with broader market access, investments and large purchases," said a Washington-based source familiar with the talks. An Indian official acknowledged New Delhi wasn't ready to match what others offered. South Korea, for example, struck a deal just before Trump's August 1 deadline, securing a 15% rate instead of 25% by offering $350 billion in investments, higher energy imports, and concessions on rice and beef. COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN "At one point, both sides were very close to signing the deal," said Mark Linscott, a former U.S. Trade Representative who now works for a lobby group that is close to the discussions between the two nations. "The missing component was a direct line of communication between President Trump and Prime Minister Modi." A White House official strongly disputed this, noting other deals had been resolved without such intervention. An Indian government official involved in the talks said Modi could not have called, fearing a one-sided conversation with Trump that could put him on the spot. However, the other three Indian officials said Trump's repeated remarks about mediating the India-Pakistan conflict further strained negotiations and contributed to Modi not making a final call. "Trump's remarks on Pakistan didn't go down well," one of them said. "Ideally, India should have acknowledged the U.S. role while making it clear the final call was ours." A senior Indian government official blamed the collapse on poor judgment, saying top Indian advisers mishandled the process. "We lacked the diplomatic support needed after the U.S. struck better deals with Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan and the EU," the official said. "We're now in a crisis that could have been avoided." Trump said on Tuesday he would increase the tariff on imports from India from the current rate of 25% "very substantially" over the next 24 hours and alleged that New Delhi's purchases of Russian oil were "fuelling the war" in Ukraine. WAY FORWARD Talks are ongoing, with a U.S. delegation expected in Delhi later this month and Indian government officials still believe the deal can be salvaged from here. "It's still possible," one White House official said. The Indian government is re-examining areas within the farm and dairy sectors where concessions can be made, the fourth official said. On Russian oil, India could reduce some purchases in favour of U.S. supplies if pricing is matched. "It likely will require direct communication between the prime minister and the president," said Linscott. "Pick up the phone. Right now, we are in a lose-lose. But there is real potential for a win-win trade deal."
