Market participants and analysts have offered commentary on the company’s demand outlook and backlog trends. Baird reiterated an Outperform rating on Bloom Energy and set a price target of $172, citing what it described as a robust demand outlook. Melius Research highlighted a substantial increase in fuel cell power demand from AI data centers, reporting a 2.5x rise in product backlog and a 1.5x increase in service backlog over the past year. Those backlogs were attributed to hyperscalers seeking diversified power sources, with Bloom Energy’s fuel cell offerings cited as a significant component of that demand shift.
TD Cowen also updated its view, raising its price target on Bloom Energy to $160 from $105 while maintaining a Hold rating. The firm attributed the higher target to accelerating demand from data centers and commercial customers and referenced a 140% growth in backlog as a factor supporting its revised projection.
