Valuation note
While the stock’s year-over-year appreciation has been dramatic, analysis suggests the company may be overvalued at current levels. The contention about valuation accompanies the insider sale, although the sale itself does not carry stated rationale in public filings beyond the transaction specifics.
Fourth-quarter 2025 results and market reaction
Bloom Energy reported fourth-quarter 2025 results that exceeded Wall Street forecasts. The company posted earnings per share of $0.45, above the $0.30 estimate, and reported revenue of about $778 million, which was roughly 21.5% higher than the $640.07 million analysts had anticipated. In the wake of the stronger-than-expected results and the company's guidance for 2026, several brokerages revised their price targets upward.
BTIG raised its price target on the stock to $165 while maintaining a Buy rating. BMO Capital increased its price target to $149, pointing to the company’s financial guidance for 2026 exceeding analyst expectations. TD Cowen moved its price target to $160, highlighting accelerating power demand from data center and commercial and industrial customers as a catalyst for growth.
Insurance sector transaction
Separately, Aspen Insurance Holdings completed the previously announced merger with a subsidiary of Sompo International Holdings. Under the terms of that agreement, Aspen became a wholly owned subsidiary of Endurance Specialty Insurance Ltd. Aspen’s Class A ordinary shares were converted into the right to receive $37.50 in cash. Outstanding stock option awards with an exercise price below $37.50 were converted into a contingent right to receive cash.
