Bloom Energy reported third-quarter results after the US market closed on October 22, 2026. ஆ^[1]The company makes fuel-cell systems, which turn the chemical energy in fuel into electricity at a customer's site; management cited accelerating demand from data centers, commercial and industrial customers, utilities and critical infrastructure. ஆ^[2][3]

Quarterly revenue reached a record $1.24 billion, up 138% from a year earlier. Bloom raised its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to $4.4 billion–$4.6 billion. ஆ^[4]
