BLOOM ENERGY

📈 Here’s Why Bloom Energy’s Stock Is Soaring

On Tuesday, Bloom Energy’s stock rose 23.98% to $219.03 per share, signaling the fuel-cell maker’s growing role in supplying AI data centers with on-site power.

Key details:
  • Last Thursday, Oracle was issued a fully vested warrant to purchase up to 3.53 million shares of Bloom Energy’s stock at $113.28 per share for a total investment of $400 million.

  • It was issued in connection with Oracle’s original multi-year power agreement with Bloom Energy, under which Oracle initially planned to procure up to 1.6 GW of Bloom Energy’s fuel-cell capacity to power AI data center buildouts.

  • Oracle decided to expand this original multi-year power agreement, now planning to procure up to 2.8 GW of Bloom Energy’s fuel-cell capacity, with the additional 1.2 GW already under contract.

Key takeaways:
  • Bloom Energy’s secret sauce lies within its proprietary solid oxide technology. Originally built to help NASA explore life on Mars, these solid oxide fuel cells generate electricity through an electrochemical reaction between fuel and oxygen, without needing “combustion”: the traditional process of burning fuel to create heat, which is converted into mechanical energy to generate electricity.

  • Usually, a machine is picky about its fuel. For example, a diesel car can’t run on gas fuel. Bloom Energy’s proprietary solid oxide technology is “fuel-flexible,” running on “natural gas, biogas, hydrogen, or blends of these fuels.”

AI RESEARCH

đŸŒČ Stanford’s 2026 AI Index Report

Stanford HAI recently released “The 2026 AI Index Report,” which provides unbiased, rigorously vetted, and globally sourced data on the latest trends in AI.

Key details:
  1. There’s more and more money flowing into AI. For context, global corporate AI investments reached $581.7 billion in 2025, up 130% from the prior year. Meanwhile, regional private investments reached $344.7 billion in 2025, up 128% from the prior year. The U.S. leads all other countries in “doling out AI dollars,” investing $285.9 billion, or 23.1x more money, than the next leading country.

  2. We’re experiencing an entry-level job role squeeze. For example, when analyzing “observed exposure,” which measures how frequently different industries across the U.S. economy are actually employing AI to automate, not assist with, economically valuable tasks, computer programmers have the worst observed exposure at 74.5%. More specifically, employment among software developers aged 22 to 25 has plummeted nearly 20% since 2024.

  3. The frontier AI firms have a favorite buzzword: “Ph.D.-Level.” For example, OpenAI introduced “Deep Research,” which analyzes and synthesizes content from across the internet into comprehensive summaries just like a “Ph.D.-level research analyst.”

Key takeaways:
  • AI adoption is spreading at a historical speed. GenAI reached 53% population penetration within three years, scaling faster than the internet and PC revolution. It’s important to note that there’s a strong positive correlation between GDP Per Capita and AI adoption, meaning those in wealthier countries have heard a lot about AI. For example, the GDP Per Capita in the U.S. is $86,000, and 47% of Americans have heard a lot about AI.

  • These entry-level job roles were traditionally the on-ramp to successful corporate careers in law, finance, and marketing. But AI can now perform legal research and analyze market dynamics more accurately, more efficiently, and more cheaply than a recent college graduate. Since late 2022, there has been a 14% decrease in “job-finding rates” for U.S. workers aged 22 to 25.
