Bloom Energy Shares Drop Sharply Ahead of Earnings Amid Supplier Concerns
Shares of Bloom Energy (BE) fell by 13% ahead of its Q2 earnings report, dragging down peers like FuelCell Energy and Plug Power. The decline was fueled in part by a short-seller report from Hunterbrook Capital alleging hidden reliance on Chinese suppliers. This has shifted investor focus to the quality of revenue rather than just beating estimates. Wall Street expects Bloom Energy to post $827 million in Q2 revenue with EPS near $0.41, following four consecutive quarters of earnings beats. The company recently raised its full-year 2026 guidance and is seen as a key player in the AI-driven power demand narrative. However, concerns over supplier transparency and joint venture sales mix could overshadow strong numbers. The selloff also impacted broader hydrogen ETFs like HYDR, which dropped nearly 7% due to Bloom Energy's significant weighting within it. The sector remains highly sensitive to sentiment shifts given its pre-profitability status.
