Bloom Energy (BE)

The sleeper story: Bloom just became an infrastructure company, not an equipment vendor, with $27.6B of committed project financing that validates their transition to a recurring revenue model. The market sees the $1B quarterly revenue milestone, but misses that 100% service attach rates at 22% margins create an annuity stream worth multiples of the equipment sale. The binding constraint is customer site readiness, not Bloom's capacity, which explains the lumpy quarters but also de-risks the growth story. 'We think a four-year backlog is not a trophy. It's a confession of constrained supply,' KR said, taking a direct shot at traditional power providers. My view changes if service margins drop below 20% or if hyperscaler validation doesn't convert to actual deployments by Q4.
