Bloom Energy (BE) is back in focus after a surge in AI driven power demand, a US$5b financing framework with Brookfield Asset Management, and plans to double manufacturing capacity for data center projects this year.

At a share price of US$159.21, Bloom Energy has seen rapid momentum build, with a 90 day share price return of 46.08% and a very large 1 year total shareholder return that reflects rising expectations around AI related power demand and the Brookfield partnership.

If you are watching how AI infrastructure reshapes the power sector, it could be worth scanning our list of 35 AI infrastructure stocks as another way to spot potential opportunities in this theme.

With the stock at US$159.21, trading above the average analyst price target and some measures suggesting a premium rather than a discount, the key question is whether Bloom Energy still offers upside or if the market is already pricing in future growth.

Most Popular Narrative: 90% Undervalued

According to the most followed narrative, Bloom Energy's fair value of $160.60 sits slightly above the last close at $159.21, which keeps expectations tightly aligned with the current price.

The primary narrative for 2026 is the $5 Billion Brookfield Asset Management Partnership and the company's aggressive manufacturing ramp-up. Bloom is on track to double its annual production capacity to 2 gigawatts (GW) by the end of this year to meet a total backlog that has ballooned to $20 billion.

Want to see how a power backlog, capacity expansion, and future earnings profile come together in one valuation story? The narrative leans on strong revenue ambitions, improving profitability and a rich future earnings multiple usually associated with high growth platforms. Curious which assumptions really carry the weight in that $160.60 fair value?

Result: Fair Value of $160.60 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this story can be knocked off course if the US$20b backlog fails to translate into profitable delivery, or if the Brookfield partnership underwhelms against current expectations.

Another View: Rich P/S Ratio Raises Valuation Risk

Our fair value story leans on future earnings, but today the stock changes hands at a P/S of 22.1x, versus 2.5x for the US Electrical industry, 5.1x for peers, and a fair ratio of 12.8x. That is a wide gap, so how comfortable are you paying that kind of premium?
