About Bloom Energy Corp
On-site power is the focus of Bloom Energy, which builds solid oxide fuel cell systems, called Energy Servers, that generate electricity from natural gas, biogas or hydrogen. The systems give customers power that is independent of the grid or supports it. Customers include data centre operators, large corporations, hospitals, retailers, manufacturers and utilities. The company designs and manufactures the equipment, installs it and provides ongoing maintenance and service.
Revenue comes from Energy Server shipments, installation work, service contracts and some long-term power agreements. Revenue was $2.4 billion over the last twelve months and has grown at 19.1% a year across the last three years. The operating margin is 6.7%, the business earns 11% on the capital invested in it, and net debt is 1.5 times EBITDA. No dividend is paid. On the site's X-Ray Score it receives 32 out of 100.

Debt = borrowings plus lease liabilities. Cash & securities = cash, equivalents and short-term marketable securities (long-term securities are not counted, so net cash can be understated for companies that hold large long-term investments). Net debt = debt minus cash & securities. Source: latest SEC 10-Q/10-K. EBIT / EV yield = operating profit divided by market cap plus net debt.
Fair value estimate
$150middle half of models $127 – $176
Overvalued−31.3% to fair value
Average of the 10 valuation models that pass our checks: multiples, discounted cash flow, dividend discount and earnings power value. A model more than 100% above or 60% below the price is left out as unrealistic. Model uncertainty is Medium, based on how far apart the models are. Undervalued or Overvalued means the gap to fair value is more than 17.5%.
A model estimate, not a price target or recommendation. Inputs: risk-free 5.13%, equity risk premium 4.30% (Damodaran). How it works.
What this means
Weak business, priced high
Our models put fair value below today's price, so a lot of good news may already be in the price. A high score does not guarantee a good outcome; it shifts the odds a little. Use the checklist as a prompt for your own research.

Sector leaders: highest X-Ray Score in Industrials
BE ranks #75 of 81 in Industrials and #6 of 6 in Electrical Components & Equipment by X-Ray Score. A higher score is stronger on our five pillars; it is a ranking of facts, not a forecast.
Green means better than the peer median, red worse (only where a higher or lower figure is clearly better). A dash means too few companies report the figure. P/E, EV/EBITDA and price changes are not graded: a different level is not good or bad by itself.

These ratings compare companies with each other and describe the past; they are not a forecast, a recommendation or part of the X-Ray Score. A factor is left out when its data is missing or meaningless (for example a P/E on negative earnings). A dash in the history columns means fewer than three usable years.

Signals describe what the chart is doing, not what to do. Moving averages: price above the average is bullish. Oscillators use the usual thresholds (RSI 30/70, Stochastic 20/80, CCI ±100, Williams %R −80/−20; MACD and momentum above zero are bullish). Weekly and monthly views use closing prices only.
