Analyst Andrew Percoco from Morgan Stanley maintained a Buy rating on Bloom Energy (BE – Research Report) and keeping the price target at $20.00.
Andrew Percoco has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight the potential growth and profitability of Bloom Energy. The recent agreement with American Electric Power (AEP) to provide up to 1 GW of solid oxide fuel cells is a significant development. This deal includes an initial purchase of 100 MW, with expectations for further orders in 2025, indicating strong demand in the data center and large energy user markets.
Moreover, the agreement underscores a broader trend where both customers and utilities are increasingly recognizing the need for alternative power sources like fuel cells to meet rapid power demands. With the potential for $3 billion in product revenue from this order alone, and additional recurring revenue from service contracts, Bloom Energy is poised for substantial financial gains. The anticipated acceleration in order announcements and the significant operating leverage inherent in Bloom Energy’s business model suggest a strong earnings contribution margin, reinforcing a positive outlook for the company’s future performance.
In another report released yesterday, Evercore ISI also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $22.00 price target.
