TOMORROW’S TRADE IDEA, TODAY

A New Partnership

Morgan Stanley (MS) analyst Andrew Percoco is bullish on Bloom Energy (BE) as an AI play with lots of potential. He thinks the company is “one of the most underappreciated ways to play the Powering AI theme.” 

Percoco reiterated his overweight rating on Bloom stock following the company’s announcement that it was forming a partnership with AI cloud computing startup CoreWeave. This move will allow Bloom to deploy its solid oxide fuel cells to power CoreWeave’s Illinois data center.

Providing Power

CoreWeave expects to begin utilizing Bloom’s fuel cells in the second half of 2025 to benefit its AI cloud solutions in its quest to compete with bigger tech players. 

Percoco estimated that CoreWeave will require around 15 megawatts of power from Bloom. He’s set a $22 price target on Bloom stock, a 50% upside from yesterday’s close.

Other Partnerships

CoreWeave isn’t the only company looking to team up with Bloom. Last week it was announced that Bloom and Amazon (AMZN) had collaborated with Silicon Valley Power to provide 20 megawatts of fuel cells for an Amazon data center. 

Bloom also announced in May that it had partnered with Intel (INTC) to deploy its fuel cells to help the company’s data centers in California. 

These partnerships underscore Bloom’s ambitions, and there’s no doubt that it's beginning to make waves in the AI energy space.
