- Bloom Energy reported record third-quarter revenue and raised its full-year 2026 outlook for the third time.
- Operating cash flow turned negative as working-capital needs and capacity investment increased.
- The next quarterly update will show whether stronger sales begin to translate into more consistent cash generation.
Bloom Energy reported record third-quarter revenue on October 22, 2026, and raised its full-year outlook for the third time. The company delivered strong earnings growth, but cash use has become a central issue for investors.
Bloom Energy stock traded at 184.90 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 3:34:16 p.m. CET on Friday, October 30, 2026. That was 9.24% below the 203.75-euro quote in the latest relevant Bloom Energy report from October 29. The comparison is measured against that earlier Lang & Schwarz quote, not against a Xetra close.
Record Sales, Higher Guidance
In its October 22 release, Bloom Energy said third-quarter revenue rose 138.1% year over year to 1.2358 billion US dollars. Operating income reached 225.4 million US dollars, while diluted GAAP earnings per share came to 0.78 US dollars. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was 0.94 US dollars.
Management lifted full-year 2026 revenue guidance to 4.4 billion-4.6 billion US dollars. The company also expects non-GAAP operating income of 960 million-1.03 billion US dollars and non-GAAP earnings per share of 3.10-3.40 US dollars. Bloom Energy said it was added to the S&P 500.
Cash Flow Raises the Bar
Operating cash flow was negative 27.1 million US dollars in the third quarter, while purchases of property, plant and equipment reached 153.5 million US dollars. The company linked the operating cash use to working-capital needs involving receivables, contract assets and inventories.
The figures leave investors watching whether customer deliveries and collections improve cash conversion as production capacity expands. Stronger margins support the growth case, but the next quarterly report must show that reported growth can be financed more consistently.
