5. Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE:BE)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 88  

In recent months, Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE:BE) has shifted from a speculative clean-energy name to a core AI power holding for elite investors. The company has transitioned from pilot programs to gigawatt-scale utility status. Earlier this month, Oracle announced an expanded partnership to procure up to 2.8 gigawatts (GW) of Bloom’s fuel cell systems. This is one of the largest on-site power deals in history. Unlike waiting 5+ years for a traditional grid connection, Bloom’s systems can bring a data center online in under 90 days. Investors view this speed-to-market as a competitive advantage for cloud providers racing to deploy GPUs.

Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE:BE) is solving the grid crisis with behind-the-meter power. In early 2026, American Electric Power finalized a $2.65 billion offtake agreement for up to 1 GW of Bloom’s capacity. This signaled that even utilities now view fuel cells as the only way to serve massive industrial loads that the existing grid cannot accommodate. Investors like ClearBridge Investments have highlighted that Bloom allows hyperscalers to bring their own power, effectively de-risking their multi-billion dollar AI investments from utility delays. There has also been a seismic shift in Bloom’s financial profile. Bloom’s total backlog has swelled to nearly $20 billion, providing multi-year revenue visibility. The company guided for $3.1–$3.3 billion in 2026 revenue, implying a growth rate of 60% year-over-year.
