Hold

Reason

Clear Street raised the firm's price target on Bloom Energy to $68 from $58 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. The firm says the company's sales "should benefit strongly" this year from a recent customer order of solid oxide fuel cells for a power generation plant in Wyoming. The order appears tied to the 1 GW supply framework agreement signed with American Electric Power (AEP) in November 2024, which had only a minimum initial firm order of 100 MW, the analyst tells investors in a research note. American Electric' s recent disclosure indicated this specific power supply to a facility is to come entirely from fuel cells generation. Clear Street anticipates the power generation facility project could cost nearly $3B, including non-fuel cells infrastructure expenses and construction costs, which is not all Bloom revenue.

Outperform

Reason

Bernstein analyst David Dai lowered the firm's price target on BE Semiconductor to EUR 165 from EUR 169 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm cut the company's 2026 revenue estimates to 10% below consensus due to slower adoption of fluxless thermo-compression bonding. Recent developments indicate the technology roadmap has changed, as HBM4 can now be manufactured with the existing flux-based TCB tools, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

While the firm continues to like Bloom's niche and high market share for its onsite power generation and uptime reliability advantages for new datacenters and manufacturing plants, it maintains a Hold rating based on valuation.
