- Bloom Energy Is Down 36% From Its June Record. Should You Buy Before Thursday's Report?
Bloom Energy shares closed at about $223 on October 20, down roughly 36% from their June 22 record close of $345.85, but still up about 156% this year as AI data centers use its fuel cells for on-site power. The company reports third-quarter results after the market closes on Thursday, October 22. Bloom has raised its 2026 revenue outlook twice, most recently to $3.9–4.2 billion after second-quarter revenue of $1.07 billion. However, the guidance implies only about $1.04–1.19 billion per quarter in the second half, slightly below the second quarter's total. The author calculates the stock at about 82 times expected 2026 earnings using the midpoint of management's adjusted EPS forecast, and believes the valuation already prices in much optimism. The author would reconsider if the new forecast shows second-half revenue clearly above the second quarter's $1.07 billion.
- Bloom Energy Sinks 9% as Pre-Earnings Rally Reverses; FuelCell Drops 6%, Plug Power Falls 3%
Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE) shares fell 9% to $218.09 in afternoon trading, giving back their October 21 gain as caution builds ahead of its third-quarter 2026 report. FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ:FCEL) dropped 6% to $12.36 and Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) fell 3% to $1.37, with the Global X Hydrogen ETF (NASDAQ:HYDR) down 4% and SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) off 1%. The article links the size of each drop to how heavily each company depends on data center demand, since Bloom Energy sells fuel cell systems for on-site data center power while FuelCell builds utility-scale plants and Plug Power focuses on hydrogen for warehouse and industrial users. After a large run this year, Bloom Energy's expectations are elevated, and its report will show whether margins keep pace with data center demand.
- Bloom Energy Jumps 7% Ahead of Q3 Report as Musk Calls Power AI’s Real Bottleneck; FuelCell Ticks Up, Plug Power Barely Moves
Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE) shares rose 7% to $237.27 in morning trading, while FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ:FCEL) gained 2% to $12.60 and Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) slipped 0.4% to $1.40. Elon Musk said on SpaceX's earnings call that power, cooling and infrastructure constrain AI deployment more than chips, and SpaceX plans an incremental 20 gigawatts of power and cooling infrastructure next year. The article says Bloom Energy sells on-site fuel cell power systems for data centers, so it is most directly tied to that demand, while FuelCell focuses on utility-scale platforms and Plug Power on hydrogen fuel and material-handling equipment. Bloom Energy's third-quarter report is expected October 22 after the close.
- Is Bloom Energy Stock a Millionaire Maker?
The article argues that Bloom Energy (BE) is unlikely to make most investors millionaires on its own, though it could still deliver substantial gains over the next several years. Bloom makes fuel cells that generate electricity without combustion, a product attractive to data centers whose power needs are straining local grids. Revenue topped $1 billion in the second quarter, the first time it has exceeded that level in a quarter, and operating expenses grew more slowly than revenue, producing a profit. The main concern is valuation: with a market cap of nearly $83 billion, the stock trades at about 20-21 times expected 2026 revenue. Turning $10,000 into $1 million would require a 100-fold gain, which at today's valuation would imply an $8 trillion company.
- I'm Calling It: Bloom Energy Will Be the Biggest Winner of the AI Power Crunch for 1 Reason
The author argues Bloom Energy (BE) will benefit most from AI’s power shortage because its solid oxide fuel cells can bring data centers online in about three months without grid connections, unlike utility hookups that can take years. Bloom crossed $1 billion in revenue in the second quarter, up 166% year over year, and holds about $2.7 billion in cash. Management raised full-year revenue guidance to $3.9 billion–$4.2 billion, nearly double 2025 levels. Shares have risen more than 150% year to date and trade at 357 times trailing earnings, which the author believes is justified by the improving balance sheet and steady demand for fast power.

- Hanoi: Court urges former SeABank Hai Ba Trung director to surrender before in-absentia trial
The Hanoi People’s Court plans to try two fugitive defendants in absentia on 9 November: Nguyễn Thị Hương Giang (former director of SeABank’s Hai Bà Trưng branch) and Lê Anh Tâm (former director of An Việt Úc Company). They are charged with fraudulent appropriation of assets and violating lending rules of credit institutions. The indictment says Giang directed staff to create fake credit files, enabling Nguyễn Hoàng Long and accomplices to borrow 29.5 billion dong, of which over 14.2 billion dong was misappropriated, even though no steel stored in the warehouse actually existed. Tâm, Long’s brother-in-law, allegedly signed fake sales contracts, valuation minutes and collateral contracts to support the loans. The court urges both defendants to surrender so they can attend the trial, exercise their right to self-defence and be eligible for leniency.

- Interest rates on 24/10 at Agribank, Vietcombank, BIDV, VietinBank, MB, VPBank, Techcombank, Sacombank, HDBank, ...

On a 100 million VND deposit held for 12 months without early withdrawal, simple interest at 7% per year comes to about 7 million VND, versus about 3.7 million VND at 3.7%.
- The Puzzle Pieces for a Stock Market Crash Are Taking Shape, With 4 Historically Flawless Indicators Now Sounding the Alarm
Four years into the current bull market, which began after the 2022 bear market ended, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have more than doubled and the Dow Jones has risen 84%, driven by AI infrastructure spending and record share buybacks. The article argues valuations are historically stretched: the Shiller P/E topped 41 as of Oct. 21, the second-priciest level in history, versus a 156-year average of 17.44. Since January 1871, the CAPE Ratio has exceeded 30 during a continuous bull market only six times, and the previous five were followed by declines of 20% to 89% in one or more major indexes. Outstanding margin debt hit a record $1.502 trillion in June 2026, up 77% since April 2025; after the three earlier surges of this kind peaked, the S&P 500 fell 49%, 57% and 25%. The article also notes that investors have historically overestimated how fast next-big-thing technologies get adopted.
- Micron vs. Sandisk: Which Is the Better AI Memory Stock to Own for the Next 3 Years
Micron and Sandisk have both surged in 2026 on demand for memory chips in AI data centers, with Micron up 220% and Sandisk up 480% as of writing. The article argues Micron has the edge because it sells both DRAM and NAND flash, while Sandisk is a pure-play NAND flash maker; DRAM generated 73% of Micron's revenue last quarter, almost $40 billion, driven by fast-growing HBM demand. It cites expectations that NAND flash will stay undersupplied over the next three years, and notes Micron has raised HBM pricing significantly for 2027. According to Counterpoint Research, Micron holds 15% of the NAND flash market versus Sandisk's 11%, and 24% of the DRAM market. The author considers Micron the more attractively valued stock, and analysts expect its earnings per share to grow faster than Sandisk's over the long run.
- Dave Ramsey Calls 2026 Crash Predictions “Freaking Asinine.” Here’s What the Data Says.
Dave Ramsey told listener Mark from Arizona on The Ramsey Show on October 16, 2026 that predicting stocks will halve in 2026 while company profits stay the same is 'freaking asinine'. The article agrees that staying invested is correct but says the halving claim exaggerates the case, since prices can fall sharply on fear even when profits hold, while long-run returns follow earnings. It cites SPY's 255% gain over 10 years and 12% so far in 2026, the VIX rising from 15 to 19, and real GDP growth of 2% annualized. The real risk depends on when withdrawals start: a retiree pulling $20,000 from a $400,000 portfolio would see the withdrawal rate rise from 5% to about 7% after a 30% drop, forcing sales at low prices. The article suggests money needed within about five years belongs in cash or bonds, and that savers compare their mix with a target-date fund for their retirement year.
