Bloom Energy is approaching a milestone as analysts point to its potential inclusion in the S&P 500, an index of the largest companies in the U.S. being added to the index often leads to more buying from funds that track it. This comes as the company is expected to more than triple its earnings this year.

The business is benefiting from the massive power needs of AI data centers. By using fuel cells to generate electricity on-site, Bloom helps these centers get running much faster than waiting for a traditional connection to the power grid. This speed is a major advantage as tech companies race to build out AI infrastructure.

Bloom Energy released a report detailing how its fuel cells can save a massive 1-gigawatt data center about 3.6 billion dollars in upfront costs. The system uses high-voltage direct current power, which skips the need for transformers and other equipment used to convert electricity from the traditional power grid.

This matters because speed and cost are the two biggest hurdles for companies building AI data centers. By bypassing the traditional grid and reducing the amount of equipment needed, Bloom is positioning its technology as a cheaper and faster alternative to waiting for a utility connection. If these savings hold up in real-world use, it strengthens the case for big tech companies to choose Bloom's fuel cells over standard power setups.

Robbins LLP is reminding shareholders of a pending lawsuit that claims the company failed to properly disclose how much it relies on scandium from China. Scandium is a rare mineral used to make the company's fuel cells work, and the suit alleges that this supply chain risk was not clear to those who bought the stock between early 2025 and mid-2026. These types of reminders from law firms are common after a stock has seen a sharp drop or a controversial disclosure. While the reliance on Chinese minerals is a real risk for the business, this specific filing is a routine step in an existing legal process and does not change the company's current operations or its ability to deliver power to data centers.

Bloom Energy is among a handful of companies that could be added to the S&P 500, an index that tracks the largest and most influential stocks in the U.S. market. Any changes to the index are expected to be announced after the market closes this Friday.

Joining the index is a major milestone because it forces many large investment funds to buy the stock to match the index's holdings. For Bloom, this would reflect its recent growth into a large-scale power provider for AI data centers and its shift into consistent profitability.

Bernstein Liebhard LLP has filed a securities fraud class action lawsuit against the company. The suit covers investors who bought shares between February 2025 and July 2026. These types of lawsuits are common when a stock price drops, as lawyers claim the company misled the public about its business or risks. While the filing sounds serious, these cases are a routine part of life for large public companies. They often take years to resolve and rarely change the long-term path of the business. Unless the case reveals a specific, new problem with how the company operates, it is more of a legal distraction than a reason to change your view on the stock.
