Shares of Bloom Energy (BE +1.32%) were down more than 12% last week. This is partly due to investors, including several insiders, selling to lock in profits, as well as broader market speculation about a potential artificial intelligence bubble.
Company insiders and retail investors locked in profits after the company's stock rose 365% since the start of 2025. Insiders sold more than $19 million in shares in November 2025. This may have shaken investor confidence a bit. The stock is now well off its 52-week high of $147.

There are also lingering inflated valuation concerns. Bloom Energy has consistently beaten quarterly earnings expectations this year, but the stock is trading at an extraordinarily high price-to-earnings ratio of over 1,300.
AI sentiment affects Bloom stock
Across the broader market, there are real worries about an AI bubble. Bloom Energy rises and falls with AI-related sentiment, as demand for energy infrastructure is closely tied to the industry.
So far, Bloom Energy's stock is holding strong in 2025. The triple-digit gain over the past 12 months was driven more by investor enthusiasm than by fundamentals, so investors needed to reset their expectations somewhat. A corrective fall this week shouldn't scare off potential buyers.

Bloom Energy continues to deliver despite short-term turbulence
For long-term investors, Bloom Energy remains a compelling buy. The demand for clean energy solutions and AI infrastructure is growing, but how that looks in the near term is far less certain. Over the next several years, however, investors in Bloom Energy have every reason to be optimistic.
Bloom's revenue ballooned to $519 million in the third quarter, a 57% increase from the same period a year ago. The company stated that this was the fourth consecutive quarter of record revenue. Gross profit and margins are also increasing, a promising sign for Bloom Energy's future.
