00:03Bloom Energy shares rallied as investors focused on soaring AI-driven power demand and
00:08expectations of lower interest rates supporting the company's capital-heavy expansion,
00:13according to Benzinga. The stock is up more than 400% this year,
00:17driven by partnerships with hyperscalers such as Oracle.
00:21Investors expect the Federal Reserve to cut rates next week,
00:24and futures markets assign a nearly 90% probability to that move.
00:28A rate cut would lower borrowing costs tied to Bloom's recent $2.5 billion convertible note
00:34issuance, which the company said is intended as a war chest for rapid manufacturing growth.
00:39Lower rates could make Bloom's fuel cell projects more attractive for data center customers
00:43and strengthen the economics of deploying gigawatt-scale power.
00:47Investors are also pricing in additional rate cuts in 2026,
00:51which could further reduce Bloom's cost of capital as manufacturing ramps up to meet data center demand.
