Update from 02/16: Price recovered from $139.74 (at stop-loss) to $147.55 (+5.6%). Now sitting just below SMA20 ($150.47). RSI stable at 48-50. The -7.2% 1-day drop today (02/22) is notable. 3-month trend is +64%, indicating a strong underlying uptrend. The thesis (AI data center power) remains intact. However, with stop triggered at $140 and price still below where it was on 02/11 ($156), caution warranted.

Bull Case
Why This Could Work
- AI data center power crisis — Hyperscalers need 24/7 reliable power, grid cannot keep up. Bloom delivers guaranteed uptime.
- 20-year service annuity — Each installation generates 20 years of high-margin service revenue.
- Hydrogen-ready fuel cells — When green hydrogen economics improve, Bloom's cells run on it directly.
- RSI neutral at SMA — Not extended; potential recovery if market stabilizes.
- 3M +64% — Strong underlying trend, current pullback may be healthy consolidation.
Bear Case
What Could Go Wrong
- Competition from battery storage / grid-scale solutions — Cheaper alternatives gain traction.
- Natural gas price spikes — Core fuel cost pressure on customer economics.
- Pre-revenue hydrogen risk — If Bloom pivots to hydrogen before economics work, margin pressure.
- High valuation — Despite losses, trades at premium. Any miss = large selloff.
Thesis Killers
- Major data center customer cancels orders
- Earnings miss on service margin compression
- Grid power reliability improves (removes urgency)

Mistakes (Don't Repeat)
| Mistake |
Lesson |
| Entering BE at $164.96 near recent high |
Better to enter on RSI < 40 pullbacks, not breakouts |
| Stop at $140 was correct |
Honor the stop-loss discipline |
