Update from 02/22: Dramatic reversal. BE price surged +10.9% from $147.55 to $163.68 since 02/22. The stock broke above the SMA20 ($153.61) and is now +6.6% above it. RSI jumped from 48.5 to 61.5 — approaching extended territory. Today's -6.3% day suggests the market is taking profit. The 7D is still +12.6% showing strong momentum. At $163.68, BE is now near its 52-week high ($174.77) — -6.3% from peak. The AI data center power thesis is being validated in market price action. This is NOT the time to chase — wait for RSI to cool toward 40-45 and price to test the SMA20 ($153).

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.
- Price action validating thesis — +17.2% in 30 days while broader market sold off = market recognizing the power thesis.
- Near 52wk high — Momentum intact; pullback creates re-entry opportunity.
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)

Open Questions
- What catalysts drove the +17% surge (new contract? earnings preview? sector rotation)?
- Is the 52wk high ($174.77) a realistic near-term target?
- What is the next earnings catalyst for BE?
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 |
| Missing the re-entry during RSI 48 phase |
Should have re-entered when RSI was 45-50 in early recovery |
