What Happened?
Shares of electricity generation and hydrogen production company Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) fell 2.4% in the morning session after the stock appeared to be taking a breather as a strong rally left it in technically overbought territory.
The stock had been rising for seven consecutive days, a run-up that pushed its Relative Strength Index (RSI), a key momentum indicator, to a level considered "extremely overbought." This condition can often precede a pullback as investors decide to sell and lock in recent gains.

What Is The Market Telling Us
Bloom Energy’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 64 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 10 days ago when the stock dropped 7.5% on the news that investors took some profits off the table as markets awaited signals on future monetary policy from the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole symposium later in the week. The downturn in the market was largely attributed to a significant sell-off in megacap tech and chipmaker shares. Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and Broadcom all saw notable drops, dragging down the VanEck Semiconductor ETF. Other major tech-related companies like Tesla, Meta Platforms, and Netflix were also under pressure. A key reason for this trend is that much of the recent market gains have been concentrated in the "AI trade," which includes these large technology and semiconductor companies. So this could also mean that some investors are locking in some gains ahead of more definitive feedback from the Fed.
Bloom Energy is up 128% since the beginning of the year, and at $53.33 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $54.80 from August 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Bloom Energy’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $3,405.
