Why Bloom Energy Stock Just Dropped

Group 1 - J.P. Morgan upgraded Bloom Energy's stock, leading to an 18% increase in one day, but the stock subsequently fell 9% [1][3] - The upgrade was based on the expectation that Congressional "48E tax credits" would increase the adoption of Bloom's fuel cells and improve profit margins [3] - SK ecoplant, an insider investor, decided to sell half of its shares, approximately 10 million shares at $28.71 each, following the stock price surge [4][5] Group 2 - SK ecoplant owned over 10% of Bloom's shares, and the sale will reduce its stake by roughly half, allowing it to lock in profits [5] - Despite J.P. Morgan's optimism, Bloom reported less than $5 million in profit over the last 12 months, with a P/E ratio exceeding 1,000x earnings [6] - Bloom's price-to-free cash flow ratio is 87 times, indicating a potentially overpriced stock despite projected growth of 25% over the next five years [6]
