One firm suspects Bloom's demand is blossoming

After the market closed on Monday, RBC Capital reaffirmed its outperform rating and $335 price target on Bloom Energy stock. With shares closing at $262.87 yesterday, RBC Capital's price target implies more than 27% upside.

According to Thefly.com, RBC cited the company's acquisition of 158,000 square feet of floor space in Fremont as an indication that the increase in manufacturing capacity may suggest the company is enjoying greater demand than previously thought, and that a rising backlog is likely.

Is the smart move to power your portfolio with Bloom stock today?

While many investors are finding sufficient motivation to acquire Bloom stock, it's important to recognize that RBC Capital's conclusion is speculative. Conservative investors interested in gaining exposure to fuel cell and hydrogen stocks would be better served by waiting for confirmation of the company's growing backlog when Bloom reports third-quarter 2026 financial results in the coming weeks.

The 30-year Treasury just hit a 22-year high — and the bond market is not pricing the Fed, it is pricing the deficitThe 30-year Treasury yield closed at 5.56% on 28 September, the highest since June 2004, while the 10-year reached 5.24% and the 20-year 5.60%. The curve has steepened roughly 30bp in eight sessions even as October hike odds sit at 70.3%. That gap is the story: the long end is repricing fiscal and inflation risk, not policy.
