Bloom Energy surges after topping expectations for sales, EPS

Here’s how the print looked at first glance.

Fuel cell-based power provider and momentum stock par excellence Bloom Energy reported its Q4 numbers after the close of trading on Thursday.

The company reported:

  • Q4 diluted adjusted earnings per share of $0.45 vs. the $0.31 expected by analysts, according to FactSet.

  • Revenue of $777.7 million vs. the $648.5 million consensus forecast.

  • Operating income of $87.5 million vs. the $61.9 million analysts had expected.

Bloom Energy has been on a remarkable run over the last year, rising over 400%, with the momentum building in the early days of 2026.

The shares were up roughly 94% year to date through Tuesday, but then the price tumbled about 20%.

Such swings are fairly common for the shares. Goldman Sachs includes Bloom Energy in its High Beta Momentum Long basket of themed stocks, which it describes as “highly reactive & tradable past winners” — that is, top performers over the last year.

Robinhood Q4 revenue misses estimates, but earnings beat

Robinhood Markets posted fourth-quarter revenue that fell short of analysts’ estimates, but earnings topped Wall Street’s forecasts.

The stock, crypto, and options trading platform reported:

  • Q4 earnings per share of $0.66 vs. analysts’ consensus estimate of $0.63, according to FactSet.

  • Sales of $1.28 billion vs. expectations of $1.35 billion.

  • Transaction-based revenue of $776 million vs. expectations of $797.6 million. 

Shares of the company were down 5.4% shortly after the report.

Robinhood shares notched gains of 193% and 204% in 2024 and 2025, respectively, though they’ve recently given up some of those gains amid volatility in the crypto markets.

The tech sector’s biggest winners and losers are swapping places

It’s bizarro world for the tech sector.

Software stocks, the market’s collective whipping boy in 2026 in light of the presumptive threat of AI disruption, are continuing to recover on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the biggest winners of the AI boom this year — memory stocks, benefiting from intense shortages — are taking their turn in the red.

The iShares Expanded Tech Software ETF’s gains are being led by Datadog, a rare case of a software stock rising after reporting earnings this season, with heavyweights Oracle and ServiceNow outperforming the industry. Figma, which isn’t in this product, is also up double digits.

On the other side of the spectrum, Micron, Sandisk, Seagate Technology Holdings, and Western Digital are selling off.

The seesaw of modern markets often requires that as one group’s fortunes inflect positively after a long drubbing, so too must a high-flyer have its wings clipped.

That is, if you’re a portfolio manager long memory and short software stocks, and enough investors are willing to catch a falling knife and buy the beaten-down group, staying market-neutral and reducing this position would require you to purchase software and dump some memory stocks.
