FinanceNebius Group (NBIS) announced during its Q2 earnings call that it will use Bloom Energy's (BE) solid oxide fuel cells for its planned 300-megawatt AI data center in Vineland, New Jersey. Nebius executives cited Bloom's technology as quieter, more reliable, and ultra-low-emission, helping overcome local permitting and community opposition. The endorsement sent BE stock up 12.3% on August 12, 2026. Bloom Energy, a leader in fuel cell technology, is positioned as a key player in the AI infrastructure race due to rising data center power demands. Despite a 457% gain over the past 52 weeks, BE stock had faced recent pressure from short-seller allegations regarding scandium oxide sourcing and a broader market rotation out of AI stocks. The Nebius deal provides a timely positive catalyst for the stock.
