  "account": "Bloom Energy, a developer of solid oxide fuel cells, has seen its stock surge 1,880% over the past two years. This impressive growth, coupled with increasing profits, led to its inclusion in the S&P 500 on September 21, 2026. This move may pave the way for even greater gains in the coming years. Bloom's solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) leverage natural gas, biogas, propane, and hydrogen to generate electricity without combustion, a process that can be quickly implemented in under two months, bypassing traditional utility connections. The surge in the AI market has driven big data center operators to adopt Bloom's SOFC systems for expanding cloud infrastructure. The company's Power Connect System, which cuts installation time by over 40%, is expected to further accelerate deployments and strengthen its competitive edge. Brookfield Asset Management, one of the world's largest asset managers, has funded Bloom's production and deployment through a $25 billion partnership. Between 2023 and 2025, Bloom's revenue and EBITDA grew at compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) of 23% and 82%, respectively. By the end of 2025, its backlog had reached $20 billion, ten times its revenue from the full year. This inclusion in the S&P 500 marks a pivotal transition for Bloom Energy from a niche green energy player to a high-growth AI infrastructure stock. Its inclusion ensures participation in any index fund or ETF tracking the S&P 500, potentially increasing trading volume. Analysts anticipate significant revenue and EBITDA growth for Bloom in the years ahead, suggesting strong potential for continued upside.",
