Bloom Energy’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 66 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 4 days ago when the stock gained 3% on the news that an analyst at Susquehanna raised the firm's price target on the stock. The investment firm boosted its price objective on the fuel-cell manufacturer to $30 from $26, while maintaining a "Positive" rating on the shares. A price target is the projected price level an analyst believes a stock will reach in a certain period. This new target suggests a potential upside of nearly 16% from the stock's previous closing price, signaling renewed confidence from the analyst in the company's outlook.

Bloom Energy is up 45.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $33.93 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Bloom Energy’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,092.
