In its Q2 2026 earnings update, Bloom Energy noted a continued increase in its AI data center backlog, growing faster than revenue. As of early 2026, the total backlog reached $20 billion, with product backlog at $6 billion, a 140% year-over-year increase, primarily driven by surging electricity demand from AI infrastructure buildout. The remaining approximately $14 billion consists of service-related backlog, bundled with fuel cell sales, forming a stable recurring revenue stream. The company achieved profitability in Q1 and Q2 2026, indicating that AI demand is transforming its business landscape.
