Class Action Filed Against Bloom Energy
On August 12, 2026, Levi & Korsinsky, LLP announced that they are representing investors in Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE: BE) as a class action lawsuits has been filed against the company. This action is concerning allegations that Bloom Energy misled its shareholders regarding its supply chain and specifically its dependence on Chinese sources for critical materials.
Background of the Allegations
Shareholders who purchased Bloom Energy stocks between February 27, 2025, and July 8, 2026, may qualify for recovery under this class action. Recently, a published research report raised concerns regarding the origins of Bloom's scandium supply which subsequently led to a significant drop in the stock price from $269.57 to $254.29 per share - decreasing by $15.28 or 5.7% within a single trading day, fueled by unusually high trading volume.
What Sparked this Class Action?
The allegations point to Bloom Energy's routing of key materials through intermediaries located in Thailand, Japan, South Korea, India, and Taiwan, contradicting its statements that claimed it had “no China supply chain.” Scandium, a rare earth element vital for stabilizing the ceramic electrolytes used in Bloom's solid oxide fuel cells, was reportedly shipped to Bloom's facilities through various channels linked to China.
The unfolding story reveals a potential supply chain manipulation where shipments were redirected to bypass direct exports to the U.S. under the guise of reducing exposure to U.S. tariffs. Such strategies included routing shipments to overseas suppliers who would complete the assembly before forwarding the finalized products to the United States.
Key Facts from Allegations
The legal complaint lays out several astonishing statistics concerning Bloom’s sourcing practices:
- - Over 154 metric tons of ceramic electrolyte membranes were shipped to Bloom from a Thailand-based subsidiary of a Chinese corporation between July 2024 and November 2025.
- - Nearly 300 drums of scandium-stabilized powder were sourced from Japan, which allegedly has ties to a Chinese provincial trading company.
- - 127 billion won ($83 million) value of purchases was made in 2025 by a South Korean supplier from a company linked to its Chinese parent.
- - A whopping 70% of Bloom’s temperature sensor acquisitions traced back to a single manufacturer based in China, built over a relationship lasting nearly two decades.
- - Furthermore, projections showed more than 50 billion won in production capacities associated with Korean ceramic substrates tied to increasing orders from Bloom.

Joseph E. Levi, Esq. of Levi & Korsinsky articulated the gravity of the situation, stating, “The complaint raises serious questions about whether investors received accurate information about where Bloom Energy's critical fuel cell materials actually originated.” The allegations contend that shareholders were misled regarding the company's reliance on Chinese materials, which could significantly impact their investment decisions and financial health.
