Are you looking to capitalize on the clean energy transition? Choosing between Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE) and Plug Power (NYSE:PLUG) involves betting on green hydrogen and fuel cells, although the two companies take vastly different approaches to the fuel source. Bloom Energy focuses on providing steady electricity from solid-oxide fuel cells for critical infrastructure,ure such as data centers. Plug Power aims to dominate the full hydrogen lifecycle, from production and liquefaction to fueling stations for warehouse fleets. Bloom Energy designs fuel cell systems that provide reliable, constant onsite power for commercial and industrial customers. The company operates in a competitive corner among industrial stocks , serving semiconductor manufacturers and utilities like American Electric Power (NASDAQ:AEP) . Revenue from three specific customers accounted for roughly 43%, 13%, and 12% of total sales. Such customer concentration adds a layer of risk to the business, although Bloom Energy has a large customer base overall. Continue reading

Paramount Skydance Corp. stretched , then stretched , then stretched again in its audacious $110 billion takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. Now the companies’ bankers — and even the billionaire Ellison family itself — are doing the same as they prepare to bring the massive $50 billion debt sale for the buyout to market. On the Warner Bros. side, a JPMorgan Chase & Co. -led bank group seized on red-hot demand for leveraged loans to save hundreds of millions of dollars in interest costs by refinancing a $15 billion bridge loan with longer-term debt. The lenders boosted the transaction’s size twice in a week, making it the largest so-called term loan B ever to hit the market, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Warner Bros.’ credit grade, on the higher end for junk-rated borrowers, coupled with scarce supply of new leveraged loans, helped garner more than $30 billion of orders from investors, according to people with knowledge of the transaction. Paramount, meantime, has been working to convince credit-rating firms that it’ll keep its debt load contained enough to merit investment grade ratings on some of its obligations — a crucial step to cap financing costs that could otherwise overwhelm the combined entity. Chief Executive Officer David Ellison pledged that his family would do what it takes to keep Paramount’s leverage in line with forecasts. Combined, the efforts speak to the remarkable nature of Paramount’s move to consolidate two of Hollywood’s largest legacy media companies. They also show how, even after pulling out seemingly every stop to knock Netflix Inc. out of the running, including guaranteeing the deal with Larry Ellison ’s $247 billion personal fortune, the companies and their bankers are still eying every lever to pull to ensure the mega-merger’s success. “Markets have anticipated these financings for months, but the structure is exceptionally complex,” said Grant Nachman , Chief Investment Officer at Shorecliff Asset Management. “Eleme...

SoftBank Group Corp. plans to invest as much as €75 billion ($87 billion) to build artificial intelligence data centers in France, La Tribune and the Financial Times reported . The Japanese group is set to invest the first €45 billion to construct two data centers in Le Bosquel and Dunkirk, which will become operational in 2028 and 2031, La Tribune cited SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son as saying in an interview. The investment is part of a broader buildout of AI infrastructure by SoftBank. Son said French President Emmanuel Macron proposed the idea during a recent meeting with him in Tokyo. “I was very impressed by the fact that Emmanuel Macron is so personally committed to ensuring France’s economic success, even though our investments have so far been concentrated mainly in the US, as well as in Japan and Asia,” Son told La Tribune. Bloomberg has reported that Son floated the idea of SoftBank investing as much as $100 billion in France. The Japanese investor, who was used to fielding similar inquiries from various company chiefs, was intrigued by an approach made directly by a head of state and started reviewing the matter in earnest.
