Set against the gigawatt headlines, the disclosed AI segment is about 250 MW across roughly two dozen customers — less than one quarter of shipments at the basis rate. This case holds the named frameworks flat and grows only the book Bloom has actually quantified, which is the shape the disclosure supports today rather than the shape the press releases imply.

Site work that turns delivered boxes on. Economically a pass-through Bloom runs at or below cost, and structurally a shrinking claim on the P&L: as deployments move to AI-scale campuses where a financier or EPC contracts the civil and electrical work directly, less of it lands in Bloom's revenue at all. Installation was 17.1% of product revenue in 2025 Q3 and 4.0% and 5.4% in the two most recent quarters. It is driven off the same megawatts as product, at a falling dollar-per-megawatt.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • Gross margin has been negative in eleven of the fourteen reported quarters, ranging -35.3% to +8.9%. Modelling this line at a positive margin would misstate how Bloom actually books site work.
  • The ratio to product revenue is the real variable and it is falling hard: 17.1%, 10.5%, 4.0%, 5.4% over the last four quarters. That is a mix shift toward AI-scale sites, not a pricing change, and it is why this line does not scale with product.
