Bloom Energy Corporation closed at USD 201.45, down 0.51%.
The session featured a standout $1.98 million double call purchase at the $260 strike expiring September 18, 2026, alongside a $112,500 net-debit call-plus-put combination. Both trades were net-debit, upside-oriented structures with all strikes currently out of the money, reflecting a pronounced willingness to pay premium for long-dated bullish exposure rather than collect premium or hedge existing positions.

Options Indicators
BE’s implied volatility is 87.25%, while its IV percentile is just 1.99%, which indicates that although the absolute IV level remains high, it is sitting near the bottom of its own historical range. In other words, current option pricing is relatively cheap versus where BE options have typically traded, and the IV/HV ratio of 0.74 further suggests implied volatility is running below realized volatility rather than at a premium. Overall, this points to a low-side volatility pricing backdrop, with options looking comparatively inexpensive in historical terms.
The Call/Put volume ratio is 1.66.
Large Trades
A three-leg CALL+PUT combination with a net debit of $112,500 stands out as a defined-structure directional options play expiring on September 18, 2026. The trade bought the 230.0 call while simultaneously selling the 165.0 put and the 260.0 call, with all three strikes currently out of the money versus the $201.45 stock reference. This is effectively a bullish call spread financed in part by short put premium, creating a net-debit bullish risk reversal-style structure. Strategically, it points to a directional upside bet with cost control, where the trader is looking for BE to rise meaningfully above current levels, while accepting downside assignment risk below 165.0 in exchange for reducing premium outlay.
A $1.98 million same-direction double CALL buy was the other displayed large trade, consisting of two purchases of the 260.0 call expiring on September 18, 2026, and both legs were out of the money at the time of execution. As a net-debit call accumulation, this is a clear high-conviction bullish volatility trade rather than premium collection or hedging. The buyer is paying substantial premium for upside convexity, signaling an expectation of a large directional move higher over time, with the 260.0 strike showing the trader is targeting a significant rally from current spot.
Overall large-trade sentiment leaned bullish, with $4.05 million in bullish flow versus $3.27 million in bearish flow, for a net bullish imbalance of $773,000. The conclusion is moderately constructive: while the full tape did include notable premium-selling activity that reflects some range-bound or mildly bearish positioning, the displayed trades were both net-debit structures tied to upside participation, and the larger featured flow showed traders willing to spend premium for longer-dated upside exposure. That combination suggests the market’s large-order tone in BE is cautiously bullish, with investors positioning for upside while still showing some awareness of volatility and financing considerations.
Strategy Reference
For traders seeking a lower-margin alternative, a bull call spread such as buying the September 18, 2026 210.0 call and selling the 260.0 call against it would cap capital outlay while still participating in upside toward the high-conviction strike; alternatively, selling the 165.0 put on its own offers a low assignment probability given current spot, but requires accepting the same downside exposure as the featured risk reversal.
