Investors who purchased Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE: BE) securities between February 27, 2025, and July 8, 2026, must act by September 28, 2026, to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the ongoing securities class action. Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP and The Rosen Law Firm have issued reminders urging shareholders to secure qualified representation before the court-imposed cutoff.
The case, captioned Nevins v. Bloom Energy Corporation (No. 26-cv-07944) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleges that Bloom Energy and certain executives misled the market about its reliance on Chinese scandium for solid oxide fuel cells. The complaint follows a July 8, 2026, report by Hunterbrook Media titled "Bloom’s Big Lie," which cited trade data and satellite imagery to claim dependence on Chinese sources. Bloom Energy’s stock fell $15.28, or 5.7%, to close at $254.29 per share on unusually heavy volume following the report.
Case Allegations and Background
The action contends that defendants failed to disclose that Bloom Energy obtained scandium through intermediaries who sourced the metal from China. The complaint alleges that these omissions made positive statements about the company’s business and operations materially misleading. Specifically, the filing challenges disclosures stating that Bloom’s "supply chain is not dependent on China" and "does not have significant exposure to China."

Named Defendants and Executive Roles
The complaint names Maciej Kurzymski, Bloom Energy’s Acting Principal Financial Officer from May 2, 2025, until April 12, 2026, as an individual defendant. Kurzymski held principal financial responsibility during the period covering quarterly reports for periods ended June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025, and the annual report for fiscal year 2025 filed February 5, 2026.
Plaintiffs allege that filings during Kurzymski’s tenure stated that Bloom Energy’s "supply chain is not dependent on China," while the fiscal 2025 annual report added that the Company’s "supply chain does not have significant exposure to China." The October 28, 2025, quarterly report described China exposure as limited to "tier 2 and tier 3 sub-assembly suppliers." The complaint asserts these characterizations understated the Company’s alleged dependence on Chinese scandium. Individual defendants are alleged to be liable under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act.
Supply Chain Rerouting Allegations
The complaint details allegations that Bloom Energy rerouted its supply chain to mitigate U.S. tariff policies. A Chinese sensor supplier reportedly told the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in November 2025 that Bloom had begun changing its supply-chain process. This involved directing shipments not to the United States but to "other overseas suppliers," such as Kaori Heat Treatment in Taiwan and MTAR Technologies in India, who completed assembly before shipping to the U.S.
As pleaded, scandium reached Bloom’s U.S. operations along four China-linked routes:
- Scandium oxide shipped directly to the Newark, Delaware plant on at least four occasions between August 2023 and May 2024.
- Scandium-bearing ceramics and powders moving through intermediaries in Thailand, Japan, and South Korea.
A sales representative for Hunan Oriental Scandium was quoted in the Hunterbrook Media report stating, "We are also BE’s largest supplier of scandium."
Operational Sourcing Data
The complaint cites specific trade volumes to support allegations of understated dependence on Chinese material:
- More than 154 metric tons of ceramic electrolyte membranes shipped to Bloom from a Thailand-based subsidiary of a Chinese group between July 2024 and November 2025.
- Nearly 300 drums of "scandia" or "scandia-stabilized" powder received from a Japanese supplier whose corporate network includes a Chinese zirconium-compounds trading subsidiary.
- 127 billion won ($83 million) in 2025 purchases by a South Korean electrolyte materials supplier from its Chinese parent’s Hong Kong unit.
- More than 70% of Bloom’s temperature sensor purchases attributed to a single Chinese manufacturer over a roughly two-decade relationship.
- Approximately 50 billion won in expected Korean ceramic substrate production capacity tied to expanding Bloom orders.
Disclosure Gaps Alleged
The complaint challenges several alleged disclosure gaps in Bloom Energy’s periodic reports:
- Filings affirmatively stated the supply chain was "not dependent on China" rather than disclosing alleged indirect sourcing through intermediaries.
- Alleged sourcing of scandium-bearing ceramics and powders through Thailand, Japan, and South Korea was allegedly not sufficiently disclosed in risk factor language.
- Tariff and export-control risk was framed around "other countries where we do source materials," allegedly understating exposure to Beijing’s rare earth export controls.
- The stated adverse gross margin impact of approximately one percent for fiscal year 2025, against 29% margin guidance, allegedly reflected an incomplete picture of tariff exposure.
- Tier 2 and tier 3 framing allegedly did not address a supplier that described itself in a November 2025 Shenzhen Stock Exchange filing as accounting for more than 70% of Bloom’s purchases of a key sensor component.

How might the alleged supply chain rerouting through Taiwan and India expose Bloom Energy to new geopolitical risks or U.S. tariff enforcement actions?
Will Bloom Energy's upcoming earnings reports include revised guidance that quantifies the potential impact of stricter scrutiny on indirect Chinese sourcing?
Could this litigation trigger broader regulatory investigations into other clean-energy firms relying on similar multi-tier supply chains for critical minerals?
