Bloom Energy Corporation closed at $237.16, up 12.29%.
The session's notable options activity was dominated by a single, substantial $1.34 million premium-collection structure, rather than outright directional bets. The large trade involved a same-direction sale of deep out-of-the-money puts, generating significant income while the stock rallied sharply, setting a complex backdrop for options sentiment.

Options Indicators
BE’s implied volatility stands at 100.00%, but its IV percentile is only 13.94%, which indicates that despite the high absolute IV level, current option volatility is still sitting near the lower end of its own historical range. Combined with an IV/HV ratio of 0.69, this suggests implied volatility is running below realized volatility, and overall the options appear relatively cheaply priced rather than expensive. The Call/Put volume ratio is 0.75.
Large Trades
A net-credit put combination worth $1.34 million was the standout large trade, structured as a same-direction double put sale expiring on September 18, 2026. The trader sold 2,199 contracts of the 160.0 put and 2,199 contracts of the 155.0 put, both out of the money versus the $237.16 reference stock price, for a total net credit of $1.34 million. This is a premium-collection strategy that leans on range-bound trading and the expectation that BE remains comfortably above those lower strikes into expiration; because the position involves short puts at two downside levels, it carries a neutral-to-bearish tone in the flow classification while still fundamentally expressing confidence that any decline will stay limited rather than turn into a deep breakdown.
Overall sentiment from all large trades was bearish, with total bullish flow at $0.00 million versus total bearish flow at $1.34 million, leaving a net difference of $1.34 million to the bearish side. The directional takeaway is clearly bearish in aggregate, although the character of the flow is not aggressively downside-chasing; instead, it reflects premium-selling activity concentrated in out-of-the-money puts, suggesting the large trader was more focused on harvesting income from elevated downside premium and positioning for stabilization above lower support levels than on outright purchasing protection or pressing a sharp bearish move.
Strategy Reference
For a seller looking to emulate the large trade’s tone with a lower margin requirement, a put credit spread using the 155.0/150.0 strikes could define risk while still capturing the elevated premium from the low IV percentile environment.
