[1] What's The Unique Content Here?
Beyond the annual and quarterly revenue and revenue growth data, we offer the ability to compare these metrics for Bloom Energy with those of its direct peers, industry, sector, and category peers. Looking at any metric in isolation does not provide information necessary to make a decision.
[2] What Are Direct And Category Peers; Why Is Comparison With Category Peers Important?
Direct Peers include select companies that fully or partially compete in the same markets as Bloom Energy. These include GrafTech International, FuelCell Energy, Woodward, Plug Power.
Category Peers are companies which exhibit similarity vs Bloom Energy when it comes to specific financial characteristics. For example, if Bloom Energy is growing fast (defined as average annual growth > 15%), then one of its category peers will be companies that lie in the same growth band.
Comparison with category peers offers additional insights to aid an investment decision. The financial characteristics that we define for category peers are also some of the commonly used filters that investors will apply while choosing investments. For instance, if you decide to invest only in highly profitable companies because that's a key part of your investment thesis, and if Bloom Energy happens to be one them, then it makes sense to compare it with other highly profitable companies. Why? Because given similar margin band, if Bloom Energy's revenue growth consistently exceeds that of others, then the likelihood of higher profit growth goes up.

[5] Why Is there No Data Before 2016?
We believe in focused and action-oriented data. Our goal is to help users make sound investment decisions for which, we believe 5 years of historical data is sufficient. The markets and consumer preferences are evolving rapidly with technology acting as a catalyst. In addition, the disruption caused by Covid-19 has forced organizations and customers to re-think how they operate. This renders older data irrelevant from perspective of making an investment decision today.
