- The 10-Q segment line shows Q2'26 product revenue at ~$935M, up ~43% QoQ, with ~308MW accepted at ~$3.0M/MW.
- Consensus ~$900M implies ~296MW accepted, ~4% fewer than Q2'26, versus ~316MW in the bottoms-up estimate.
Consensus implies Q3'26 product revenue has fallen ~4% QoQ, while bottoms-up implies it has risen ~3% after Q2'26's ~43% increase.

can you verify this - "The 10-Q segment line shows … ~308MW accepted at ~$3.0M/MW." The 10-Q shows product *revenue*, not megawatts. 308MW is back-solved from an assumed $3.0M/MW ASP, which Bloom doesn't disclose. That assumption drives the entire product-revenue estimate, so it shouldn't be presented as a filing fact.? Not sure
- The 10-Q discloses ~$935M Q2 2026 product revenue, not megawatts; ~308MW depends on an assumed ~$3.0M/MW ASP.
- At a $2.25–$3.75M/MW ASP range, implied Q2 2026 acceptances span ~249–416MW, so the MW figure is assumption-driven.
- Q3 2026 consensus product revenue is ~4% lower QoQ after Q2's ~43% rise; ASP assumptions don't alter that change.
Product revenue, the filed metric, has risen from ~384M in Q3 2025 to ~935M in Q2 2026.
