Nuclear Stocks Surge Despite Recent Volatility and Industry Developments

Oklo, a nuclear power startup, experienced a significant stock decline after reaching a record high, amid ongoing developments in small modular reactors (SMRs) and mixed analyst opinions. Despite a 500% increase this year, the stock remains unprofitable with plans to commercialize its first reactor by 2028, while broader nuclear stocks also faced declines. The sector is supported by government backing and strategic partnerships, but valuation concerns persist.
