**Key Points on Small Modular Reactor Companies**
NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) and Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) are both involved in the production of small modular reactors (SMRs). As of September 7, 2023, NuScale holds a regulatory lead as the first SMR company to gain design certification from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, yet analysts favor Oklo for its business model which involves long-term electricity sales agreements directly to consumers.
Financially, Oklo is in a stronger position, boasting over $1.6 billion in cash with only $84.3 million in debt, compared to NuScale, which has $766.5 million in cash but $824.4 million in debt. Market outlooks reflect this disparity, with an average price target of $79.88 for Oklo—almost double its recent share price—while NuScale’s target is $12.63, only 30% above its current price.
Oklo is making strategic moves by securing pre-agreements with major tech companies like Meta Platforms and Nvidia, focusing on a dual strategy of proprietary nuclear technology and uranium supply, positioning itself for long-term revenue generation amid the growing energy demand.
