Overview
- NuScale climbed 15.14% on Monday to close at $18.78 after a roughly 15% gain Friday that ended at $16.31, marking two straight strong sessions to start 2026.
- The House Energy Subcommittee said it will hold a hearing to examine licensing and deployment of nuclear power and how to implement recent laws and policies that support the industry.
- Rising optimism lifted peers including Centrus Energy, Oklo, and BWX Technologies, underscoring a broad nuclear rally rather than a company-specific catalyst.
- NuScale has not issued new announcements since November 6, while prior NRC approval of its 77‑MW SMR and President Trump’s executive orders form the policy backdrop for investor enthusiasm.
- Most analysts surveyed by S&P Global do not expect NuScale to turn a profit before 2030, highlighting ongoing questions about near‑term fundamentals despite the rally.
