RBC Cuts NuScale Price Target to $21, Keeps 'Sector Perform'

The broker maintained a neutral stance citing the lack of commercial deployment.

Overview

  • RBC lowered its target from $32 to $21 on January 20 as part of a broader clean‑energy sector preview.
  • NuScale shares fell 2.08% during the week of January 16–23, according to market tracking by Insider Monkey.
  • RBC assigned a Speculative Risk label because the company’s SMR technology has not been deployed at commercial scale.
  • The revised target still implied more than 6% upside versus recent levels, reflecting an improving macro backdrop for clean energy.
  • NuScale markets a 12‑module SMR plant capable of up to 924 MWe, and coverage notes nuclear is drawing interest from hyperscalers signing long‑term clean‑power PPAs.
