NuScale Power Stock Soars Amid Nuclear Renaissance

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Shares of NuScale Power have surged by more than 93% last month following the approval of one of its small modular nuclear reactor designs. The company has experienced a significant increase in market interest as part of the growing narrative around nuclear energy in the United States.

As of June 11, 2025, NuScale Power’s market cap stands at approximately $9 billion. The company’s share price reached $40.07, up 347% in the past year. Analysts suggest that increasing demands for electricity, partly driven by artificial intelligence data centers, are pushing major tech firms to seek new energy sources. Recently, Meta Platforms opted for a long-term power contract with Constellation Energy for 1.1 gigawatts from a nuclear reactor.

The Biden administration has also reinforced this trend by signing executive orders aimed at revitalizing the nuclear sector. While these developments may elevate the entire nuclear stock market segment, they do not directly impact NuScale Power’s financial standing which currently shows zero revenue.

Looking ahead, NuScale aims to start generating revenue from its reactors by as early as 2030. However, some analysts advise caution, noting that the company is currently operating at a loss of around $100 million in free cash flow annually. Investors must be aware that the technology behind small modular reactors is still unproven at scale and may face significant challenges.
