So, NuScale. (SMR 3.95%). Look, I’m a trader. I see numbers. And these numbers… they’re just asking for trouble. Down 75% from its high? It’s practically begging to be shorted. Though, honestly, everything is begging to be shorted these days. It’s just a matter of timing. And avoiding eye contact with the optimistic analysts. They’re terrifying.
Everyone’s talking about nuclear being “hot” again. Fine. Good for them. But NuScale? It’s like they’re actively trying to be the exception. Are we seeing a genuine warning sign, or just a temporary blip? Honestly, who can tell anymore? It’s exhausting.
A First-Mover’s…Journey?
They reported earnings. February 26th. A date I will now forever associate with mild indigestion. They claim a “first-mover advantage.” Okay, great. So they’re the first to lose a ton of money on these small modular reactors? That’s a legacy. The NRC approved their design. Years of approvals! You’d think they’d have figured out something by now. It’s not like building a Lego set. Although, sometimes it feels that way.
Big Tech needs power, apparently. More power. More demands. Fine. But SMRs? It’s a solution looking for a problem, isn’t it? They partnered with ENTRA1. ENTRA1! I looked them up. It’s like a pop-up ad for a power company. And now there are lawsuits. Lawsuits! Of course there are lawsuits. It’s always something. They allege NuScale overstated ENTRA1’s capabilities. You don’t say? It’s unbelievable. The audacity!
The numbers are… humbling. Deeply unprofitable. Years away from actually deploying anything. They’re burning through cash like it’s going out of style. They have $1.3 billion in liquidity. For now. It’s like watching someone slowly drain their savings account. It’s deeply unsettling. I need a sandwich.
Bad News, Baked In?
The stock is volatile. Shocking. It’s underperforming everyone. Nano Nuclear, Oklo… they’re all doing better. It’s like a competition to see who can lose the least amount of money. And NuScale is losing. Badly. But maybe, just maybe, all the bad news is already priced in. It’s a thought. A fleeting, desperate thought.
So, could NuScale be the smartest investment? Look, I’m not saying it is. I’m just saying it’s… plausible. The SMR market could be big. $16 billion big. If they can actually deliver. And if they don’t completely implode. It’s a long shot. A very long shot. But I’ve seen longer shots pay off. Usually involving a questionable poker game and a very lenient bookie.
If they maintain this “first-mover advantage” and deploy quickly, maybe they’ll skyrocket. If they can manage the cash burn and prove these reactors actually work… a golden ticket, they say. It’s a lot of “ifs.” A terrifying number of “ifs.”
NuScale Could Take Off…Or Not
This stock is for people who enjoy suffering. People who like to watch their money disappear slowly. Risk tolerance is a must. Multi-year patience is essential. It’s not for the faint of heart. It’s not for anyone with a functioning nervous system.
There’s a lot that could go wrong. Especially if the ENTRA1 partnership fails. Which, let’s be honest, it probably will. Still, for the SMR optimists… there’s too much potential gain to stay on the sidelines. Though, honestly, staying on the sidelines sounds increasingly appealing. I need a vacation. And a new accountant.
