In short: Named alongside X-Energy as an upstart making "steady progress at inking commercial deals" for new reactors; up 12% on Thursday "with Holtec out of the picture" — the market reading the withdrawal as less competition for the same pool of nuclear capital. Same caveat: years from switch-on, regulatory hurdles ahead.
Oklo is another start-up reactor developer, paired in the article with X-Energy: both have been signing deals for new reactors, and both rose 12% the day Holtec pulled out of the stock market. It is the same "less competition for investor money" reaction.
The same warning applies too. Signed deals are not operating reactors; Oklo's are years away and still need regulatory approval. The article's bigger point — don't abandon the nuclear industry because one IPO failed — is supportive, but the one-day rally reflects relief, not new evidence that the reactors will work on time or on budget.
In short: Energy tech, nuclear: building out new reactor technologies "so that we're operating more efficiently on a go-forward basis."
Oklo is developing small, next-generation nuclear reactors. He groups it with NuScale as the new nuclear technologies that should let the power system run more efficiently going forward — the higher-growth, earlier-stage end of the fund.
11:42You've got companies like an Oklo or an SMR that are building out some of these new nuclear reactors and new kinds of technologies so that we're operating more efficiently on a go-forward basis. So there's just a tremendous universe of companies and industries that are helping the power value chain grow and deliver what it needs to in order for our AI economy to grow.
In short: "The hottest of the bunch," originally backed by Sam Altman, rallied nearly 3,000% in a little over a year; the road has been longer and bumpier than investors expected, and valuations across the group "mostly remain too hot" — wait for nuclear to go out of fashion.
Oklo is developing small reactors and has no meaningful business yet — its value rests on the future. Originally backed by OpenAI's Sam Altman, it was the hottest nuclear stock, rising nearly 3,000% in a little over a year. Jakab's point is that building reactors is slow and bumpy, and even after big falls the speculative nuclear names are still priced as though the good outcome is certain. His advice is patience: nuclear goes in and out of fashion about once a decade, and the better time to buy is when nobody wants it.
In short: Named as one of the novel-reactor developers whose success Standard Nuclear's fuel business depends on — part of the "broader nuclear ecosystem" building the small/micro reactors that will need TRISO fuel.
In short: One of five companies the DOE funded (Feb 5, $19M total) to recycle spent nuclear fuel — cited as evidence that capital is flowing into the fuel cycle (the real vulnerability), a way to loosen Rosatom's enrichment grip without waiting a decade for new mines.
Oklo is one of five companies the US Department of Energy just funded to recycle used nuclear fuel. Prins highlights this because the weak link in nuclear isn't reactors — it's the fuel supply, which Russia's Rosatom dominates. Recycling spent fuel is a way to get around that without waiting a decade for new mines. She uses Oklo as proof that government money is now flowing into the fuel side of the business, not just reactors.
In short: "All crappy garbage": among the top of Friday's short-covering baskets (UBS/GS), the OKLO/SMR nuclear-tech names dragged his real uranium miners up in sympathy — the sympathy relationship that needs a "Trump wedge" of government announcements to break.
In short: Named pejoratively: "OKLO meme-type garbage" driving the URA ETF and dragging real uranium miners into the AI/power-momentum selloff — the froth uranium equities need to separate from.
