The Case for and Against Buying NuScale Right Now

NuScale Power, a small modular reactor (SMR) developer, has lost 75% of its value over the past year. While the company benefits from first-mover advantage with NRC-certified SMR design, government support, and growing AI data center demand for clean baseload power, it lacks a commercial reactor sale and faces uncertainty about its business economics. The stock remains highly volatile and suitable only for risk-tolerant investors.
