Oklo’s 750-MW advanced nuclear project removed from PJM study, spurring FERC intervention

Oklo says PJM Interconnection improperly dropped its 750-MW mixed-technology project from the grid operator’s interconnection study, delaying development by at least 14 months and increasing costs; it filed an emergency complaint with FERC on Aug. 28, 2026, asking that PJM reinstate the project in the current cycle and seek waivers to prevent study delays. PJM plans to respond, while Oklo notes the project combines synchronous units (gas and advanced nuclear) with inverter-based units (fuel cells) and is tied to Meta data centers in Ohio. The dispute arises as PJM reformulates its interconnection queue and tallies hundreds of GW of capacity in the first cycle of the reformed process.

Oklo Reaches Criticality Milestone, Yet Valuation Questions Persist

Oklo Reaches Criticality Milestone, Yet Valuation Questions Persist

Oklo (OKLO) has achieved first criticality at its Groves low-power reactor in Texas, marking progress for its Aurora modular reactor strategy. A Simply Wall St analysis argues the stock is undervalued, citing a fair value around $80.55 per share versus a recent price near $43, and highlighting long-term electricity contracts and potential AI/data-center demand as revenue drivers. NRC approval of the Principal Design Criteria reduces some regulatory uncertainty, but no commercial plants are operating yet and full NRC licensing remains unresolved, making the valuation highly dependent on aggressive growth assumptions and exposing the stock to meaningful regulatory risk if progress slows.

Oklo's Tiny Nuclear Reactor Reaches Criticality, Accelerating U.S. Nuclear Push

Oklo Inc.'s Groves Isotope Test Reactor in Texas reached criticality, achieving a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction as part of the DOE pilot program advancing small modular reactors; it’s the fifth such reactor to hit this milestone, with Washington promoting broader deployment of large and small reactors while regulatory barriers are trimmed. Oklo’s stock rose in pre-market trading on the news, highlighting continued momentum for U.S. nuclear ambitions even as no SMRs are yet operating commercially in the country.

US to repurpose surplus plutonium as fuel for advanced reactors

The U.S. Department of Energy named five companies, including Oklo, to explore turning about 20 metric tonnes of surplus Cold War plutonium into fuel for advanced nuclear reactors, with Oklo planning a collaboration with Newcleo and other participants including Exodys Energy, SHINE Technologies, Standard Nuclear, and Flibe Energy. The move, intended to use weapons-usable material as bridge fuel and attract private funding while ensuring safety, has drawn proliferation concerns and political debate over its economics and defense implications.

Amazon-Backed X-Energy IPO Spurs SMR Rivalry as Oklo, NuScale Drop

X-Energy’s Nasdaq debut surged about 27% on its first day, drawing investor interest and pushing valuation near $12 billion, while existing SMR players Oklo and NuScale Power fell on the news. The $1 billion IPO, led by Amazon and others, intensifies competition in the small modular reactor space as Nvidia ties reinforce Oklo’s position and analysts point to upside in NuScale. The move highlights continued market attention on clean energy tech and AI-powered demand driving nuclear stock dynamics.

Oklo wins NRC license as it pushes toward 2028 commercial nuclear power

Oklo’s stock wavered after earnings, but the Santa Clara-based startup scored a key win when its Atomic Alchemy subsidiary secured the Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to handle, process, and distribute isotopes, creating a new revenue stream even as its advanced fast reactors await NRC approval and the company remains pre‑revenue. 2025 net loss rose to $105.7 million on $139.2 million in operating expenses, with $1.4 billion in cash and equivalents, and management signaled ongoing losses and higher investing outlays. Positive developments include a Department of Energy agreement to support its first reactor at Idaho National Laboratory and a Meta Platforms partnership to build a nuclear campus in Ohio, underscoring progress toward Oklo’s goal of commercially deploying power around 2028 despite regulatory and funding uncertainties.

Oklo Gains After BoA Upgrade Flags Meta Deal as Milestone

Oklo stock rose about 5% after Bank of America upgraded it to Buy and lifted its price target to $127, calling Meta’s long-term 1.2 GW energy deal a meaningful step forward and evidence of execution and partner commitment, even as the company posted wider Q3 losses and pushes to deliver its first Aurora nuclear reactor by 2028; analysts’ consensus remains a Moderate Buy with an average target around $126.89, implying roughly 41% upside from current levels.

ARK's Wood Boosts Bets on TSMC, Oklo, Pony AI

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest increased its stakes in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC), Oklo, and Pony AI on the last trading day before the holiday weekend, signaling ongoing appetite for AI/tech growth. TSMC remains a high-margin cash generator despite slowing growth, Oklo is a fast-fission energy play with revenue not expected until next year, and Pony AI is a Chinese autonomous-driving name with revenue ramp expected in coming years.

Oklo Advances Amidst Q3 Losses and Market Attention

Oklo, a nuclear startup valued over $15 billion with no revenues yet, reported a larger-than-expected Q3 loss but announced significant progress on major projects, including a DOE-approved facility and a prototype reactor expected by July 2026. Its shares surged, driven by optimism about nuclear energy's role in powering data centers and government backing, making it a standout performer among nuclear stocks. Meanwhile, retail investors are shifting focus from meme stocks to gold, with increased trading activity in gold ETFs.
