Stock Track | NuScale Power Shares Plunge on Concerns Over SMR Adoption Timeline and Equity Offering

Stock Track11-11

Shares of NuScale Power, a leading developer of small modular reactors (SMRs), plummeted by 7.68% on November 11, 2024, amid concerns over the timeline for widespread adoption of its technology and plans for a sizable equity offering.

While the growing interest and investments in SMR technology from major tech companies and governments worldwide have fueled enthusiasm for NuScale Power, investors appear to be reacting cautiously to the extended timeframe for full-scale implementation. According to reports, Kairos Energy, a company contracted by Google to build SMRs, intends to bring its first functional reactor online by 2030, with additional deployments planned through 2035. This extended timeline has raised doubts about the near-term revenue prospects for companies like NuScale Power, weighing on the stock's performance.

Additionally, NuScale Power announced plans to raise up to $200 million through an equity offering. While equity offerings can provide companies with additional capital for growth and operations, they also dilute existing shareholders' stakes. This potential dilution, coupled with concerns over the SMR adoption timeline, may have contributed to the stock's sharp decline.
