NuScale Power recently inked an important contract, but it still has a lot of work to do before its energy- generating business is sustainable. NuScale Power (SMR -6.43%) announced a big deal in October 2023. It was the first order for its small-scale nuclear power plants. A total of 24 units are expected to be used to produce nearly 2 gigawatts of power in Ohio and Pennsylvania. That's great, but don't get too excited. NuScale Power's stock price is up nearly 200% over the past six months. The contract win ...

Company Overview - NuScale Power operates in the nuclear power sector, focusing on small modular reactors (SMRs) that are cost-effective and scalable, with the ability to operate up to 12 units simultaneously [1][2] - The company has obtained U S regulatory approval for its SMR technology, making it the only technology provider and producer of SMRs with such approval [4] - NuScale recently signed a deal to deliver up to 24 reactors for power projects in Ohio and Pennsylvania, marking a significant step forward [4] Financial Performance - NuScale ended Q1 2024 with approximately $130 million in cash on its balance sheet [5] - The company reported a quarterly loss of $16 5 million, driven by $13 1 million in R&D spending, $19 4 million in general and administrative costs, and $12 1 million in other costs [5] - NuScale is still in the development stage, with high costs expected to persist in the foreseeable future, and management acknowledges the likelihood of continued losses [5] Market Sentiment and Valuation - NuScale's stock has surged over 150% in the last three months, reflecting investor optimism about its potential [1][3] - Despite the rally, the company has yet to deliver a single operational nuclear power plant, making it largely a "story stock" at this stage [4][5] - The company's cash balance can only support about three quarters of spending at current levels, indicating a need for additional funding in the near future [5] Industry Context - Nuclear power is a clean energy source that provides consistent output without carbon dioxide emissions, making it a potential complement to variable renewable energy sources like solar and wind [1] - The high cost and image problems associated with large nuclear power plants have hindered widespread adoption, but NuScale's SMRs aim to address these challenges [2] Investment Considerations - NuScale's current valuation may be driven more by speculative optimism than concrete achievements, as the company has not yet proven its ability to deliver reactors at scale or profitably [4][5][7] - The company's long-term success depends on its ability to consistently and profitably produce nuclear power units, which may take years to demonstrate [5][7] - Aggressive investors may consider NuScale as a high-risk, high-reward opportunity, but the stock may still be too early for most investors to buy [1][7]

Investors love unprofitable nuclear power plant company NuScale Power. But I'd prefer to see it earn a profit before buying the stock. Last week was a great week to own nuclear fuel stocks like Cameco (CCJ 1.40%), as the Biden administration announced tenders to buy $3.4 billion worth of nuclear fuel for American atomic power plants. NuScale Power remains a company in start-up mode. While it often boasts it's "the industry-leading provider of proprietary and innovative advanced small modular reactor (SMR) n ...
