Oklo is scheduled to report its latest quarterly results after the market closes Tuesday, with traders anticipating a potentially large move in the nuclear startup’s stock following the release.
Current options pricing suggests Oklo shares are expected to move as much as 11% in either direction by the end of the week. Based on Monday’s level of around $78, that range would put the stock as high as about $87 or as low as below $70, potentially trimming some gains even as the broader market has rallied in recent weeks.
Oklo shares have climbed nearly 50% over the past month, but they remain about 60% below their October highs. Over the past 12 months, the stock has nearly tripled in value, supported by a broader boost to nuclear energy stocks as investors look for potential benefits from expectations that rising energy demand could help power AI data centers.
Investors and analysts are likely to focus on updates to Oklo’s timeline and progress toward building and starting to generate power from its first nuclear reactors.
On Monday, JPMorgan analysts initiated coverage of Oklo with a neutral rating and a $83 price target. The analysts said the company “stands out in a nascent industry,” citing its backlog and the federal government’s efforts to boost the nuclear sector. They also noted potential challenges, including permitting delays and increasing competition.
As a startup still in the process of receiving approvals required to build and operate its small nuclear reactors, Oklo is expected to continue reporting widening losses. Analyst estimates compiled by Visible Alpha indicate losses are projected to widen through the end of the year.
For the first quarter, analysts expect Oklo to report a loss of 17 cents per share, compared with a loss of 7 cents per share a year earlier.
