2 Nuclear Stocks Crashed by About 50% in 2026. Here's the 1 Thing That Would Bring Them Back.
Many stocks in the nuclear space have lost ground this year.
Overview
2026 has been a rough year for many nuclear energy stocks, but it has been particularly painful for companies specializing in small modular reactors (SMRs).
NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR), for example, has seen its share price decline by 48% this year. Oklo (NYSE: OKLO), another SMR developer, has lost 51% of its value since the start of 2026.
Details
You might understandably find it strange that nuclear stocks are falling even as demand for the energy supplies they promise to offer continues to rise. A Bank of America Institute report predicts that nuclear energy will be a $10 trillion opportunity over the next two-and-a-half decades as AI companies desperately search for new power sources for their massive and electricity-hungry data centers.
