Nuclear Energy Stock SMR Is Trading Under $10: Bargain Buy or Value Trap?
NuScale Power is developing a technology that AI data centers need. Does that make the stock's recent fall an opportunity to buy?
Overview
Less than a year ago, NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) was the poster child of the artificial intelligence (AI) energy craze. The nuclear energy stock catapulted to an all-time high of $57.42 on Oct. 16, 2025.
The rally, however, fizzled out even faster than it built up, with NuScale shares slumping 61% in just the last quarter of 2025 and failing to recover since. The stock has now fallen 75% in one year and is trading below $10 as of this writing.
Details
Make no mistake: The AI power narrative isn't hype. AI data centers consume astronomical amounts of power, putting immense pressure on existing grids. This has forced governments and corporations to seek reliable, low-carbon energy alternatives to meet their growing power needs without abandoning their carbon-emission goals.
