NuScale Power Stock Is Down 75% in 12 Months. Here's Why.
NuScale Power is falling sharply. Should investors buy the dip?
Overview
In the summer of 2025, nuclear energy stocks were having a moment. Indeed, if you had bought shares in the VanEck Uranium and Nuclear ETF on June 30 of last year and stayed invested until at least Oct. 15, your investment would have grown roughly 47% -- an astonishing return for an exchange-traded fund (ETF).
Mention of Oct. 15 in the above example isn't arbitrary. It was, in retrospect, the peak of enthusiasm for nuclear energy stocks. Indeed, if you had bought shares of the VanEck Uranium and Nuclear ETF on Oct. 15, 2025, and stayed invested until today, your investment would have lost about 30% of its original value by now.
