???? Bullish Takeaways

RBC Capital’s Christopher Dendrinos initiated coverage at Sector Perform with a $35 target, arguing nuclear power is poised for a resurgence and positioning NuScale as a beneficiary of growing demand for always on clean power.

RBC highlights NuScale’s partnership model and scalability potential as key growth drivers, but stresses the need for more execution proof points before turning more positive on the shares.

DA Davidson’s commentary on Fluor’s plans to monetize its remaining NuScale stake supports the idea that improved liquidity and capital recycling around the ecosystem could indirectly benefit NuScale if it continues to execute against its long term pipeline.

???? Bearish Takeaways

Citi downgraded NuScale to Sell from Neutral and cut its price target to $37.50 from $46, flagging a stretched valuation and the risk that upside is already largely priced in despite execution still being at an early stage.

Citi also underscores funding and counterparty risk, pointing to potential further NuScale share sales by Fluor and the possibility that NuScale may need to pay roughly $500M to ENTRA1, which could require outside capital and weigh on equity value.

Northland’s Jeff Grampp lowered his price target to $30 from $40 while maintaining a Market Perform rating after pushing expected timing of a firm order into 2026 and revising the schedule of working capital needs tied to the Partnership Milestone Agreement, reinforcing concerns about delays and cash burn versus current valuation.
