NuScale Power Is Still Down 32% This Year. What Will It Take to Get SMR Stock Back to $15?
NuScale Power (SMR) reported Q2 FY2026 revenue of $75,000, down 99.1% YoY, and a GAAP loss of -$0.13 per share, while net loss widened to $47.54 million. The company’s diluted share count rose to 364.5M after about $984.48M net equity proceeds. CEO John Hopkins cited TVA and Romania RoPower catalysts.

The 30-second read
Why it matters
The key trade question is whether regulatory/design progress and partner conversations translate into signed customer orders; until then, dilution and lack of revenue visibility likely cap upside.
Market read
SMR’s fundamentals (revenue collapse and dilution) remain the dominant near-term driver, while the only meaningful upside catalysts described are conditional on future agreement signing and project progress.
What to watch
The article notes the Fluor RoPower engineering contract wound down with no replacement work booked, implying near-term revenue visibility may worsen before any TVA/Romania milestones materialize.
Background
NuScale is a pre-revenue small modular reactor developer whose recent performance has been dominated by collapsing revenue and heavy dilution.
Ticker impact
NuScale reported Q2 FY2026 revenue of $75,000 and dilution to ~365M shares, while CEO cited TVA and Romania as potential catalysts toward $15.
Near-term trading likely stays catalyst-driven, with downside risk if no definitive TVA/Romania agreement emerges and dilution continues.
Reported Q2 revenue collapse and large share-count expansion are concrete negatives, while the only upside levers described are conditional (agreement signing, project movement) rather than newly confirmed orders.
Market effects
Highlights how single-name SMR execution risk and dilution can diverge from broader uranium/nuclear basket performance.
Potential US TVA procurement narrative could influence US small modular reactor sentiment if it progresses to a signed PPA.
Romania RoPower progress is positioned as a second leg for investor repricing, linking European SMR project momentum to US-listed sentiment.
Counterpoint
Even with design certification and partner agreements, SMR may remain pre-revenue for longer, so $15 is more a sentiment target than a near-term earnings path.
