Wall Street Stance On OKLO

On Monday, Canaccord lowered the price target on Oklo to $66 from $100 and maintained a ‘Buy’ rating on the shares. The firm said that the winds for nuclear stocks have shifted. Nuclear stocks, which were once lauded, have now retreated and the intense investor appetite of a year ago has cooled, the firm said. 

Canaccord added that much of this fatigue likely stems from a crowded stampede of upstarts, all scrambling to claim a throne in the West's tentative nuclear re-emergence.

Meanwhile, Craig-Hallum also lowered the price target on Oklo to $27 from $53 and kept a ‘Hold’ rating on the shares after its Q3 results. The firm said that Oklo is making tangible progress and is in execution mode, as evidenced by advancements in power, the supply chain, in fuel and fuel fabrication, and Isotopes. 

The analyst noted that the company is putting its balance sheet to work to support its endeavors, but cautioned that it remains to be seen whether it is spread too thin or whether the capital requirements prove too heavy a lift for one company.
