Nuclear Stocks Slide as Piper Sandler Splits the Sector: Oklo, NuScale Power and X-Energy All Drop 5%

24/7 Wall Street · 10 Sept 2026negative

Shares of Oklo, NuScale Power, and X-Energy fell about 5% in Thursday afternoon trading after Piper Sandler issued a split rating action across advanced nuclear stocks. The decline affected all three companies together, with Oklo trading down 5% to $40.

Stock Picks From Seeking Alpha's August 2026 New Analysts

Seeking Alpha · 8 Sept 2026neutral

Construction Firms Powering the Nuclear Renaissance

ETF Trends · 8 Sept 2026neutral

The article highlights that investors in the nuclear renaissance tend to focus on reactor developers and uranium miners, while potentially overlooking opportunities in nuclear-adjacent industries such as construction firms. It argues that this narrow view could cause investors to miss out on returns from related companies.

Why it matters — XE watchers would care because it notes that nuclear-adjacent companies, including construction- and infrastructure-related firms within the nuclear supply chain, may be part of the same broader renaissance trend that category like XE could reflect.

X-Energy Could Be Building One Of Nuclear Energy's Most Valuable Platforms

Seeking Alpha · 6 Sept 2026positive

The piece highlights pipeline customers including Dow, Amazon, and Centrica and positions XE as differentiated from pre-revenue reactor developers.

Why it matters — XE watchers would note the piece's view that the integrated fuel business could give X-energy a supply moat and annuity-like revenue, distinguishing it within the nuclear sector.
