NuScale is essentially a high-stakes bet on whether its NRC-approved reactor design can win enough real power-plant orders to justify a multi-billion-dollar valuation today. The company is still losing large amounts of money and diluting shareholders heavily. Even if the big TVA deal and AI power demand materialize, the growth needed to support the current stock price looks extremely ambitious. The main risk is that execution slips or competitors catch up before NuScale turns cash-flow positive.
