Is NuScale Power Going to $120?

Last October, NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) banal deed an all-time precocious of astir $57 a share. At that price, it carried a marketplace headdress of astir $17 billion, contempt generating lone astir $30 cardinal successful gross done the archetypal 9 months of 2025. At that premium, it was trading astatine astir 270 times income -- much than 68 times the aggregate of atomic heavyweight Constellation Energy (NASDAQ: CEG).

Fast-forward 7 months, and NuScale's banal is down astir 75% from that all-time high. At astir $12 a share, the institution inactive carries a $4 cardinal marketplace headdress -- not inexpensive by accepted standards.

The company, however, has been gaining momentum. It's closing successful connected its archetypal task successful Romania, and it could deploy up to 6 gigawatts (GW) of its tiny modular reactor (SMR) exertion to the Tennessee Valley Authority, successful concern with ENTRA1 Energy.

Things are looking up for NuScale. But tin the momentum instrumentality its banal to $120? Let's look astatine the math.

The mathematics down a tenfold summation for NuScale is brutal

For NuScale to ascent from astir $12 a stock to $120, its marketplace headdress would likewise request to emergence astir tenfold from here. That would instrumentality its marketplace headdress from astir $4 cardinal contiguous to astir $40 billion, assuming the stock number stays astir the same.

That fig unsocial isn't unheard of. Constellation has a marketplace valuation of $115 billion, while GE Vernova is presently at astir $290 billion. The difference, however, is that some Constellation and GE Vernova are profitable and raking successful billions of dollars of gross each quarter. Meanwhile, NuScale is burning currency and hasn't yet made an SMR sale.

Let's imagine, for the amusive of it, that NuScale is at $120 a share. If we presume it's trading astatine 25 times sales, which is inactive a affluent premium for a atomic vigor stock, past the institution would request to make astir $1.7 cardinal successful yearly gross to enactment a $40 cardinal marketplace cap. That means NuScale would request to turn its 2025 gross ($31.5 million) by astir 54 times. Not a tiny commercialized leap by immoderate means.

What would $1.7 cardinal look similar successful reactor revenue?

NuScale expects its SMR to nutrient astir 77 megawatts of power, with a people terms of astir $89 per megawatt hour. Assuming each module runs astatine 95% capableness implicit the people of a year, a azygous reactor could make astir $57 cardinal successful yearly powerfulness revenue. In total, NuScale would request astir 30 operating modules to make $1.7 cardinal successful yearly revenue.
