NuScale Power is drawing attention from analysts with its unique position in the nuclear energy sector. Analyst Vikram Bagri has initiated coverage with a Neutral/High Risk rating, citing the company’s first-mover advantage in modular reactor technology. Despite the promising outlook, significant execution risks exist, and the stock’s current pricing reflects ambitious installation goals. Meanwhile, Gregory Lewis has downgraded NuScale to Hold, noting the need for a firmer order book. While the long-term potential remains intact, the recent stock surge and pending order confirmations warrant a cautious stance.
Hims & Hers Health faces challenges as analyst Ryan Macdonald downgrades the stock to Hold following Novo Nordisk’s termination of their partnership.
