Action:Reiterated
Date:07/14/26
The score is held down primarily by very weak financial performance (shrinking revenue, large losses, and heavy cash burn) and a bearish technical setup (below key moving averages with negative MACD). Earnings-call positives—strong liquidity and regulatory/supply-chain milestones—provide support, but are outweighed by low near-term revenue visibility and financing/timeline uncertainty. Valuation remains only moderately supportive given negative earnings and no stated dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Regulatory Leadership
Securing NRC Standard Design Approval for both 50 MW and 77 MW designs materially reduces licensing uncertainty and creates a standard reference design customers can cite in combined-license filings. This durable regulatory edge shortens approval paths, improves project bankability, and remains relevant across multi-year deployments.
Negative Factors
Severe Cash Burn
TTM operating cash flow near -$752M and free cash flow about -$753M reflect persistent, large cash burn. Even with current liquidity, continued negative cash flow necessitates further financing or rapid revenue scaling; absent that, the company faces dilution risk, program delays, or forced cost reductions that could slow commercialization.

NuScale Power Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:May 07, 2026
(Q1-2026)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 05, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
The call highlighted significant strategic and technical achievements (unique NRC Part 52 approvals for two designs, LEU fuel availability, dry‑cooling water savings, strong supplier relationships, and a robust liquidity position increasing from ~$1.0B to >$1.2B), and identified promising commercial opportunities (ENTRA1–TVA pipeline and RoPower in Romania). At the same time, near‑term financials are weak (Q1 revenue fell ~95.5% year‑over‑year to $0.6M), commercialization remains dependent on third‑party financing and PPA/OEM finalizations, operating expenses are substantial (~$55M this quarter) and timelines for FIDs remain uncertain. Overall, the call conveys strategic strength and clear commercialization potential but balanced by near‑term revenue and execution risks.
Positive Updates
Unique Regulatory Leadership
Only SMR company to earn U.S. NRC Standard Design Approval under 10 CFR Part 52 for both 50 MW and 77 MW module designs, enabling a streamlined single combined license pathway and making future projects able to reference an approved design.
Negative Updates
Sharp Year‑Over‑Year Revenue Decline
Revenue for the quarter was $0.6 million (3 months ended March 31, 2026) versus $13.4 million in the prior-year period, a decrease of approximately 95.5%, primarily due to absence of RoPower-related license/engineering recognition that occurred in early 2025.

Company Guidance
NuScale said its near-term financial guidance centers on a strong liquidity position and project-driven revenue pickup: cash and capital resources were about $1.0 billion at March 31, 2026 and rose to over $1.2 billion by early May; Q1 revenue was $0.6 million (vs. $13.4 million a year earlier), and the company generated $37.9 million gross from selling 3.2 million Class A shares in Q1; historical RoPower pre‑EPC work produced roughly $8 million of revenue in 2024–2025 and NuScale expects similar site‑specific licensing / pre‑FEED work once ENTRA1/TVA PPAs are finalized, with the RoPower pre‑EPC phase (if financed) expected to last ~15 months; management said signing an equipment OEM (and associated staged payments under the PMA/milestone framework) should be cash‑positive at that milestone and the CFO expressed hope to be operationally cash‑flow positive by year‑end, while reiterating no guidance on CapEx per module or $/kWh and emphasizing supply‑chain derisking (37 key suppliers engaged, 120–130 attendees at the supplier summit) and regulatory advantages (NRC SDA for 50 MW and 77 MW designs, Part 52 pathway).

NuScale Power Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Overall fundamentals are weak: TTM revenue declined sharply (-42.5%) with large, persistent losses (deeply negative EBIT/EBITDA margins) and severe ongoing cash burn (TTM operating cash flow and free cash flow around -$752M/-$753M). The main offset is a low-leverage balance sheet (debt-to-equity at 0.0) and sizeable equity, but negative ROE (~-40%) indicates value erosion while losses persist.
