Oklo's stock has fallen 55% from its October peak of $175 to under $80, despite no significant changes to the company's business fundamentals. The nuclear startup remains highly speculative as it's pre-commercial with no revenue, building only a prototype reactor. While the company has a promising customer pipeline of 14 GW and could be undervalued if successful, significant execution risks exist around whether the small modular reactor design will work at scale and be economically viable.
