NuScale Power SMR
NuScale Power develops small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) for clean and scalable energy generation. NuScale Power is a pre-commercial company with revenues falling 99.1% and operating margins of -85,337%, making it a speculative bet on the future of SMRs rather than an investment with solid fundamentals. Its valuation (P/Sales of 323.24) is unsustainable without successful commercial deployment, and its financial health (ND/EBITDA 4.75) depends on current liquidity (37.88x) to survive until revenues arrive.

Context and risks
Extreme regulatory and business model risk: NuScale depends on the approval and commercial deployment of its SMR technology, a long, uncertain process subject to the NRC. With revenues falling 99% and an operating margin of -85,337%, the company is burning cash without recurring revenue; its viability depends on future financing and on its design receiving licenses, a risk that no financial metric captures.

Verdict: Avoid: the stock is an option on the regulatory and commercial success of SMRs, with current fundamentals that do not justify the price; only suitable for investors with high risk tolerance and a very long horizon.
Main risk: The main risk is regulatory and execution: NuScale depends on NRC approval and the commercial deployment of its reactors, a process that is uncertain and could be delayed or fail, leaving the company without revenue and with continuous cash burn.
