Over about 2 years to 2026-07-31. This is the share price only; any dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.

Bumpier than the market

Based on beta - how much the price swings versus the whole market. Bumpier isn't bad; it just means a rougher ride, which matters more the sooner you might need the money.

Why has it been moving?▲ +7% past week · ▼ -81% past year

Prices move on results, news and the mood of the whole market - no single headline explains a day, and a quiet week is usually just noise, not a signal.

The bull case

Widespread adoption of small modular reactors as a global energy standard.

The bear case

Failure to achieve commercial viability or significant funding shortfalls.

What does NuScale Power Corporation do?

NuScale is essentially a research and development firm working to bring a new type of compact nuclear reactor to market. The company aims to earn through contracts to design and eventually license the technology, though it sits in the early stages of commercialisation for now. Their success rests on the ability to move from the drawing board to actually building and operating these power plants.
