SMR Loss to Improve 70.5%: Is This Sub-$10 Stock a Bargain?

NuScale Power Corporation SMR is expected to narrow its loss sharply in 2026, giving investors one reason to reconsider the beaten-down nuclear stock. The Zacks Consensus Estimate calls for a loss of 64 cents per share this year, implying a 70.5% year-over-year improvement.Zacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Yet, the market remains cautious. SMR shares have fallen 39.9% in 2026 and currently trade at $8.51, not far from their 52-week low of $7.21. Fellow advanced nuclear stocks OkloInc. OKLO and NANO Nuclear Energy NNE have also declined 49.5% and 33.8%, respectively, this year. The question is whether NuScale's fall below $10 has created an attractive entry point or simply reflects the risks still facing the business.
