NuScale Power Shares Rise 7% on Narrower Q2 Loss, Revenue Up Y/Y

NuScale Power SMR shares have gained 7.2% since the company reported its second-quarter 2025 results on Aug. 7. The upward momentum can be attributed to NuScale Power’s strong year-over-year revenue growth and early NRC approval for its 77 MWe SMR design.

In the second quarter of 2025, NuScale Power reported loss per share of 13 cents, which was narrower than the loss of 31 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. The figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 8.33%.

The company reported revenues of $8.1 billion for the quarter, marking a significant increase of 733% from $967 million in the prior-year quarter. However, the figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 11.15%. The year-over-year increase was driven by the higher fees from engineering, licensing, and pre-commercial operational services for the RoPower project.

In the second quarter of 2025, SMR achieved approval for its 77-megawatt power uprate design, solidifying its position as the only SMR technology with two NRC approvals.
