NuScale Power Shares Plunge 14% on Q3 Loss, Revenues Rise Y/Y

NuScale Power (SMR) shares plunged 14% on Thursday after the company reported weaker-than-expected third-quarter 2025 results.

NuScale Power reported third-quarter 2025 loss per share of $1.85 per share, wider than the loss of 18 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. The figure was also wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 11 cents.

The company reported revenues of $8.24 million for the quarter, marking a significant increase of 1,635% from $0.48 million in the prior-year quarter. However, the figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 25.7%. The year-over-year increase was driven by the higher fees from engineering, licensing, and pre-commercial operational services for the RoPower project.
