Oklo Inc. (NYSE:OKLO) is one of 10 Stocks that Fell Off the Cliff.

Oklo Inc. fell by 7.59 percent on Tuesday to close at $51.74 apiece, tracking a sluggish wider market sentiment as investors were in a wait-and-see mode for further catalysts to boost investing appetite.

Additionally, investors unloaded positions following comments from Mad Money host and former hedge fund manager Jim Cramer to “wait for it to come in.”

“Maybe we give it a week and then take a look. But I am not against Oklo,” he said.

In recent news, Oklo Inc. (NYSE:OKLO) announced that its subsidiary, Atomic Alchemy Inc., kicked off the site characterization work at a potential location for a commercial radioisotope production facility at the Idaho National Laboratory.

The milestone builds on Atomic Alchemy’s progress with prior approvals and agreements, including a Memorandum of Understanding secured in 2020 with the US Department of Energy Idaho Operations Office (DOE-ID) to identify a suitable location to site the project at INL, as well as a license in late November that authorized initial site characterization activities.
