Each Clavix grade is a composite of five independent reads. Higher is safer. Here is how SMR scores on each, as of July 27, 2026.
What's moving SMR's risk right now
Company-specific signals Clavix flags behind SMR's current grade, drawn from recent news and filings as of July 27, 2026.
NuScale has been popping up on MarketBeat's stock screener lists for water and hydrogen themes this week. This reflects how the stock is being categorized by the tool rather than any company news, so it carries little signal on its own.
Analysts say NuScale's next move hinges on signing binding power-plant contracts and landing project financing, not on more regulatory approvals. The 38% year-to-date slide reflects investor doubts about turning its approved small reactor design into paying projects.
One rating argues NuScale could double if a major catalyst hits, pointing to its $3.2 billion valuation and BofA's $10 trillion nuclear demand projection tied to AI data centers. The same piece flags frustration with how slowly NuScale's project pipeline is converting into revenue.
