NuScale Power stock jumps 15% to start 2026 as nuclear names rally — what to watch Monday
NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 18:56 ET — Market closed NuScale Power Corp (SMR) shares climbed 15.1% on Friday to $16.31, after trading between $14.33 and $16.73. Volume was about 31.1 million shares. The move put the spotlight back on small modular reactor developers, a corner of the market that has been driven as much by shifting risk appetite as by company-specific milestones. “Value is outperforming growth and AI infrastructure is up, and … energy probably too,” said Jed Ellerbroek, a portfolio manager at Argent Capital in St. Louis, describing the market tone on the first trading day of 2026.
