Oklo stock jumps as Meta backs 1.2-GW Ohio nuclear campus to power AI data centers

Oklo stock jumps as Meta backs 1.2-GW Ohio nuclear campus to power AI data centers

Oklo shares jumped nearly 20% in premarket trade on Friday after Meta Platforms said it would back the nuclear developer’s plan for up to 1.2 gigawatts of new capacity in Ohio, part of a broader push to lock down power for data centers. Meta also signed 20-year deals to buy electricity from three Vistra nuclear plants and will support small modular reactor projects with TerraPower. Meta executive Joel Kaplan said the plan would “make Meta one of the most significant corporate purchasers of nuclear energy in American history.” Oklo said Meta’s agreement sets out a mechanism for the tech firm to prepay for power and fund early procurement and development for Oklo’s Aurora “powerhouse” reactors in Pike County, Ohio. Meta’s Urvi Parekh said the deal “enables the development of 1.2 gigawatts of nuclear energy in Southern Ohio,” tied to the company’s operations in the region.

Utilities Stocks Outlook 2026: AI Data Centers, Fed Rate Cuts and Rising Power Bills Put the Sector Back in Focus

Utilities Stocks Outlook 2026: AI Data Centers, Fed Rate Cuts and Rising Power Bills Put the Sector Back in Focus

U.S. utilities stocks are ending 2025 with a split personality. On one hand, the group is still a classic “defensive” trade—regulated cash flows, dividend support, and historically lower volatility than the broader market. On the other, utilities have quietly become one of the most important “real economy” beneficiaries of the AI boom, because every new data center and electrified industrial process ultimately needs one thing: reliable megawatts. With U.S. markets closed for the Christmas holiday on December 25, 2025, the utilities sector enters 2026 under intense scrutiny from investors, regulators, and consumers. Electricity bills are rising, grid operators are sounding alarms about supply shortfalls, and analysts are debating which companies can grow their rate base without triggering political backlash. The result: utilities stocks are no longer just about yield—they’re increasingly about infrastructure, load growth, and execution risk.

Vistra (VST) Stock Slides After JPMorgan Target Cut as PJM Capacity Auction Looms — News, Forecasts, and Key Levels to Watch on Dec. 17, 2025

Vistra Corp. is back in the spotlight on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, after a sharp down move that highlights just how sensitive the stock has become to a mix of analyst positioning, insider-trading headlines, and the broader “AI power demand” narrative that has dominated U.S. power markets in 2024–2025.
