Oklo (OKLO) stock jumps again as U.S. rolls out $2.7B uranium push and nuclear hearing nears

New York, January 6, 2026, 10:26 EST Oklo Inc shares rose about 3% on Tuesday to around $92, extending a sharp rally a day earlier that lifted the nuclear developer’s stock nearly 15% to close at $89.34. The move comes as Washington steps up its focus on nuclear power and the fuel needed to run the next wave of reactors. The Energy Department on Monday announced billions of dollars in uranium-enrichment awards, and House lawmakers are set to hold a hearing this week on nuclear licensing and deployment. That matters for Oklo and other small modular reactor (SMR) developers because

Oklo stock jumps nearly 15% as DOE backs uranium enrichment — what’s next for OKLO

New York, January 5, 2026, 19:30 EST — After-hours Oklo Inc. shares rose 14.8% on Monday and were little changed in after-hours trading, as investors piled into advanced nuclear names after the U.S. Energy Department moved to expand domestic uranium enrichment. The stock closed at $89.34. The federal awards target high-assay low-enriched uranium, or HALEU — fuel enriched beyond the level used in most of today’s reactors — as well as standard low-enriched uranium, the department said. HALEU is uranium enriched between 5% and 20%, compared with about 5% for conventional reactor fuel. (Reuters) Why it matters now: fuel supply

UEC stock jumps nearly 5% as uranium price firms near $82 and miners rally

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 12:09 (EST) — Regular session Uranium Energy Corp shares rose nearly 5% on Monday, tracking a firmer uranium tape and renewed buying across U.S.-listed uranium miners. The stock was up 5% at $13.76 in midday trading on the NYSE American after ranging between $13.13 and $13.91. The move matters now because uranium equities tend to trade as a high-beta proxy for the underlying commodity, with investors quick to reprice producers and developers when the market tightens. It also comes at the start of the year, when fund flows and positioning can amplify sector moves. A

Energy Fuels stock jumps as uranium names heat up again — what’s driving UUUU today

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 10:38 EST — Regular session Energy Fuels Inc shares rose about 4% on Monday, lifting the uranium and critical-minerals producer after a volatile start to the year for the sector. The stock was up 4.0% at $17.35 in morning trade, after touching $17.45 at the session high. The move matters because investors are once again treating uranium-linked equities as a fast-moving proxy for shifting expectations on nuclear power demand, supply constraints and policy support for domestic production. Flows into the group can be abrupt, and early-year positioning tends to amplify price swings. Energy Fuels sits

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:00 ET — Market closed Energy Fuels Inc (UUUU) shares jumped 14.9% on Friday to close at $16.68, with about 14.9 million shares traded. U.S. markets were closed on Sunday. The move matters because Energy Fuels is a high-beta proxy for investor appetite toward nuclear-fuel supply chains and U.S.-based critical materials, a theme that has been prone to sharp reversals. It also shows how quickly positioning can shift at the start of a new year in thinly covered miners, where flows can amplify price swings. Energy Fuels, based near Denver, produces uranium and is developing
