Here's How NuScale (SMR) is Placed Just Ahead of Q1 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
NuScale Power Corporation (SMR - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2024 results on May 9.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at a loss of 21 cents per share. In the last reported quarter, it incurred a loss of 16 cents.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at 3.15 million, suggesting a decline of 42.8% from the prior-year quarter’s levels.
Based in Portland, OR, NuScale specializes in providing innovative advanced nuclear small modular reactor (“SMR”) technology.
In the past year, shares of the company have lost 23.1% compared with sub-industry’s decline of 30.7%.

Factors Driving Growth
Increasing demand for energy, especially safe and clean energy, owing to higher power usage by data centers and AI, major industrial projects, transportation and utility clients, is likely to have cushioned the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
NuScale has the first mover advantage in commercial SMR development space as it is the first and only company to have received U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission design approval and certification and to have “Long Lead Materials” in production. The efforts to commercialize its SMR technology bode well.
Moreover, collaboration with ENTRA1 Energy is likely to have acted as a tailwind. The collaboration with ENTRA1 encompasses building up of a diverse pipeline worldwide and deploy NuScale SMR-enabled plants globally.
Further, management expects the availability of tax credits for advanced nuclear technology in the Inflation Reduction Act or IRA to boost the adoption of its SMR technology. The company is also focusing on cost discipline. In January 2024, it announced a cost reduction plan which is likely to generate $50-$60 million in annualized savings.
The company generates revenues from sale and delivery of NuScale Power Modules and other equipment along with licensing of the technologies as well as services. Its revenues are derived mostly from services to customers and the licensing of proprietary technology.
Geopolitical instability and global macroeconomic weakness remain headwinds.
