Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO) closed on May 23 at $48.87, soaring 23.04% after news of President Trump’s executive orders to accelerate nuclear energy development.

The company’s earnings are expected between August 11–15, 2025. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives also boosted the company’s price target from $45 to $55

President Trump's executive orders to accelerate nuclear energy development, recently highlighted by Semafor, are having a positive impact on the industry. One stock that soared in response to the news is Oklo Inc. (NYSE:OKLO), an advanced nuclear fission technology company.

Oklo's stock price surged by 23.04% on Tuesday, closing at $48.87. The company's earnings are expected between August 11–15, according to Benzinga Pro.

One analyst at Wedbush, Dan Ives, remains bullish on Oklo, adjusting the company's price target from $45 to $55 while maintaining an Outperform rating.

"We are boosting our price target on OkLO to $55 from $45 and keeping an Outperform rating on the stock as the company's stock soars on President Trump's executive orders to streamline the permitting process for new nuclear reactors in the U.S.," began the analyst.

"We continue to see strong positioning for Oklo in the evolving energy sector, positioning them for sustained growth in the small modular reactor (SMR) space.

"With the administration aiming to remove red tape and speed up the approval process for new nuclear reactors, as reported by Semafor, Oklo and its peers could see significant tailwinds in the coming year."

Ives highlighted Oklo's unique model of selling power directly to customers through long-term agreements, providing consistent revenue streams and buffering the company against sector volatility.

"As demand for reliable energy increases, especially for data centers and AI infrastructure, Oklo's advanced nuclear solutions are expected to capture expanding market share."

Energy leaders like Constellation Energy's Joseph Dominguez recently emphasized the need for always-on, 24/7 power to meet the demands of massive, energy-hungry data centers, something nuclear power is uniquely equipped to provide.

Over the trailing twelve months, Oklo reported a net loss of $59.4 million, with a diluted EPS of -$0.47. Its return on assets stands at -22.83%, while return on equity is sharply negative at -56.03%.

Oklo holds $201.02 million in cash and has very low debt (0.67% debt-to-equity), but levered free cash flow remains negative at -$24.09 million. Valuation ratios like price-to-earnings and price-to-sales are currently unavailable, though its price-to-book ratio is 25.26.

In terms of performance versus benchmarks, Oklo's stock has outperformed the broader market across multiple time frames. The company boasts a year-to-date return of 130.19% and a staggering one-year return of 543.87%.

In comparison, the S&P 500 has seen YTD losses of -1.34% and one-year gains of 10.16%. Over three and five years, Oklo has delivered 404.86% and 388.70% returns, easily beating the S&P 500's 46.03% and 96.34% returns over the same periods.

With regulatory tailwinds, analyst support, and rising demand for nuclear energy, Oklo Inc. appears well-positioned for future growth. Investors will be watching closely as the company approaches its August earnings window to see if it can maintain its momentum and translate potential into sustained profitability.
