Why Nano Nuclear Energy Stock Zoomed Almost 6% Higher Today
Key Points The company has been formally admitted to a key industry grouping in Canada. This positions the American company for future expansion in the neighboring country. 10 stocks we like better than Nano Nuclear Energy › Hardly for the first time in recent weeks and months, shares of next-generation power company Nano Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) jumped skyward on Thursday. Investors pushed the shares almost 6% higher in value, on news that it is now part of an important industry association north of our border. That nearly 6% leap crushed the S&P 500 index, which was basically flat that trading session. Energized by Canadian news Before market open, Nano announced that it has become a member of the Canadian Nuclear Association (CNA). That makes the U.S.-based company part of an influential industry grouping in the country, one that has been advocating for the use of nuclear power since 1960. In the press release trumpeting the news, Nano wrote that according to CNA data, nuclear energy effectively avoids 80 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions, serving as a clean alternative to traditional fossil fuel generation methods. Although Canadian citizens have been as critical and wary of nuclear energy as their American counterparts, Nano clearly sees a solid chance for winning business in our neighboring nation, and advancing the technology as it does so. It wrote, "With the introduction of next-generation technologies in the form of small or micro nuclear reactors, like those being developed by NANO Nuclear, there is a significant opportunity for Canada to solidify a leading position in the global nuclear industry." Walking the walk Nano did not provide any estimates for how an increased Canadian presence might affect its fundamentals. However, this feels like a low-impact way to strengthen its presence on the market. The proof will be in the doing, however, so investors should watch how -- and if -- the company's Canadian business develops following its CNA ascension.
