Why Nano Nuclear Energy Powered 14.5% Higher in June
Nano Nuclear is developing advanced micro-small modular reactors. President Trump's executive orders in May was one factor motivating investors to buy Nano Nuclear stock in June. The company isn't likely to generate revenue anytime soon, so conservative investors may be more comfortable with a nuclear energy ETF. 10 stocks we like better than Nano Nuclear Energy › While not the same as the 32.4% gain it logged in May, the rise in Nano Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) stock last month was undoubtedly well received among investors. According to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, Nano Nuclear Energy stock shot 14.5% higher in June. President Trump's clear support for the nuclear energy industry helped earlier in the month to buoy the company that's developing micro-small modular reactors (SMRs), while momentum toward the passage of the One, Big, Beautiful Bill provided incentive for investors to click the buy button at the end of June. Nano Nuclear began June with the wind at its back, thanks to the executive order that Trump signed in late May meant to spur development of the domestic nuclear energy industry. In addition to advancing the development of next-generation nuclear energy assets that can shore up infrastructure that supports artificial intelligence (AI) -- such as data centers -- the executive order seeks to remove a lot of the regulatory hurdles that are challenging SMR companies such as Nano Nuclear. As June rolled along, it became increasingly clearer that the Democrats would be unable to thwart the passage of the One, Big, Beautiful Bill -- legislation that was well received by the nuclear energy industry. Upon the Senate's approval of the legislation, in fact, Maria Korsnick, president and CEO of the Nuclear Energy Institute, applauded the bill that "allows us to continue down the path to achieve the administration's ambitious goals for deploying new, cutting-edge nuclear technologies that will meet the growing demand for more reliable energy." Whereas the nuclear power production tax credit was set to expire at the end of 2031, the Senate version of the budget reconciliation bill extends the nuclear power production tax credit through 2032. Plus, the bill extends the tax credits for new nuclear generation through 2033. Although it seems as if the U.S. is one the verge of entering a nuclear energy renaissance, it's important to acknowledge that Nano Nuclear is still far away from bring one of its SMRs to market. Moreover, it's unlikely that the company will start generating revenue anytime in the foreseeable future. For the time being, nuclear energy-focused investors would be better advised to consider one of the other leading SMR companies. On the other hand, those who are looking to reduce their exposure to risk would likely be more comfortable with a nuclear energy ETF.

The Smartest Nuclear Stock to Buy With $1,000 Right Now
Fluor builds nuclear power plants and owns a majority stake in modular reactor builder NuScale. Most of Fluor's market capitalization, in fact, is backed by its ownership stake in NuScale. Much of the rest of Fluor's current market capitalization is backed by cold, hard cash. 10 stocks we like better than Fluor › Powered up by a series of four executive orders signed by President Donald Trump in May, nuclear power stocks are red hot right now (in a good way) -- but not all nuclear stocks are created equal. Take Nano Nuclear Energy, NuScale Power, and Oklo, for example -- three start-up companies looking to develop a new generation of smaller-than-ordinary nuclear power plants. All three have outperformed the broader S&P 500 over the past year, from Nano with its 23% gain to NuScale, up 250%, and Oklo up 590%. Investors clearly like the idea of the smaller, cheaper, safer nuclear reactors these companies all promise to produce. Yet none of the three is anywhere near profitability, and according to analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence, none of them is expected to even begin earning profits before 2030 at the earliest. But there is one nuclear stock that's already earning profits: Fluor (NYSE: FLR). What's more, it also happens to be the majority owner of one of these very high-profile small modular reactor companies. According to S&P Global data, Fluor owns nearly 57% of NuScale. What's more, with NuScale currently valued at $5.1 billion -- and with an implied market capitalization of $10.8 billion -- Fluor's 57% interest in the company accounts for $6.1 billion of Fluor's own market capitalization. Put another way, if you subtract out the value of Fluor's interest in NuScale from Fluor's own $8.5 billion market capitalization, investors are valuing Fluor-ex-NuScale at only $2.4 billion. This fact alone suggests that buying shares of Fluor could be a smart way to invest in NuScale -- but that's not all. Fluor, it turns out, is that rare heavy industry company with more cash than debt on its balance sheet -- $1.4 billion worth of cash, in fact. Subtract that cash from the $2.4 billion, and Fluor-ex-NuScale, ex-net cash, ends up being valued by investors at just $1 billion. That's less than the net profit Fluor earned over the last 12 months: $1.8 billion. And buying a non-NuScale business at effectively just half its annual profit sounds like a very smart way to invest $1,000 or so. I know, I know. That sounds too good to be true, and when something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Deep values like this just shouldn't be the kind of thing that Wall Street analysts fail to notice, so there's probably a catch. And what might the catch be? Well, first and most obviously, NuScale might be really, really overvalued, such that Fluor's ownership stake in NuScale isn't worth as much as it appears to be. In fact, the $6.1 billion that it makes up of Fluor's market cap today could evaporate overnight if investors lose faith in NuScale. I personally consider this a very real risk, because -- as I pointed out up above -- NuScale isn't a profitable company, and much of its high valuation can be attributed to momentum investors driving the stock higher on irrational exuberance. A second risk investors should bear in mind is that Fluor's $1.8 billion in trailing-12-month profits is unusual for the company, and largely a result of the company's ownership stake in NuScale, the dramatic increase in NuScale's market cap, and of Fluor's "deconsolidation and subsequent remeasurement of Fluor's investment in NuScale" late last year. It's not a sustainable increase in annual earnings, and not something you should expect to repeat. Indeed, this year analysts polled by S&P Global forecast Fluor's net income will be only $60 million. That being said, most analysts who follow Fluor stock do expect the company to be solidly profitable over the next few years. Maybe not $1.8 billion-a-year profitable, but consensus forecasts assembled by S&P Global Market Intelligence, for example, have Fluor earning $470 million in 2026, nearly $530 million in 2027, and $638 million in 2028. That's about a 17% annualized earnings growth rate for a stock that costs only 17 or 18 times 2026 earnings -- or only about 2 times earnings ex-NuScale, and ex-net cash. Fluor stock looks to me like a bargain hiding in plain sight.

Why Nano Nuclear Energy Stock Was Red-Hot This Week
The nuclear energy sector got a boost from proposed modifications to President Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill." The segment would receive an extension to the expiration date of key tax credits. 10 stocks we like better than Nano Nuclear Energy › Not for the first time this year, Nano Nuclear Energy (NASDAQ: NNE) stock was going somewhat nuclear over the past few trading sessions. On news that a Senate committee desires changes in President Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" that favor the once-struggling industry, interest rose sharply in nuclear stocks. Nano was a direct beneficiary of this; according to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence, its share price had ballooned by nearly 25% week to date as of Friday before market open. The bill is an ambitious budget reconciliation proposal that would reshape the federal budget. Early in the week, one new change floated by the Senate Finance Committee was an adjustment of the tax credits the feds provide to energy producers. Some power-generation technologies currently out of favor with the present administration would have their tax credit expiration dates brought forward, while others would be granted extensions. Happily for Nano investors, nuclear energy is in the latter category. The committee is proposing that nuclear's energy production tax credit, currently set to be phased out on Dec. 31, 2032, have a new expiration date of Dec. 31, 2036. The president has been active in his support for nuclear power, which in the recent past was largely shunned. Its reputational decline was due mostly to high-profile accidents such as the Three Mile Island incident in 1979, and the catastrophic 1986 meltdown of the Chernobyl plant located in Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union). Despite its very positive-sounding name, the "Big, Beautiful Bill" is controversial and contentious among both legislators and the U.S. public. Given that, it's very possible that it will be hammered out through more compromises -- and these might lead lawmakers to rescind the nuclear tax credit extension idea. Still, the proposal currently on the table at least indicates continued strong, top-level support for nuclear power, and that can only help companies like Nano.
