Factors to Note

NuScale Power is benefiting from strong demand for electricity and clean energy. Growing demand for AI-powered data centers is expected to have driven SMR’s top-line growth.

SMR’s second-quarter performance is likely to have been driven by a series of strategic initiatives that are aimed at aligning resources with its primary objective of moving toward commercialization and revenue-producing commercial contracts. 

These developments are expected to help the company generate $50-$60 million in annualized savings beginning the past quarter. This is likely to have boosted margins in the to-be-reported quarter.
