If You’d Invested $10,000 in Oklo Stock 1 Year Ago, Here’s How Much You’d Have Today

Nuclear energy play Oklo just delivered a performance that would make traditional utilities blush—if they weren't too busy counting their regulatory capture profits.

Massive Returns in Record Time

That hypothetical $10,000 stake transformed into serious gains, leaving conventional energy investments looking like relics from the fossil fuel era. While old-school energy stocks chug along with single-digit returns, Oklo's innovative approach to atomic energy generated returns that traditional power companies can only dream of.

Disrupting the Power Landscape

Oklo's micro-reactor technology bypasses legacy infrastructure constraints and cuts through bureaucratic red tape that typically strangles energy innovation. The company's compact nuclear solutions deliver clean, reliable power without the massive capital expenditures that plague traditional nuclear projects.

Early investors who recognized this disruptive potential now watch traditional energy funds scramble to catch up—proving once again that betting on innovation beats betting on status quo every time.

Oklo is developing fast fission nuclear power plants called Aurora. They are modular, scalable, and can run on fresh or recycled fuel. Oklo intends to generate and sell nuclear power under long-term contracts to customers in verticals like data centers, defense, industrial manufacturers, off-grid, and utilities.

Oklo already has a site permit from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to deploy a commercial plant. It also has fuel supply agreements with the DOE and was recently selected for its reactor pilot program.

Other notable recent announcements include:

• partnerships with two data center providers to deliver up to 750 megawatts of power
• an agreement with artificial intelligence (AI), cloud, and data center provider Switch to provide 12 gigawatts of power through 2044
• collaborations with Vertiv and Liberty Energy to power data centers
• the acquisition of radioisotope producer Atomic Alchemy
• an understanding with Lightbridge to colocate Lightbridge's fabrication facility and explore nuclear waste recycling
• plans to build a $1.68 billion fuel recycling plant at Tennessee

With AI data centers driving demand for nuclear power and President Donald TRUMP taking a pro-nuclear power stance, Oklo seems to be in the right place at the right time.

The only problem, though, is the stock's unreal 1,400% gain in one year. Being afraid of missing out is understandable, but avoiding it in investing is logical.
