NuScale Power is expanding its educational initiatives with the recent opening of Energy Exploration (E2) Centers, which aim to develop a nuclear-ready workforce and engage communities through hands-on learning and outreach. Despite these positive developments, the company experienced a 12% decline in share price over the past week. This drop aligns with broader market struggles, as major indices like the Dow Jones and Nasdaq Composite have also faced significant declines due to fears of an escalating global trade war affecting corporate profits and economic growth, contributing to bearish market sentiment impacting NuScale's stock performance.

Over the last year, NuScale Power achieved a total return of 129.55%, significantly outperforming the US Market's 3.3% return and the US Electrical industry’s decline of 6.2%. This impressive performance came despite challenges, including substantial insider selling over the past three months and high share price volatility recently.

Key events like the opening of multiple Energy Exploration Centers in early 2025 and an upcoming $200 million follow-on equity offering in November 2024 may have bolstered investor confidence, contributing to the company's strong performance. On the financial side, despite increased net losses over the year, the company saw sales growth from US$22.81 million to US$37.05 million by December 2024's end. However, a removal from the Russell 2000 indices in July 2024 and a continued status as unprofitable underscore some ongoing challenges for the company.
