Shares of Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO), a nuclear energy technology company, plummeted by a staggering 14.31% on November 4, 2024, caught in a broader sell-off that hammered the entire nuclear energy sector.

The steep decline in Oklo's stock price was accompanied by significant losses across other major players in the industry. Centrus Energy Corp. saw its shares plunge over 21%, while Constellation Energy Group, a leading nuclear operator, slumped over 11% on the same day.

While the specific catalyst for the widespread sell-off remains unclear, analysts speculate that investors may have been spooked by concerns over the industry's prospects or broader market conditions. The nuclear energy sector has faced various challenges, including public perception issues, regulatory hurdles, and the ongoing transition towards renewable energy sources.
