Bank of America Securities initiated research coverage on Oklo Inc. with a Buy rating and a $92 price target, implying roughly 30 % upside from the nuclear-technology company’s latest trade near $71.19 on 26 Aug. Sharply higher demand for carbon-free power from artificial-intelligence data centers, together with federal and industry backing, underpins the brokerage’s outlook, analyst Dimple Gosai wrote. Gosai highlighted Oklo’s build-own-operate strategy for its advanced micro-reactors. While the model is more capital-intensive than peers, assuming balance-sheet risk allows the company to offer fully wrapped, bankable power-purchase agreements and capture the full independent-power-producer economics, the note said. Oklo, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy and several data-center operators, is among a cluster of nuclear developers aiming to revive interest in the technology as a reliable low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels. Shares rose about 5 % following the call, extending gains across the broader nuclear and uranium segment.
