Oklo’s 42% Stock Crash vs. 64% Analyst Upside: The Tennessee Facility That Could Break the Deadlock

(SeaPRwire) –   By: Oliver Hawthorne

Oklo’s stock has dropped 42% in six months and 20% this year. Analysts say it could jump 64%—but investors are skeptical. The recent DOE plutonium program news gave a 9% boost, but gains vanished fast.

Here’s the hard data: Oklo’s Q1 2026 net loss hit $33 million, up from $9.8 million last year. It has no revenue yet. The company plans a $1.6 billion Tennessee recycling facility, starting construction in 2027. It also has partnerships with Meta (1.2GW power deal), Nvidia, and Los Alamos National Lab.

Wall Street’s Moderate Buy consensus (10 buys, seven holds) sets an average target of $92.69. Wedbush’s Daniel Ives likes Oklo’s build-own-operate model for recurring revenue. But the facility won’t start until 2027. Until Oklo turns partnerships into cash flow, its stock will stay volatile. Only investors willing to wait a decade should consider holding on.
