Stock of Nano Nuclear Energy significantly increased by around 40% over the past week.
Nano Nuclear Energy (NNE) has seen a significant boost in its share price this week, with a 40% increase as of 2 p.m. ET on Friday, Sept. 19. This surge can be attributed to a combination of factors, including the company's agreement to sell its ODIN reactor design to the Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation in the UK for $6.2 million, and a recent partnership between the U.S. and U.K. governments to invest in new nuclear energy technologies.
The sale of the ODIN reactor design marks the second significant announcement driving NNE's share price higher this week. The agreement includes a low-single-digit royalty payment structure, where Nano Nuclear will receive payments from the UK company should the technology ever be used. However, it is important to note that the ODIN reactor design is not yet approved by regulators.
Despite the recent surge, Nano Nuclear remains unprofitable and has no timeline for generating any operating revenue or positive cash flow. The company has burned $32 million in free cash flow over the last 12 months.
The current price of NNE stock stands at $46.31, with a 52-week range of $12.05 - $48.05. NNE has a market capitalization of $2 billion, making it a high-risk investment for potential investors.
It's worth mentioning that while Nano Nuclear has seen a significant increase, up close to 100% year to date, other nuclear energy stocks, such as Oklo, have performed better, with a 500% increase year to date.
Given its prerevenue status and high market capitalization, investors are advised to exercise caution when considering adding Nano Nuclear to their portfolios. The company's uncertain prospects make it a risky investment, despite the recent surge in its share price.
The average volume of NNE stock is 3,428,163, but on this particular day, the volume reached 13,423,846, indicating a high level of trading activity.
As the nuclear energy sector continues to grow, it will be interesting to see how Nano Nuclear's fortunes evolve. The company's potential to generate revenue through licensing agreements, coupled with the government's increased investment in nuclear energy, could make it a promising player in the industry. However, investors should approach this opportunity with caution, given the company's current financial status and uncertain prospects.
