NuScale Power (SMR) Falls to $7.59, Down 85% From Its January Peak

NuScale Power touched a fresh 52-week low of $7.59 on July 29, 2026, extending a collapse that has erased roughly 85% of the stock's value since its January high. The slide has been relentless — the chart shows the stock peaking above $53 earlier in the year before a series of lower highs and lower lows carried it steadily toward single digits. The new low undercuts the prior 52-week floor set on July 16, 2026 by about 0.65%.

What makes the breakdown particularly striking is its timing. Nuclear power broadly has been riding a wave of optimism tied to surging electricity demand from data centers and artificial intelligence infrastructure, yet NuScale has failed to capture any of that tailwind. The company's small modular reactor technology was once treated as a flagship bet on next-generation nuclear, attracting significant investor enthusiasm, but that enthusiasm has given way to persistent selling pressure.

Investors will be watching whether the $7.59 print marks capitulation or simply the latest step down in an ongoing downtrend. With the stock now deep in single-digit territory after a historically large peak-to-trough decline, any recovery would need to explain what has changed in the fundamental or competitive picture that the market has been repricing so aggressively throughout the year.
