Oklo Inc. shares surged 14.37% to close at $71.07 on February 6, driven by intense market speculation surrounding a critical regulatory catalyst involving the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

  • The core catalyst is the company's anticipation of the NRC's preliminary design certification draft evaluation.
  • Analysts note that positive movement on this regulatory hurdle, expected in 'early 2026', is critical for securing Oklo's long-term deals, including the Meta project.
