The stock initially rode a wave of enthusiasm this summer, and then again this fall, reaching a 52-week high of $57 in October. Yet factors such as investors trimming stakes, analyst skepticism, and the fact that NuScale is still trying to lock down its initial customers are weighing the stock down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">NuScale is still a start-up in the sense that it has much to prove as far as commercial viability is concerned. The uncertainty and potential lack of real demand are part of why the stock has slid more than 20% in the last month alone.<\/p>\n<p>    <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" alt=\"A nuclear power plant employee stands with a laptop.\" loading=\"eager\" height=\"640\" width=\"960\" class=\"yf-lglytj loader\"\/> Image source: Getty Images.         <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">NuScale has a couple of irons in the fire that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/r\/revenue\/?utm_source=yahoo-host-full&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=article&amp;referring_guid=31c8b86d-cffe-48da-afd8-804adde4d11a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:could lead to significant revenue;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">could lead to significant revenue<\/a>, including its first real customer and a partnership with ENTRA1. Still, the customer deal isn&#8217;t finalized, and how these relationships fully materialize likely won&#8217;t be known until 2027 or beyond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">NuScale does have the power of the nuclear resurgence behind it. Artificial intelligence (AI) data centers will need nuclear to satisfy their ever-expanding energy needs. This is a great opportunity for NuScale to grow alongside it. If the company can secure a few customers in the short term, buying the stock while it&#8217;s still below $20 may be the smart move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">Before you buy stock in NuScale Power, consider this:<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/api.fool.com\/infotron\/infotrack\/click?apikey=35527423-a535-4519-a07f-20014582e03e&amp;impression=824bb262-de3b-49e0-a372-767d63ed5dc0&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fool.com%2Fmms%2Fmark%2Fe-sa-bbn-bn%3Faid%3D8867%26source%3Disaeditxt0001162%26ftm_cam%3Dsa-bbn-evergreen%26ftm_veh%3Darticle_pitch_feed_yahoo%26ftm_pit%3D18417&amp;utm_source=yahoo-host-full&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=article&amp;referring_guid=31c8b86d-cffe-48da-afd8-804adde4d11a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:10 best stocks;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">10 best stocks<\/a> for investors to buy now\u2026 and NuScale Power wasn\u2019t one of them.
