The investment firm initiated research coverage of NANO Nuclear with a buy rating on Wednesday, giving the stock a $45 price target, implying 60% upside from Thursday&#8217;s close. &#8220;Management is making rapid progress toward commercializing its 15 MWe KRONOS micro-modular-reactor (MMR), while diversifying operations across the uranium lifecycle,&#8221; analyst Craig Irwin wrote Wednesday in a 25-page report to clients. &#8220;The opportunity for SMR reactors will likely be very large \u2026 and demand is accelerating. Potential advance orders from hyperscalers are an obvious catalyst.&#8221; Nano Nuclear has jumped 17% in the past month on expectations of growing global power demand to run AI applications. In 2025, global electricity demand grew by 849 Terawatt-hours, according to a recent report from the International Energy Agency. The stock&#8217;s recent growth \u2014 Nano Nuclear is ahead 33% over the past three months \u2014 comes in the wake of hyperscalers such as Amazon and Nvidia pledging at least a combined $700 billion to construct AI data centers. Those facilities require massive amounts of energy, giving nuclear providers the ability to capitalize on calls for power. Nano&#8217;s KRONOS MMR is intended to generate 15 megawatts of electric power using a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor design and meltdown-resistant enriched uranium fuel. The design offers a &#8220;differentiated&#8221; power solution that gives Nano an edge over competitors, which could lift the stock over the long run, according to Roth Capital. Roth Capital&#8217;s call matches the consensus on Wall Street, where five of six analysts covering Nano rate it a buy or strong buy, LSEG data shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nano Nuclear Energy stock is poised to benefit as the nuclear power provider takes steps to commercialize its&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":603707,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[182,1540,181,507,122,192,113,307942,3487,114,74],"class_list":["post-714348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-amazon-com-inc","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-business-news","tag-environment","tag-investment-strategy","tag-nano-nuclear-energy-inc","tag-nvidia-corp","tag-stock-markets","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=714348"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714348\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=714348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=714348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=714348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
