AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

UBS downgraded NuScale Power (SMR) to Sell and cut the price target to $6, highlighting a multi-year build timeline and weak customer commitments. The firm assumes only one project starts construction in 2028, with about $700 million in cash burn through 2028 and a revenue ramp to $924 million by 2030, leaving earnings negative and a notable valuation gap versus market expectations.

  • $700 million cumulative cash burn (2026-2028); 2028 revenue $185m, 2030 $924m.
  • Market implies 2028 EBITDA of $124m vs UBS forecast of $29m; valuation gap.
  • Delays at RoPower Romania and limited TVA progress weigh on economics.
