Oklo currently has three sites where it is developing nuclear reactors: Oklo Aurora at the Idaho National Laboratory and two sites in southern Ohio. However, the company has only recently broken ground on the Aurora site, where it is building a 75-megawatt electrical (MWe), liquid metal-cooled fast reactor. Image source: Getty Images. The company initially expected to have this site operational in late 2027 or early 2028. However, the project has been fast-tracked by the U.S. Department of Energy, which may accelerate this timeline. Still, Oklo has no revenue, while trading at a roughly $13 billion market cap. The company also recently announced a $1.5 billion capital raise that will dilute shareholders, and many questions remain about the ultimate energy needs of AI. If you'd invested $10,000 in Oklo's IPO Oklo went public through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), but began trading publicly on May 10. Since then, the stock has skyrocketed higher and is now up over 730%. At one point, just a few months ago, the stock traded at nearly double its current price, making it a volatile investment.Advertisement OKLO data by YCharts As you can see above, $10,000 invested in Oklo's IPO is now worth close to $99,000. Meanwhile, the same $10,000 invested in the broader benchmark S&P 500 index would only be worth slightly over $13,000, which is by no means a bad return over roughly a year and a half.Read NextDec 18, 2025 •By Rick OrfordIs It Too Late to Buy Oklo After Its 417% Rise?Dec 17, 2025 •By Brett SchaferShould You Buy Nuclear Energy Stocks in 2026?Dec 17, 2025 •By Neha ChamariaWhy Oklo Stock Plunged on WednesdayDec 10, 2025 •By David Jagielski, CPAUp Nearly 400% This Year, Can Oklo Stock Still Rise Higher?Dec 10, 2025 •By Neha ChamariaWhy Oklo Stock Traded Lower on WednesdayDec 9, 2025 •By Johnny RiceOklo Stock Sank 31.2% In November.
