Over about 2 years to 2026-07-31. This is the share price only; any dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.

Roughly in step with the market

Based on beta - how much the price swings versus the whole market. Bumpier isn't bad; it just means a rougher ride, which matters more the sooner you might need the money.

Why has it been moving?▲ +1% past week · ▼ -33% past year

Prices move on results, news and the mood of the whole market - no single headline explains a day, and a quiet week is usually just noise, not a signal.

The bull case

Commercial viability proven with multiple signed contracts for energy delivery.

The bear case

Technology fails to gain commercial traction or faces insurmountable safety regulations.

What does Oklo Inc. do?

Oklo is essentially a start-up in the nuclear energy space, working to design and deploy compact reactors that can generate electricity on a smaller scale than traditional power stations. Because they are still in the research and development phase, they aren't yet selling power or making a profit, which is why their financial margins are currently zero. Their progress in securing regulatory approvals and building a first operational reactor is what to keep tracking.
