Analysis · SMR · Manufacturing
Having fully drawn down its previous $1 billion at-the-market equity program, NuScale is back with a new $750 million ATM. The continuous dilution overhang arrives as the company burns cash with minimal revenue — its Q2 net loss widened to $47.5M. While smaller, the new program underscores an ongoing reliance on equity markets to fund operations, adding pressure to the stock.
