Oklo Shares Rally 46% on Meta 1.2 GW Nuclear Deal and DOE Radioisotope Contract

OKLOOKLO

Oklo shares plunged 46% over Nov-Dec 2025 (including a 21.5% December drop) after announcing a $1.5 billion at-the-market equity offering and profit-taking post-700% YTD rally. Shares surged 46% in January on a multi-billion-dollar 1.2 GW nuclear campus agreement with Meta and a DOE radioisotope pilot plant contract, with power by 2030.

1. Stock Volatility and Rapid Rebound

Oklo experienced a dramatic share movement at the end of 2025, falling 21.5% in December after a 46% decline between November and December as investors digested profit-taking following a 700% run-up earlier in the year. Concerns over a $1.5 billion at-the-market equity offering and potential dilution weighed on sentiment, but the company’s stock has already recouped those losses in early 2026, rallying nearly 46% in just two weeks on the back of major strategic announcements.

2. Meta Partnership Fuels 1.2 GW Ohio Nuclear Campus

In January 2026, Oklo signed a multi-billion-dollar agreement with Meta to develop a 1.2 gigawatt fast-fission nuclear power campus in Ohio. Meta will provide funding to cover pre-construction work beginning this year, with the first Aurora reactor scheduled to come online as early as 2030. The deal ties long-term data-center power demand to contracted revenue streams for Oklo, significantly de-risking its first large-scale commercial deployment.

3. DOE Radioisotope Pilot Plant Collaboration

Oklo secured a Department of Energy agreement to design, construct and operate a radioisotope pilot plant under the DOE’s reactor pilot program. This marks a critical step toward domestic production of medical radioisotopes—currently almost entirely imported—and validates Oklo’s fast-fission technology beyond electricity generation. The pilot plant will leverage Oklo’s reactor design to produce isotopes for cancer therapy and diagnostic imaging, with construction slated to begin later this year.

4. Fuel Production Capabilities and Long-Term Outlook

In December, Oklo won safety approval from the DOE to assemble its first fuel fabrication facility, positioning it as one of the first U.S. companies to produce fuel for next-generation microreactors. Combined with its partnerships and pilot programs, this vertical integration—from fuel production to power generation—underscores Oklo’s potential to capture both energy and specialty isotope markets. While investors must navigate volatility, the company’s secured funding and governmental backing lay a foundation for accelerating revenue growth into the next decade.
