Wedbush boosts price target on Oklo — a pre-revenues nuclear power AI play — to $150

Oklo is the 449th-largest stock in the US coming into this week, boasting a market cap above that of Dick’s Sporting Goods, Dollar Tree, or Halliburton.

It also happens to have generated zero sales, making it the largest pre-revenue stock listed on US exchanges, per an equity screen run on Bloomberg.

(Hat tip to @SilbergleitJr on X, who drew this to our attention.)

Oklo is in the nuclear power business, and has positioned itself as a potential power provider to help facilitate the AI boom.

Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives boosted his price target on the stock to a whopping $150 from $80 on Sunday, citing “incremental confidence in the company’s nuclear growth strategy as the AI Revolution hits its next stride of growth.” It’s also on his Ives AI 30 list of stocks that, in his view, offer the most exposure to the AI boom.

“Given the recent focus on nuclear energy following the Trump Administration Executive Order we view this as ‘just the start’ of the nuclear focus for energy in the US over the coming year with OKLO leading the sector,” he added. “Our time spent in the Beltway last week with meetings on the Hill gave us incremental confidence that the push for nuclear energy in the US is now underway and positions OKLO very well for this wave of spending/growth/regulatory approval.”

The company announced that it’s holding a groundbreaking ceremony for its Idaho-based “first Aurora powerhouse” today, which will be attended by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, Governors Bradley Little (Idaho) and Spencer Cox (Utah), US Senators Mike Crapo and James Risch, Congressman Mike Simpson, Nuclear Regulatory Commission chief Bradley Crowell, and the Department of Energy’s Michael Goff and Robert Boston, to name a few.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.

US job growth falls far short of estimates in June; unemployment rate unexpectedly dips to 4.2%

Job growth was 57,000. Analysts foresaw job growth of 113,000; prediction markets were more optimistic, looking for job growth above 125,000 but below 150,000.

Nike sinks to lowest level since 2014 after warning of “challenged” sales environment in Q4 report

Did Nike do it?

Investors had a mixed reaction after the global sports apparel company reported its fourth quarter earnings on Tuesday after the bell. Shares initially rose 5% as Nike beat out Wall Street expectations amid a hefty tariff refund bonus. However, the stock then sank to its lowest level since August 2014 in postmarket trading.

Here are the Q4 numbers:

Revenue of $11.0 billion (estimate: $10.8 billion).
Adjusted earnings per share of $0.20 (estimate: $0.12).

Ahead of this report, Nike warned that results would be flattered by a one-time tariff refund (now estimated at roughly $0.52 per share for the bottom line). That gave the company an extra cushion in snapping its streak of seven quarters of year-over-year profit declines.

Over the past year, the company had been punished by tariffs on imported goods, stagnant consumer spending, and increasing competition from other footwear brands like New Balance, Adidas, and Hoka.

Outgoing CFO Matthew Friend deemed it an “increasingly challenging operating environment, where sell-through remains challenged.”
