Stock price when the opinion was issued
EPS was -7.9c vs estimates of -6.8c; The revenue base remains minimal. Cash flow last year was negative $38.4M, a bit better than expected. The stock is really not trading on current earnings/revenue, however. It is hard to analyze on regular fundamentals with no sales. It surged on Monday as it said it was engaging with the NRC in a pre-application readiness assessment. Trump policies should be good to reduce red tape in the nuclear sector. The company has $275M cash. It has good backing, and there is certainly potential here. We would of course prefer to see actual revenue and positive cash flow. Insiders own 19%. The stock has done very well, up 36% YTD and 162% in a year. We would consider it a bit more than 'somewhat' speculative, and high Beta. But if the market does well, we would expect good things here.
