• Positive Sentiment: Unusually large call-option activity — about 146,774 calls traded (roughly +31% vs typical daily call volume) — suggests speculative bullish positioning from traders expecting further upside or news flow.
• Positive Sentiment: Sector and headlines are favoring NuScale: several articles highlight NuScale as a potential beneficiary of multi‑year CapEx into infrastructure, energy and AI data centers (a thematic tailwind if hyperscalers pursue on-site or dedicated nuclear solutions). See coverage that places SMR in the group of industrial names likely to benefit. CapEx beneficiaries article Hyperscalers piece
• Neutral Sentiment: Some of the intraday lift tied to Meta’s announced nuclear deals — media attention links NuScale to that narrative even though NuScale was not a counterparty in Meta’s announced agreements; that makes the move partly sentiment-driven rather than contract-driven. Fool article
• Neutral Sentiment: Pre-market and early coverage picked up the story and amplified trading interest; some outlets flagged the stock’s jump and asked whether current pricing already reflects future value, which could temper further immediate gains. Yahoo Finance valuation piece Investing.com premarket
• Negative Sentiment: Fundamentals remain a constraint: recent quarterly results missed estimates (large EPS shortfall), revenue is still small relative to market expectations, and the company posts negative margins and returns — factors that increase execution risk and make the stock sensitive to sentiment shifts.
