UBS Downgrades NuScale Power Stock, Citing 40% Downside Risk Amid Regulatory and Commercial Challenges
UBS has downgraded NuScale Power's stock to 'Sell' from 'Neutral' and slashed its price target to $6 from $10, implying a potential 40% downside from the stock's then-current level. The downgrade reflects concerns about NuScale's ability to transition from regulatory approval to commercial operation of its small modular reactor (SMR) technology. NuScale has received regulatory approval for its US460 standard plant design from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in May 2025, making it the first SMR design to achieve such clearance. However, UBS points to NuScale's financial challenges, including a cumulative deficit of $824.4 million as of June 30, 2026, and significant cash burn of $372.9 million during the first six months of 2026 compared to $56.1 million in the same period of 2025. The company has raised substantial capital through stock sales, including $1 billion from selling 89.7 million Class A shares in the first half of 2026, but UBS remains skeptical about NuScale's timeline for commercial deployment. Competitors are moving toward construction, while NuScale's expected build time exceeds five years with no concrete client commitments. UBS forecasts only one NuScale project breaking ground in 2028 and projects a cumulative cash burn of $700 million from 2026 through 2028. The U.S. Department of Energy has projected that the U.S. may need up to 200 gigawatts of new nuclear capacity by 2050 to meet rising energy demand, creating a significant market opportunity for SMR developers. However, the DOE also warns that delays in deployment could increase capital needs by up to 50%. NuScale has secured a significant milestone with shareholder approval for the Doicești project in Romania, but UBS emphasizes that making investment decisions and actually operating a nuclear power plant are fundamentally different achievements. The company's financial position remains strong with $766.5 million in cash and $1.89 billion in total liquidity, but the path to commercialization remains uncertain. The downgrade highlights the broader challenges facing the small modular reactor industry in translating regulatory progress into operational reality.

Iran's Strategic Dilemma Following U.S. and Israeli Military Actions
The article discusses the recent military actions by the United States and Israel against Iran, highlighting the complex geopolitical implications. The author, Rafael Poch de Feliu, notes that the U.S. has attacked the eighth Muslim country in fifteen years, with a double violation of international law by targeting nuclear facilities, which are explicitly prohibited. The piece draws parallels between past U.S. interventions in Libya, Iraq, Syria, and Serbia—countries without nuclear weapons—and North Korea, which has not been attacked due to its nuclear arsenal. Iran, having signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), has been attacked, creating incentives for other nations to pursue nuclear weapons for survival, as seen with North Korea. The article details two attacks on Iran: one by Israel on June 13 while Iran was negotiating with the U.S., and another by the U.S. on June 22 while Iran was negotiating with the European Union in Geneva. This raises questions about U.S. reliability in negotiations, particularly among Tehran, Moscow, and Beijing. European powers are cooperating militarily with Israel, with German and French aircraft supporting operations against Iranian projectiles in Jordan, while British naval forces operate in the Red Sea and Mediterranean. The author argues that such actions are consolidating cooperation between China, Russia, Belarus, Iran, and North Korea, though no direct military aid to Iran has been reported. Iran faces a strategic dilemma: responding proportionally to U.S. or Israeli attacks risks nuclear escalation, while a weak response could embolden further aggression. The article cites a Qatari Al Jazeera correspondent in Tehran who suggests Iran is considering a 'strategic, carefully considered response' rather than immediate retaliation. The author also references unresolved questions about Iran's missile capabilities, potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and whether China and Russia will support Iran. The piece concludes by criticizing U.S. President Trump for betraying his promise to avoid further wars, with public opinion largely opposing military escalation. The article questions whether the U.S. remains a modern state with institutional dialogue or has become an 'empire of a kind of nuclear-armed Nero.'
