    Listen to the news
    • Earlier this month, Oklo Inc. filed a very large US$1.50 billion at-the-market Class A common stock offering to fund its capital-intensive advanced nuclear build-out while still pre-revenue.
    • At the same time, reports of Oracle delaying key AI data center projects to 2028 have raised fresh questions about the timing of demand for Oklo’s planned microreactors.
    • We’ll now examine how the combination of Oracle’s delayed AI data centers and Oklo’s sizable equity program shapes its investment narrative.

    What Is Oklo's Investment Narrative?

    To own Oklo today, you have to believe that advanced microreactors can move from concept to commercial reality before the company runs short of cash or investor patience. The fresh US$1.50 billion at-the-market program underscores how capital hungry that journey will be, especially with zero revenue and mounting losses. In the near term, the key catalysts still sit around regulatory progress, DOE pilot milestones and converting data center interest, like the Equinix pre-agreement, into firm offtake contracts. Oracle’s reported delays to major AI data centers mainly affect sentiment around the AI power story rather than Oklo’s core execution path, but they do highlight how dependent the narrative has become on hyperscaler timelines. Against that backdrop, repeated equity raises, insider selling and execution risk at INL remain front and center.

    However, one risk here is that repeated equity issuance could materially reshape existing shareholders’ stake. The analysis detailed in our Oklo valuation report hints at an inflated share price compared to its estimated value.
