Inside Oklo's 14% Jump (Q2 Earnings Review)

Oklo's Q2 surprised with $1.2M in revenue and a 14% post‑earnings jump, but the beat came from acquired businesses and doesn't yet validate the core fast‑fission model. The Groves reactor reaching first criticality in 229 days shows real execution capability, yet major uncertainties remain around Aurora‑INL's full-cost structure and expected returns. Despite stronger execution and a larger cash runway, valuation still screens neutral; the stock reflects the base‑case scenario, and more cost disclosure is needed before upgrading.
