e.l.f Beauty, Box And Joby Aviation Are Among Top 11 Mid-Cap Gainers Last Week (May 26-May 30): Are Others In Your Portfolio?

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nuclear-energy">nuclear energy sector</a> just got a jolt of presidential power—and Wall Street noticed. Shares of nuclear-power startup Oklo Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>), uranium supplier Centrus Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEU#NYSE">LEU</a>), and reactor heavyweight BWX Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BWXT#NYSE">BWXT</a>) charged higher this week as President Donald Trump signed a suite of executive orders aimed at reviving the U.S. nuclear industry.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump&#8217;s Nuclear Push Ignites Analyst Optimism</h2>
Calling it "the most consequential shift in energy policy of our lifetimes," William Blair analyst Jed Dorsheimer initiated coverage of the three companies with Outperform ratings, citing a policy backdrop that now aggressively favors nuclear innovation and domestic uranium production.
Trump's four executive orders—signed Friday—mandate faster licensing timelines, greenlight federal land for new nuclear builds, and prioritize AI data centers and defense facilities as early beneficiaries. The goal: break regulatory bottlenecks and unleash a new wave of U.S.-based nuclear projects, including 10 large reactors by 2030.

Oklo, which aims to bring its first small modular reactor (SMR) online by 2028, saw its stock surge over 10% Tuesday and is now up 150% in 2025 alone. Dorsheimer pegs Oklo's fair value at $70—a roughly 30% upside from current levels—with bullish scenarios reaching as high as $82.

Centrus Energy, the only U.S.-owned uranium enricher, is riding its own wave. The stock soared nearly 13% Tuesday, fueled by technical momentum and strategic positioning amid growing national security concerns over enriched uranium supplies. Blair's price target: $185—about 42% upside from current prices.

BWX Technologies, long the Navy's go-to nuclear supplier, could expand its footprint into commercial SMRs. Though its recent gains were modest, Blair sees a potential 36% climb with a target of $173.
With all three stocks now trading well above key moving averages, the trend is bullish—and the policy winds are clearly at their back. 
Whether you believe in the trillion-dollar nuclear dream or just want to ride the momentum, Wall Street's message is clear: this trio is officially on watch.

Nuclear Trio Oklo, Centrus, BWX Soar As Trump Supercharges Reactor Policy

A group of stocks tied to uranium mining and nuclear energy surged to levels not seen since mid-2008, capping off an extraordinary rally in May that is repositioning nuclear power at the center of both the global energy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/uranium">transition and investor portfolios.</a>
The VanEck Uranium and Nuclear ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NLR#NYSE">NLR</a>) rose to $100 per share on Tuesday, May 28, 2025, reclaiming territory last reached in July 2008. 
The fund has now posted eight consecutive weeks of gains, climbing 56% from April lows and 28% in May alone — on pace to mark its strongest month since inception in 2007.
The rally gained fresh momentum in the wake of President Donald Trump's executive order last week, which laid out a strategy to rebuild America's nuclear fuel cycle, reduce dependence on foreign uranium and supercharge reactor development over the next decade.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Who's Leading The Nuclear Rally?</h1>
Three companies have emerged as standout winners in May's uranium breakout:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Oklo Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) is up 130.7% since late April. The firm develops compact advanced fission reactors aimed at off-grid and remote installations, positioning itself as a leader in next-gen nuclear tech. Last week, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/mid-cap/25/05/45618496/oklo-inks-deal-with-south-korean-nuclear-giant-for-global-push">company signed a key partnership</a> with South Korean Nuclear Giant&nbsp;Korea Hydro &amp; Nuclear Power.</li>
<li>NuScale Power Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMR#NYSE">SMR</a>) has gained 114.7%. It specializes in Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), a scalable and cost-efficient technology now getting federal backing.</li>
<li>Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEU#NYSE">LEU</a>) has risen 91.4%. The company supplies enriched uranium fuel for commercial and government use, and stands to benefit from expanded enrichment capabilities outlined in Trump's order.</li>
</ul>
Other notable gainers in the past month include Boss Energy Limited (OTCPK: BQSSF), up 50%; NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNE#NASDAQ">NNE</a>), up 42.1% and Canadian uranium mining heavyweight Cameco Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>), which is up 37.8%.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What's Fueling The Nuclear Rally?</h1>
Much of the momentum stems from the May 23 executive order signed by President Trump, which outlines an aggressive roadmap for U.S. nuclear revitalization. 
Among the core initiatives:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>10 new nuclear reactors under construction by 2030</li>
<li>5 gigawatts of uprated capacity from existing facilities</li>
<li>Expansion of uranium enrichment, conversion and recycling</li>
<li>Reinvigoration of the domestic nuclear fuel supply chain</li>

In a research note last week, Goldman Sachs analyst Brian Lee said the policy shift provides "a meaningful tailwind for companies in the nuclear fuel supply chain."
Lee reiterated a Buy rating on Cameco, citing its exposure to rising uranium demand and its 49% stake in Westinghouse, a key player in new reactor builds.
"We view the Westinghouse segment would likely see an uplift as construction on new nuclear plants begins," he said.
He also flagged NuScale as a beneficiary of federal investment, given the administration's support for SMRs in both civilian and defense applications.
Goldman Sachs forecasts global nuclear capacity will grow from 378GW to 575GW by 2040, boosting its share of the global electricity mix to 12%. 
The need for reliable, emissions-free baseload power — especially to support the electrification of vehicles, AI-driven data centers and grid stability — is now reviving nuclear's appeal.

Uranium Stocks Hit 17-Year Highs As May's Rally Marks Best Month On Record

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said IonQ, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>) is &#8220;so high,&#8221; and it's also losing so much money.&#8221; He added that it's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/IONQ">too speculative&#8221; for him</a>.
As per the recent news, IonQ, on May 23, formed a strategic partnership with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information, or KISTI, to advance South Korea's quantum technology goals.
Oklo Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) is &#8220;literally five years behind GE Vernova (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>),&#8221; Cramer said. &#8220;I don't have the time for that when I can just go buy GE Vernova.&#8221;
As per the recent news, Oklo, on May 27, signed an MOU with Korea Hydro &amp; Nuclear Power to collaborate on the development and deployment of its nuclear technology.
Cramer said he prefers Phillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) over Valero Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>). &#8220;I think Valero's already had too much of a run,&#8221; he added.
On the earnings front, Valero Energy, on April 24, reported a first-quarter sales of $30.26 billion, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $28.68 billion.
Verona Pharma plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRNA#NASDAQ">VRNA</a>) is a &#8220;rocket ship. Again, very, very speculative because it loses a lot of money. Does have a couple things in the pipe that people like, but also has a huge amount of insider selling, frankly,&#8221; Cramer said.
Verona Pharma, on April 29, reported mixed results for the first quarter.
&#8220;What a horse,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEU#NYSE">LEU</a>). &#8220;I suggest that you calm down and you buy GE Vernova (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>).&#8221;
On the earnings front, Centrus Energy, on May 7, reported better-than-expected first-quarter revenue results.
Price Action:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Valero Energy shares gained 1.7% to settle at $130.71 on Tuesday.</li>
<li>IONQ shares jumped 5.1% to close at $48.04 during the session.</li>
<li>Verona Pharma shares gained 0.7% to settle at $75.61.</li>
<li>Centrus Energy shares gained 12.9% to close at $127.86 on Tuesday.</li>
<li>Oklo shares jumped 10.3% to settle at $53.90.</li>

Shares of nuclear stocks are trading higher on reports indicating Trump will sign executive orders to ease regulatory requirements for new reactors.

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives highlighted nuclear energy stocks in a note released Friday and pointed to Oklo, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) as the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45583796/nuclear-stocks-oklo-nano-nuclear-constellation-energy-surge-in-friday-pre-market-whats-going-on"> star of the sector.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: President Donald Trump is expected to sign executive orders as early as Friday to boost the nuclear energy industry by streamlining approvals for new reactors and strengthening fuel supply chains. 
Read Next:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/mid-cap/25/05/45587750/uranium-stocks-surge-trumps-nuclear-push-sparks-double-digit-gains?utm_source=articleShare"> Uranium Stocks Surge: Trump&#8217;s Nuclear Push Sparks Double-Digit Gains</a>&nbsp;
The anticipated executive orders are expected to direct federal agencies to expedite permitting and siting of new nuclear facilities and instruct the Departments of Energy and Defense to identify federal lands and facilities suitable for nuclear deployment, bypassing some of the current Nuclear Regulatory Commission hurdles.
Expert Ideas: Ives pointed to Oklo as a primary beneficiary of Trump's policy changes. It plans to submit a combined license application by the end of 2025 and deploy its first commercial power plant by 2027. Increased federal support and streamlined regulation could accelerate this.
Oklo's business model of building, owning and operating its own reactors while selling power directly to customers under long-term contracts positions it well for recurring revenues and addresses common pain points in nuclear projects, Ives said.&nbsp;
He sees Oklo as "set to be a major player" in the "AI Revolution datacenter buildout."
Wedbush maintained an Outperform rating on Oklo stock and raised its price target from $45 to $55. 
Other Nuclear Stocks: The Wedbush senior analyst also highlighted other companies likely to benefit from the executive orders including nuclear energy stocks such as NuScale Power Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMR#NYSE">SMR</a>), Lightbridge Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LTBR#NASDAQ">LTBR</a>) and Centrus Energy Corp. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEU#AMEX">LEU</a>), as well as uranium suppliers like Energy Fuels Inc. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUUU#AMEX">UUUU</a>), Cameco Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>), Uranium Energy Corp.

Why Intuit Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 8%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

After grappling with regulatory hurdles, rising capital costs, and rapidly declining costs of renewables like solar, Cathie Wood&#8216;s Ark Invest highlights in its new research that nuclear energy can potentially emerge as the lowest-cost source of electricity, outcompeting solar.
What Happened: A new research note from Sam Korus, the director of research for autonomous technology and robotics at Ark, published on May 14, highlights that nuclear power&#8217;s promise of reliable baseload energy was overshadowed by soaring expenses, particularly after the 1970s.
While solar costs have plummeted, Ark Invest&#8217;s analysis highlights a crucial, often overlooked factor: utilization rates.
&#8220;A quick glance suggests nuclear wouldn&#8217;t be as low as solar on a cost-per-watt basis,&#8221; the research note explains, &#8220;but importantly, the first glance misses a key point: nuclear plants operate at more than 80% utilization, while solar plants operate at a capacity utilization rate in the low 20s%.&#8221;
When adjusted for this, the playing field dramatically shifts, explains Korus in his research.
The research proposes four potential cost scenarios for nuclear, with the most optimistic envisioning a &#8220;step-change cost decline to pre-1975 nuclear cost trendline.&#8221;
This discontinuous drop, driven by new companies like Oklo Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>), could lead to overall capital costs of approximately $3.3 trillion, making nuclear power the lowest-cost option.
Korus adds, &#8220;The future of nuclear energy depends upon costs. If a company were to achieve a discontinuous decline in costs, nuclear power could emerge as the lowest-cost source of electricity.&#8221;
Here&#8217;s a list of some solar energy-linked stocks and exchange-traded funds that investors could consider.

Why It Matters: Talking about solar energy, Korus said that while solar costs are expected to continue their decline, there are significant logistical challenges.
&#8220;Solar's land requirement at 71.4 million acres would be a considerable logistical challenge,&#8221; the note states.
This vast footprint, coupled with complex real estate negotiations and long interconnect times, could make large-scale solar deployment difficult, leaving a vital role for alternative sources like nuclear.
