• 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.

• 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.
