• Positive Sentiment: Strategic validation from Meta — Oklo is a named partner in Meta’s plan for a 1.2 GW nuclear power campus in Ohio, providing strong commercial validation and a large potential customer for Oklo’s Aurora reactors. This deal underpins long-term revenue visibility if Oklo executes. Power Hungry: Inside Meta’s Huge Investment in a Nuclear Strategy
• Positive Sentiment: Prepayment structure improves project financing — Coverage notes Meta’s prepayment model for the Ohio build, which can de-risk early funding and improve Oklo’s cash-flow profile relative to traditional project finance.

• Positive Sentiment: Market and analyst bullishness — Several bullish write-ups and a Seeking Alpha upgrade emphasize that the Meta agreement materially improves Oklo’s narrative, moving the story from speculative tech to commercial validation and regulatory progress.

• Positive Sentiment: Shrinking short interest — Short interest fell ~17.9% to ~16.97M shares as of Dec. 31, representing ~13.4% of float and about a 2.0 days-to-cover.

Meta deals need US$14 billion in new reactors
• Negative Sentiment: Large capital requirements flagged — BloombergNEF/coverage estimate that next-gen nuclear firms (Oklo, TerraPower) will need more than $14B of new reactor investment to serve Meta’s needs, highlighting significant capex and funding risk that could dilute returns or require partnerships/long timelines. Meta Deals Need $14 Billion in New Reactors
• Negative Sentiment: Valuation and near-term earnings concerns — Commentary (The Motley Fool and others) warns OKLO’s stock looks expensive after a big 2025 run; Oklo remains unprofitable (negative EPS consensus) and execution/regulatory risk keeps short-term downside possible as investors reassess multiple. Is It Too Late to Buy Oklo Stock?
• Neutral Sentiment: Recent intraday moves and headlines — Coverage of price spikes and pullbacks (e.g., AmericanBankingNews noting a prior +7.9% move) shows high investor interest and volatility around the Meta news; expect continued headline-driven swings. Oklo Stock Price Up 7.9%
