Assessment

Our Rating

A journalistic assessment by our editorial team at the time of the deep dive — it rates the company, not the entry point. Not investment advice and not a solicitation to buy or sell.

Open questions

The business works in principle, but one material question is open. As long as it stays open, our findings do not carry a quality verdict.

Why this colour

Yellow here is not about balance sheet risk — Oklo's balance sheet is unusually solid: $2,536.9 million of liquidity, $64.9 million of liabilities, no bank debt, no maturity date that could create pressure. Yellow is about the gap between valuation and evidence. The company has reported no revenue to date, states in its own 2025 annual report that it has neither built a powerhouse nor signed a binding power purchase agreement, and as of the quarterly report filed May 12, 2026 had not refiled the license application denied in 2022. At the same time the share count keeps climbing fast (137.7 million on 12/31/2024, 184.8 million on 07/01/2026), and a further sales program of up to $1.0 billion has been running since May 13, 2026. Anyone investing here is not buying earnings power but a funded window of time in which licensing, contracting, and construction have to prove themselves. The decision is yours.

What the thesis turns on

Assessment: Opportunities & Risks

Oklo Inc. is one of the best-funded revenue-less companies on the U.S. market: $2,536.9 million of liquidity against $64.9 million of liabilities as of March 31, 2026, plus $21.3 million of interest income in the first quarter alone. What is missing is everything else — revenue, a plant in the ground, a binding power purchase agreement, and a refiled license application. It is all funded with new stock: from 137.7 million shares (12/31/2024) to 184.8 million (07/01/2026), with an open program for a further $1.0 billion. Not investment advice.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

As of March 31, 2026, Oklo held $2,536.9 million in cash and marketable debt securities against only $64.9 million of total liabilities — no bank debt, no bond, no covenant. Stockholders' equity stood at $2,638.6 million, up from $269.3 million a year earlier. Cash used in operating activities was just $17.9 million in the first quarter of 2026; the company expects $80 million to $100 million for 2026.

Earnings Power

There is no revenue line — neither in the 2025 annual report nor in the quarterly report as of March 31, 2026. Operating expenses rose to $51.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 (prior-year quarter $17.9 million) and the net loss to $33.1 million. The loss was not larger only because $21.3 million of interest and dividend income came in from the company's own portfolio.

Customer Contracts

In its 2025 annual report, Oklo states that it has not yet constructed any powerhouses or entered into any binding power purchase agreement with any customer. The 12-gigawatt Switch agreement (December 2024) is a master framework; the arrangements with Equinix, Diamondback Energy, and Prometheus Hyperscale are non-binding letters of intent. The only customer money received so far: $25.0 million paid in March 2024 for a right of first refusal, still carried unchanged as a liability.

Licensing & Timeline

The combined license application from March 2020 was denied without prejudice in 2022; as of the quarterly report filed May 12, 2026, the updated application had not been refiled. Oklo states that it is uncertain when, if at all, NRC approvals will be obtained — while the first plant is targeted for 2028, described in the filing itself as "ambitious." Mitigating: since August 2025 the Aurora unit at Idaho National Laboratory may proceed under the Department of Energy authorization pathway.

Dilution

Shares outstanding rose from 137.7 million (12/31/2024) to 184.8 million (07/01/2026, Schedule 13D/A). In January 2026 alone, 12,376,352 shares were sold at an average price of $96.95 (gross $1,199.9 million). A further sales program of up to $1.0 billion has been running since May 13, 2026 inside a $3.5 billion shelf registration; on June 24, 2026, another 9.63 million employee shares were registered on Form S-8.

Valuation

Without revenue there is no P/E and no P/S ratio. On a book basis the stock trades at roughly 2.7 times equity per share (data as of 07/27/2026), against $14.97 of net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2026 that consists almost entirely of cash and securities. Nine analysts cover the stock (four strong buy, two buy, three hold, none sell; average price target $86.20, data as of 07/27/2026).

Worth Noting

The hook for this analysis is an attention sweep across the most-discussed U.S. stocks in investor forums on July 27, 2026. At that point Oklo appeared in none of our in-house stock scanner lists — the metric filters require revenue or earnings, and Oklo has neither. Scanner lists are recalculated daily.

Data as of: SEC filings through the Form 10-Q/A dated June 17, 2026, plus current reports, prospectus supplements, and beneficial ownership filings through July 6, 2026; market data (market capitalization, price-to-book, analyst coverage) as of July 27, 2026, last close July 24, 2026.

The Form 10-Q/A dated June 17, 2026 is explicitly not a restatement: its sole purpose was to supply the chief financial officer's conformed signature, inadvertently omitted from the certification in Exhibit 31.2. No figures were changed and no material weakness was identified.

Not to be confused: before May 9, 2024, Oklo Inc. was named AltC Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company. Figures from before the merger relate to the operating predecessor, Oklo Technologies, Inc.

Calculated from the price history · as of 09/18/2026

Valuation

P/E ?Price-to-earnings ratio: how many years of profit does the stock cost? The lower, the cheaper the valuation. No earnings means no P/E.
Forward P/E ?P/E based on expected earnings for the next 12 months instead of past earnings — analysts' bet on the future. 0.0
PEG ?P/E divided by expected earnings growth: puts valuation in relation to growth. Around 1 is considered fair, well above that is pricey.
P/B ?Price-to-book ratio: market value relative to book equity. 2.5
P/S ?Price-to-sales ratio: market value divided by annual sales. Important for companies that aren't (yet) profitable. 5,544.2
EV/EBITDA ?Enterprise value including debt (EV) relative to operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) — more comparable than P/E because debt counts too. Extreme values arise when EBITDA is near zero. -125.8
Price/FCF ?Market value divided by free cash flow: how many years of freely available cash does the stock cost? More honest than P/E because cash flow is harder to dress up.

Profitability

Gross Margin ?Gross margin: what's left of sales after only direct production costs are deducted — the product's pricing power. 40.4%
EBIT Margin ?EBIT margin: operating profit as a percentage of sales — the earning power of the core business before interest and taxes. 0.0%
Net Margin ?Net margin: what's left of sales as profit after ALL costs, interest, and taxes. 0.0%
Return on Equity ?Return on equity: how much profit does the company generate per year on shareholders' equity? -8.9%
Return on Assets ?Return on assets: how much profit the company generates from its total assets (equity and debt combined). -6.7%

Balance Sheet & Safety

Equity Ratio ?Equity ratio: equity as a share of total assets. The higher, the more resilient the balance sheet. 96.6%
Debt/Equity ?Leverage ratio: financial debt divided by equity. Under 1 is generally seen as solid; negative values mean negative equity. 0.00
Altman Z″ ?Edward Altman's bankruptcy early-warning score. We use the Z″ variant, built from four balance-sheet ratios — it is designed for service companies and non-manufacturers and uses book value instead of market value. On that scale: below 1.1 = danger zone, 2.6 and up = safe zone, in between a grey area. Because the classic Altman Z is calculated differently, the two numbers are not directly comparable. The formula does not fit banks, insurers, or real-estate stocks. fortress balance sheet 80.87
Piotroski ?Balance-sheet health check by Joseph Piotroski: 9 yes/no criteria on profit, cash flow, leverage, and efficiency. 7+ is very solid, under 3 is a red flag. 3 out of 9

Growth

Sales Growth Last Quarter ?Sales growth in the most recently reported quarter versus the same quarter a year ago (YoY). 0.00%
EPS Growth Last Quarter ?Growth in earnings per share in the most recently reported quarter versus the same quarter a year ago (YoY). 29.70%
Sales Growth (Year) ?Sales growth in the last fiscal year versus the year before.

Dividend

This stock currently pays no dividend.

Quality & Screener

Stage ?Weinstein phases 1 through 4: 1 = basing, 2 = uptrend (the only buy phase), 3 = topping, 4 = downtrend. Measured against the 30-week line. 4
RS Rating ?Relative strength from 1 to 99: an RS of 95 means the stock has outperformed 95% of all stocks. 17
EPS Rating ?Earnings growth rating from 1 to 99 versus all stocks — high values mean above-average earnings growth. 71
Fundamental Rating ?Our own Fundamental Rating: 0 to 100 points with an A+ to F grade. 50 points is the average across the universe, 100 the best possible score. It scores growth, earnings surprises, analyst estimates, margins, cash flow, and balance-sheet safety — every stock percentile-ranked against all others. Grades: A+ from 95, A from 75, B from 55, C from 45, D from 25, E from 5, F below. E (24 out of 100)

Highlighted are things our editorial team noticed: green = stands out as strong, red = deserves a closer look. No single metric is a verdict on its own — always read it in context.

What Do These Terms Mean?

EPS (Earnings Per Share):
Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
YoY (Year over Year):
Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
Sales:
All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
Net Margin:
What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
FCF (Free Cash Flow):
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.

Valuation

What is priced in?

Free cash flow over the past twelve months is negative, which rules out a serious reverse calculation. Any growth rate only makes a negative cash flow more negative; no present value comes out of it. What the price reflects here is therefore not a stream of cash flows, but the expectation that there will be one at all.

A simplified model calculation — not a forecast and not a recommendation.
