Nuscale Power Corp.: Q2 FY2026 earnings call

What management said about Q2 FY2026, from the documents filed with the SEC on 5 August 2026: press release. The quarter’s numbers.

Key takeaways

  • TVA discussions toward definitive agreement: ENTRA1, NuScale's exclusive global strategic partner, continues discussions with TVA toward a definitive power purchase agreement for what the release calls potentially the largest nuclear deployment program in U.S. history. Source
  • RoPower conditions on Romanian vote: NuScale is working with Nuclearelectrica and RoPower Nuclear to meet conditions tied to the Nuclearelectrica shareholder vote. The vote concerns a project to deploy six NPMs at a former coal plant site in Doicești, Romania. Source
  • Paragon awarded HIPS design contract: NuScale awarded Paragon, a supplier of safety-related products, a contract to complete final design development of the Highly Integrated Protection System, which the release calls a supply chain readiness milestone. Source
  • Cash and investments reached $1.9 billion: Cash, cash equivalents and short- and long-term investments were $1.9 billion at June 30, 2026, against $1.0 billion at March 31, 2026, per the first-quarter release. Source
  • Share sales raised $984 million: Proceeds from issuing common stock, net of fees, were $984,475 thousand in the six months, against $37,261 thousand in the first quarter. Class A shares outstanding reached 410,367,790 at June 30. Source
  • Revenue fell to $75 thousand: Revenue was $75 thousand for the quarter, down $8.0 million. The release attributes this to FEED Phase 2 work for RoPower, completed in late 2025, with no comparable 2026 activity. Source
  • Other expenses rose $8.0 million: Other expenses rose $8.0 million to $18,547 thousand. The release attributes this mainly to engineers and project personnel working on fewer commercial projects, lowering the cost of sales allocation. Source

“As demand for clean, reliable power grows more urgent by the day, the question for off- takers is no longer whether to go with nuclear - it is which technology can actually deliver, and when,”

John Hopkins, NuScale President and Chief Executive Officer
