Bank of America sees room for Oklo to run
Lest you thought the market was souring on the prospect of Oklo stock rising even higher than its massive gain in 2025, Bank of America analyst Dimple Gosai believes the nuclear energy stock's climb isn't over. The analyst initiated coverage on Oklo stock today with a buy rating and a $92 price target. With Oklo shares closing at $71.19 yesterday, Gosai's price target implies upside of 29.2%.
According to The Fly, Gosai predicated her opinion on the belief that Oklo is "well positioned to meet the rising energy needs of [artificial intelligence] AI." Plus, Gosai believes Oklo's pipeline that includes memoranda of understanding totaling about 14 gigawatts distinguishes itself from SMR peers.
Just because one analyst is bullish doesn't mean Oklo stock is right for you
While BofA is bullish about Oklo's prospects, it's important to acknowledge that not every analyst shares the same view. Last week, UBS initiated coverage on Oklo with a neutral rating and a $65 price target. More importantly, investors must recognize that analysts often base their price targets on shorter time frames than the multiyear holding periods that The Motley Fool favors.
Since Oklo still doesn't have a design licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the stock represents a higher degree of risk. Therefore, only those who are comfortable with a more speculative investment should consider a position.
