Overview
- Oklo, which reported results Friday, recorded quarterly revenue of $1.21 million versus a Wall Street consensus of about $83,800, signaling early commercial receipts that are still small in absolute terms.
- The company reported a Q2 net loss of $48.5 million and GAAP loss per share of $0.28, both wider than analyst expectations and roughly double the prior-year quarterly loss.
- Oklo said R&D and operating expenses rose to $39.5 million from $11.5 million a year earlier and attributed the wider loss to stepped-up spending as it scales operations.
- The balance sheet strengthened after at-the-market equity offerings, leaving Oklo with $3.0 billion in cash and marketable securities (about $1.66 billion in cash and $1.4 billion in securities) after a roughly $1.9 billion increase in H1.
- Cash flow showed heavy capital deployment with Q2 operating cash use of $65.5 million and year-to-date investing cash use of $912.7 million, a profile that drove an initial ~7% stock gap higher at the open before gains trimmed to about 4% as investors weighed burn and execution risks.
