On August 10, Oklo Inc. fell 5.69% in regular trading, trading at $45.0/share, with turnover of $91.01 million. The decline was driven by a combination of wider-than-expected Q2 losses and planned insider share sales by top executives.
Oklo reported Q2 adjusted loss of $0.28 per share, significantly missing the analyst consensus estimate of $0.16 loss and widening from a $0.18 loss in the year-ago period. While revenue of $1.2 million marked the company's first quarterly revenue and far exceeded the $126,250 estimate, the deeper-than-expected loss weighed on sentiment.
Adding pressure, CEO Jacob DeWitte and COO Caroline Cochran each filed Form 144 to sell 400,000 Class A common shares, totaling approximately $31.06 million in market value. This executive selling plan compounded the negative earnings surprise. The stock had surged over 17% earlier in the week after the U.S. Department of Energy confirmed Oklo's small modular reactor achieved first criticality, but the dual headwinds of earnings miss and insider selling triggered a pullback.
