Oklo completes reactor build and reports first revenue

Overview

In August 2026, Oklo Inc. reached a major technical milestone when its Groves Isotope Test Reactor in Lockhart, Texas, achieved first criticality on August 6. This controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction occurred less than a year after breaking ground on the greenfield site, making it the first project under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Reactor Pilot Program to reach criticality on privately owned land.

Following the achievement, Oklo announced it completed construction of the Groves One pilot reactor in 229 days. CEO Jacob DeWitte noted this is the “fastest U.S. non-military reactor build completed under modern Department of Energy (DOE) and environmental regulations.” The company intends to use this project as a repeatable blueprint for the AI and manufacturing sectors, with plans to generate revenue from an Idaho radiochemistry lab in early 2027.

Financially, Oklo reported its first-ever quarterly revenue of approximately $1.21 million, primarily from services, significantly exceeding analyst estimates of $0.09 million. However, the company continues to operate at a loss, reporting a year-to-date net loss of $81.6 million through the second quarter of 2026. While the company maintains $3 billion in liquidity, its stock has experienced volatility, recently trading around $43 after reaching a record high of $174.14 in October 2025.

Oklo is not yet a commercial power provider; its Aurora powerhouses remain in development with deployment targets for 2027 and 2028. Recent insider activity includes stock sales by John Hanson in August and General Counsel Vivek Narayanadas in September, both to cover tax withholding obligations.
