The story
The U.S. DOE has selected Oklo for advanced negotiations under the Surplus Plutonium Utilization Program, giving the Sam Altman-backed startup a potential pipeline to weapons-grade plutonium as reactor fuel. This is a meaningful commercialization catalyst for Oklo, but the stock has already spiked 4.3% today on heavy insider selling backdrop.

Wrong ifDOE announces accelerated timeline or additional contract awards, re-igniting momentum buying; any formal price target publication from sell-side upgrades would also invalidate the short thesis.
