Energy-driven AI stocks poised to fuel the subsequent technological explosion
In the rapidly evolving world of renewable energy, two companies are making waves in their respective fields: Fluence Energy and Oklo.
Fluence Energy, a global leader in storage solutions, is poised for significant growth in 2026. The company anticipates revenue growth above 20% thanks to the incentives offered by the Inflation Reduction Act. With its expertise in building grid-scale battery systems to store renewable energy for when the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow, Fluence Energy is a pure play on the grid stability that AI workloads demand. Despite its leading position, Fluence Energy trades at just 0.6x sales, a fact that may present an intriguing opportunity for investors.
Meanwhile, Oklo, a promising start-up, aims to leapfrog incumbents and become a cornerstone supplier of power in an AI-driven world. If small modular reactors achieve scale, they could deliver EBITDA margins far higher than traditional utilities. Oklo's first commercial reactor is scheduled for deployment by 2027, pending Nuclear Regulatory Commission approvals. The company has already secured long-term power contracts with tech giants like Microsoft and Meta, promising secure, carbon-free energy for their data centers.
Despite being pre-revenue, Oklo trades at a valuation above $10 billion, a testament to investor expectations. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved companies like Oklo and X-Energy to operate their first commercial microreactors by 2027.
On the traditional energy front, NextEra Energy continues to dominate with its commitment to renewable energy. The company has raised its dividend for 31 straight years and targets 10% annual growth through 2026. NextEra Energy has also committed $120 billion through 2029 to build solar, wind, and battery storage.
As these companies continue to innovate and grow, they are shaping the future of energy, offering a promising outlook for a cleaner, more stable, and more efficient energy landscape.
