NuScale Power Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Alleged Securities Fraud After Massive Stock Collapse

NuScale Power Under Fire for Alleged Securities Fraud

In a significant legal move, NuScale Power Corporation is facing a class action lawsuit filed by leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP. The lawsuit alleges that the company, along with certain executives, misrepresented key information pertaining to its partnership with ENTRA1 Energy LLC, leading to a stark 12.4% decrease in stock value. This class action has sent shockwaves through the investment community, raising urgent questions about corporate accountability and investor rights.

Background of the Case

As a pioneering firm in nuclear technology innovation, NuScale Power is known for its groundbreaking NuScale Power Module (NPM), a type of small modular nuclear reactor (SMR). NuScale had previously inked a partnership with ENTRA1 Energy, entrusting them with constructing power facilities using the NPM technology, financed and facilitated by ENTRA1. The alleged fraud centers on claims that NuScale falsely portrayed ENTRA1 as possessing extensive experience and capability in energy project development, which misled investors about the true nature of this collaboration.

Initially, NuScale painted a glowing picture of ENTRA1’s credentials, proclaiming their expertise in the development of power plants and framing them as an ideal partner to commercialize the NPM technology. However, the reality, as per the lawsuit, contradicts these statements. In truth, ENTRA1 had never completed any substantial projects in the energy sector and was reportedly organized merely to support the ventures of its principal, Wadie Habboush, a figure with limited credentials.

Details of the Allegations

The lawsuit cites misrepresentations made by NuScale regarding ENTRA1's capabilities as a significant factor that contributed to the significant stock drop witnessed in November 2025. On November 6, 2025, NuScale reported a staggering rise in administrative expenses from $17 million in the previous year to $519 million in Q3 2025, largely attributed to a $495 million payment to ENTRA1 for services. Furthermore, NuScale acknowledged under analyst scrutiny that ENTRA1 lacked the necessary experience to engage in nuclear power project execution and would predominantly act as a coordination entity for potential partner engagements.

Following this disclosure, a report by Guggenheim Securities sharply criticized ENTRA1, describing it as an inexperienced and under-equipped entity, contributing further to investor disillusionment. This culminated in a sharp decline in NuScale's stock price from $32.46 to $28.43 over the span of two trading days, translating to a more than 12.4% drop.

Key Legal Proceedings

The class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, under the case caption Truedson v. NuScale Power Corporation. Investors wishing to participate in the lawsuit have until April 20, 2026, to request to be appointed as lead plaintiffs. The action is premised on Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which safeguards against fraudulent activities in the securities market.
