Oklo (OKLO) has spent most of 2026 working on nuclear reactor deployment, signing landmark deals, and advancing fuel recycling technology. But Wall Street's attention is shifting to a different kind of energy building around OKLO stock: short interest. Bears have piled in heavily, yet a fast-growing list of catalysts suggests that the pressure could flip fast.
According to a report, through the end of April, Oklo carried the highest short interest among utility stocks with market capitalizations above $2 billion, with 16.45% of its shares outstanding sold short. Accordingly, a potential short squeeze — not earnings — could be the next big catalyst for investors.
