Jim Cramer Prefers GEV Over NuScale, Calls the Latter “Too Speculative”

NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE:SMR) was among the stocks Jim Cramer commented on as he advised investors on how to take advantage of Wednesday’s market rotation. When a caller inquired about the stock during the lightning round, Cramer remarked, “It’s too speculative for me. I like GEV… GEV is safer. GEV’s safer.”

NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE:SMR) provides advanced small modular reactor technology centered on its 77-MWe NuScale Power Module. During the December 15, 2025, episode, Cramer mentioned the stock and commented:

NuScale Power, which is trying to build small-scale nuclear reactors. Like the other nuclear plays, this company’s losing fortunes. Its stock, which at one time was at $57, is now at $17 and change, down just 3% for the year. I hope we can stay at that level, but it might not because, well, it’s got a pretty lofty evaluation still.

It is worth noting that since the above comment was aired, the company’s stock has declined by nearly 42%.
