Analyst Signals Profit-Taking Opportunity After Oklo Stock’s Sharp Reversal

On 29 October 2025, market commentator Guy Adami told investors in Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO) to consider locking in profits after the company’s shares surged to a record intraday level before retreating sharply on unusually heavy trading volume.

Adami, speaking on CNBC, pointed to several technical factors that, in his view, warranted immediate action. The stock notched a new all-time high earlier in the session but ended the day near its lows, with turnover estimated at 1.5 to two times its daily average. Describing the recent rally as “parabolic,” the analyst urged holders to “move your feet,” suggesting that they sell a portion of their position—whether half, a third, or another fraction—to capture gains already on the table.

Oklo’s rapid ascent has placed the company among the top ten trending equities highlighted by financial research platform Insider Monkey. The list, published the same day by writer Fahad Saleem, grouped the advanced-reactor developer with other stocks and exchange-traded funds that have benefited from rising interest in artificial intelligence (AI). The publication referenced a broader forecast that AI deployment could generate roughly US$9 trillion in productivity gains across the global economy.

While acknowledging Oklo’s potential, Insider Monkey indicated a stronger conviction in select AI-related companies that it believes offer higher return prospects with comparatively limited downside. The outlet promoted a complimentary report focused on what it described as an “extremely cheap” AI stock positioned to benefit from proposed tariff policies and an ongoing trend toward domestic manufacturing. Additional reading suggestions in the same article included “30 Stocks That Should Double in 3 Years” and “11 Hidden AI Stocks to Buy Right Now.”

Oklo, headquartered in California, is developing small, advanced fission reactors designed to supply reliable, carbon-free power. The firm began trading on the New York Stock Exchange earlier this year after completing a business combination with a special-purpose acquisition company. Investors have bid up the shares amid broader enthusiasm for companies tied to next-generation energy technologies and AI-enabled solutions in the power sector.

Trading data on 29 October showed that the stock’s initial spike drew incremental buying interest before a wave of profit-taking reversed the move. Adami interpreted the pattern as a signal that short-term momentum may be waning, at least temporarily, and advised market participants to manage risk accordingly. He stopped short of issuing a formal rating or price target, instead emphasizing the tactical step of trimming positions after an extended run-up.

The analyst’s remarks come at a time when many investors are weighing how to balance exposure to high-growth themes such as AI, clean energy and semiconductor manufacturing. Oklo’s advances align with policy initiatives encouraging the build-out of resilient, low-carbon infrastructure, but the share price has already registered significant gains since its market debut. Adami’s suggestion to reduce holdings reflects a common strategy among traders seeking to protect capital in volatile, momentum-driven names.

Regulatory filings show that Oklo continues to refine its reactor design and pursue licenses from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The company’s most recent updates can be found through the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which maintains a repository of corporate disclosures.

Neither Adami nor Insider Monkey disclosed ownership positions in Oklo at the time of the broadcast and publication, respectively. The Insider Monkey article carried the standard notice stating “Disclosure: None.”

Investors following Oklo now face a choice highlighted by Adami’s commentary: realize part of their gains after a swift upward move or maintain full exposure in anticipation of further appreciation. The stock’s next catalysts are likely to include any regulatory milestones, updates on reactor deployment timelines and broader shifts in market sentiment toward nuclear energy and AI-leveraged industrial applications.
