Peer group, and who names Oklo as a peer
Companies that benchmark against OKLO
2 companies name OKLO as a compensation peer
- LIGHTBRIDGE CorpLTBRFY2025
- Nano Nuclear Energy Inc.NNEFY2025
- NUSCALE POWER CorpSMRFY2025
Each company listed discloses OKLO in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named OKLO in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.
Chief executive pay against the peer group
Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company’s own proxy statement.
