Deep Fission, Inc. is a pre-revenue nuclear technology company focused on the development and commercialization of underground small modular reactors (SMRs). The company's core product, the Gravity Nuclear Reactor, adapts established pressurized water reactor (PWR) technology and standard low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel for deployment in 30-inch diameter boreholes drilled one mile below the Earth's surface. This novel approach leverages the surrounding bedrock for natural shielding and containment, while utilizing the hydrostatic pressure of the deep water column to support reactor cooling and operating pressure. By eliminating the need for massive surface containment structures, Deep Fission expects to significantly reduce construction timelines, capital costs, and surface footprints compared to conventional nuclear plants. The company's business model encompasses upfront revenue from reactor delivery, engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) support, as well as recurring revenue from technology licensing, operations and maintenance (O&M) services, and long-term electricity sales through power purchase agreements. Deep Fission is currently advancing its first pilot project in Parsons, Kansas, having been selected for the U.S. Department of Energy's Reactor Pilot Program, with a target of achieving criticality by 2026. The company primarily targets hyperscale data centers, heavy industry, and utilities seeking firm, dispatchable clean energy.
Market capitalization, or "market cap", is the aggregate market value of a company represented in a dollar amount. Since it represents the “market” value of a company, it is computed based on the current market price (CMP) of its shares and the total number of outstanding shares.
Enterprise value (EV) measures a company's total value, often used as a more comprehensive alternative to equity market capitalization. EV includes in its calculation the market capitalization of a company but also short-term and long-term debt and any cash or cash equivalents on the company's balance sheet.
The enterprise value-to-revenue multiple (EV/R) is a measure of the value of a stock that compares a company's enterprise value to its revenue. EV/R is one of several fundamental indicators that investors use to determine whether a stock is priced fairly. The EV/R multiple is also often used to determine a company's valuation in the case of a potential acquisition. It's also called the enterprise value-to-sales multiple.
The enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ratio (EV/EBITDA) compares the value of a company—debt included—to the company's cash earnings less non-cash expenses. It's best to use the EV/EBITDA metric when comparing companies within the same industry or sector. Typically, when evaluating a company, an EV/EBITDA value below 10 is seen as healthy.
It follows the same logic as the EV/EBITDA indicator, but instead of EBITDA, EBIT is used, which considers non-cash D&A expenses in the company's operating result.
