10 Stocks That Underperformed Last Week

2. Oklo Inc. (NYSE:OKLO)

Daily sell-offs persisted throughout the shortened trading week for Oklo’s shares, which pushed a 26.28-percent slash in its prices week-on-week to end at $38.79 on Friday versus the $52.62 registered on February 14.

Last Friday’s finish marked the second consecutive week of the nuclear energy firm’s drop in stock performance, having settled at $55.49 on February 7, or two weeks earlier, as investor sentiment was dampened by concerns surrounding the Artificial Intelligence industry in the US with the emergence of China’s startup AI platform DeepSeek.

In particular, investors feared that China was beginning to dominate the AI industry at a time when the US government announced support for the advancement of the sector. Concerns were further fueled that it may not need a huge demand of energy to power its data centers.

Since DeepSeek’s surface, AI stocks have since struggled to regain ground.
