Despite facing regulatory challenges and examination following valuation changes post-analyst downgrades, the company's nuclear space investment is considered a good option. However, the company is also noted to be carrying a heavy debt load while maintaining steady dividends, which could impede financial growth. Jim Cramer suggested treading carefully with SO investments due to the unfolding AI Energy Boom.
