Description: BW Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises November 14, 2025
Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises (NYSE: BW) delivers energy and emissions-control solutions across industrial, utility, municipal and international markets through three operating segments: Renewable, Environmental and Thermal. The Renewable segment focuses on waste-to-energy, hydrogen generation (BrightLoop) and biomass-based power (OxyBright), while the Environmental segment supplies nitrogen-oxide, sulfur-dioxide, mercury and carbon-capture technologies for a range of fuels. The Thermal segment provides aftermarket services, engineered upgrades and a portfolio of steam-generation boilers for power, oil-&-gas, petrochemical and heavy-industry customers.
Key metrics (FY 2023) show BW generated roughly $2.2 billion in revenue, with the Renewable segment contributing about 22 % and posting a 7 % higher year-over-year growth rate than the Thermal segment, reflecting accelerating demand for circular-economy solutions. The global waste-to-energy market is projected to expand at a CAGR of ~6 % through 2030, driven by stricter landfill regulations and carbon-pricing policies in the U.S., Europe and Southeast Asia-regions where BW already has a footprint.
Analysts should watch BW’s capital-expenditure plans for its OxyBright and BrightLoop platforms, as well as any policy shifts in the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act that could unlock additional subsidies for hydrogen and biomass projects. For a deeper, data-driven assessment of BW’s valuation and risk profile, a look at the ValueRay analytics platform can provide useful benchmarks and scenario analysis.
