Description: BWXT BWX Technologies March 01, 2026
BWX Technologies (BWXT) designs, manufactures, and services a broad portfolio of nuclear-related hardware and engineering solutions for government, commercial, and medical markets. Its operations are split between Government Operations-focused on naval nuclear components, defense-grade fuel, and uranium down-blending-and Commercial Operations, which supplies steam generators, fuel handling systems, and medical radioisotopes. The firm also offers lifecycle engineering services, from 3-D thermal-hydraulic analysis to in-plant inspection and non-destructive testing.
In its latest quarter (Q4 2025), BWXT reported revenue of $1.22 billion, a 9 % YoY increase, and GAAP earnings per share of $0.68, driven by a 12 % rise in its order backlog to $2.34 billion. The backlog is heavily weighted toward U.S. Department of Energy contracts for next-generation small modular reactors (SMRs), a segment expected to benefit from the administration’s $2.5 billion nuclear modernization budget. Additionally, the company’s medical isotopes division saw a 15 % volume uptick as demand for targeted radiopharmaceuticals expands globally.
