Updated June 17, 2025
BWX Technologies, Inc. (BWXT) is riding high, listed among the best nuclear energy stocks. The company’s stock closed at a record high this week following the announcement of a significant contract secured by a joint venture it leads. The deal involves managing Canadian Nuclear Laboratories and is valued at about 1.2 billion Canadian dollars annually for six years, with potential extensions up to 20 years.
BWX Technologies is also expanding its reach through acquisitions. Last month, the company finalized its purchase of Kinectrics, a move designed to boost its lifecycle management, specialized plant services, and engineering capabilities. The acquisition nearly doubles BWXT’s workforce.

“As we announced our intention to acquire Kinectrics in January, we have been looking forward to this day, when the complementary nature of our organizations begins to take shape. From the commercial nuclear power market to medical isotopes, we are enhancing our capabilities across the board, supporting a growing nuclear new build and life extension industry in Canada and strengthening BWXT’s position in the global nuclear market.”
The company’s share price has jumped more than 23% since the start of the year.
