About BWX Technologies
BWX Technologies makes and sells nuclear components, working across the United States, Canada and other international markets. It is widely recognized for supplying precision naval and nuclear parts, including reactors, nuclear fuel and assemblies, much of this tied to national defense and propulsion programs, as well as for producing equipment used in commercial nuclear power generation.
The company organizes its work into three groups. One builds naval and defense-related nuclear components, fabricates missile launch tubes for submarines, and handles the processing of uranium-bearing materials, while also supplying fuel elements to research reactors at universities and national laboratories. A second group serves commercial nuclear power plants with steam generators, fuel handling systems, pressure vessels and related equipment, alongside engineering, inspection and maintenance services, and it also supplies medical radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals. A third group supports nuclear materials processing, environmental remediation, and broader operating and technology work tied to nuclear reactors.
The company traces its origins to 1867 under the name The Babcock & Wilcox Company and took on its present name, BWX Technologies, in June 2015. It is headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia, and its shares are listed on the NYSE under the ticker BWXT.

- What they said
- BWX Technologies reported a strong Q2 2026 with revenue of $902 million (up 18% YoY, 9% organic), adjusted EBITDA growth of 7% and adjusted EPS of $1.07 (up 5%). Management highlighted continued momentum in commercial nuclear and national security markets, a belief in a multi-decade secular growth cycle for nuclear, and strategic strengthening via the announced sale of the medical business (legacy BWXT medical and portions of Kinectrics stable isotope business) for $750M with potential upside to $800M. The company raised full-year free cash flow guidance by $30M to $345M–$360M, reaffirmed ~6% of sales capex for the year (with potential to approach 7% in future years), and signaled continued investment in U.S. commercial capacity. Segment commentary: Government Operations showed modest revenue growth and margin expansion driven by operational performance; Commercial Operations delivered robust growth but guidance for the segment was modestly lowered to reflect investments in U.S. commercial capacity. Management reiterated several potential demand drivers including SMR and large reactor opportunities (AP1000, X300, BWRX-300), naval shipbuilding cadence (Ford-class and potential battleship program), Project Janus (NNSA competition), TRISO fuel demand (early stage and uncertain), and possible expansion of enrichment capabilities. The company emphasized supply chain and labor management are currently stable, and highlighted M&A as a priority for redeploying divestiture proceeds.
- Guidance
- Raised full-year free cash flow guidance by $30M to $345M–$360M. Full-year capital expenditures expected at approximately 6% of sales with potential to approach 7% in future years as commercial capacity and advanced nuclear/fuel capabilities are expanded. Commercial operations guidance modestly lowered from ~14% to ~13% (context: segment growth and investments). No 2027 guidance provided; management expects to provide further detail later in the year. Other forward-looking items include continued pursuit of new reactor equipment orders (management expects at least one new order by year-end) and Project Janus award timing (expected later this year).
- Risks flagged
- Uncertainties remain around nascent markets (TRISO fuel demand and timing), outcome and timing of Project Janus (NNSA) and other government awards, the timing and scale of commercial reactor orders (utilities waiting on government SPV deals), potential variability in supply chain and skilled labor availability as demand surges, and commercial viability/cost implications of building fully U.S.-sourced enrichment plants. The medical business sale includes contingent economics to reach up to $800M and will result in a retained minority interest and ongoing services exposure. Standard forward-looking statement and SEC risk disclosures apply.
