A Yahoo Finance analysis article points out that NuScale's stock price has fallen from its all-time high of $53.43 in October 2025 to approximately $10. This is due to the cancellation of its flagship U.S. commercial deployment project in 2023, the postponement of its Romanian project from 2030 to 2033, significant company losses, and major shareholder Fluor liquidating its holdings. Analysts expect NuScale's 2026 revenue to decline by 21% to $25 million, with a net loss of $181 million, and its current price-to-sales ratio is as high as 169x.

In contrast, BWX Technologies (BWXT), as a leading North American manufacturer of specialized nuclear components, fuel systems, and naval reactor systems, benefits from scale and diversification, with stable revenue and profits. Its backlog of orders reached $7.3 billion by the end of 2025, a 50% increase from the previous year. Analysts project BWXT's revenue and earnings per share (EPS) compound annual growth rates (CAGR) to be 12% and 16% respectively from 2025 to 2028. The article suggests that BWXT is a safer choice in the nuclear energy market.
