BWX Technologies stock (ISIN US05605H1005) closed at USD 147.12 on the NYSE on September 21, 2026, down 0.27 percent from the prior close. The latest contract milestone is a USD 4 million design award for a new lithium processing facility at the Y-12 National Security Complex.

Y-12 contract starts at USD 4 million

According to Yahoo Finance on September 22, 2026, BWXT received an initial USD 4 million design contract from the National Nuclear Security Administration for a lithium processing facility at the Y-12 National Security Complex. BWXT was selected to develop the conceptual design of the first module, making the award an early-stage engineering milestone rather than a full construction contract.

The contract gives the company a defined role in a US nuclear-security project, while the USD 4 million value provides a measurable starting point for any later construction opportunity. The distinction matters because the current award covers design work, not the value of a completed facility.

Quarterly revenue rose 18 percent

BWXT reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 901.62 million, according to MarketBeat on September 21, 2026. Revenue increased 18.0 percent from the same quarter of the prior year, while earnings per share reached USD 1.07 versus analyst consensus of USD 1.04.

The comparison shows that the recent operating picture combines double-digit sales growth with a USD 0.03 per-share earnings beat in the second quarter of 2026. BWXT also set fiscal-year 2026 earnings guidance at USD 4.70 to USD 4.80 per share, while the cited analyst forecast was USD 4.75.

Stock remains below its yearly high

MarketBeat data showed a September 21, 2026 52-week range of USD 144.33 to USD 241.82, with volume of 962,856 shares. At USD 147.12, the stock closed USD 94.70 below the 52-week high and USD 2.79 above the 52-week low.

The market snapshot also placed BWXT's market capitalization at USD 13.51 billion on September 21, 2026. The combination of an 18.0 percent quarterly revenue increase, fiscal-year earnings guidance of USD 4.70 to USD 4.80, and a stock price near the lower end of its 52-week range leaves operating execution and contract conversion as the key measurable reference points.
