3 Overlooked Nuclear Fuel Supply Chain Winners

Written by Nathan Reiff. Article Published: 4/26/2026.

The International Atomic Energy Agency recently raised its projections for global nuclear power capacity for a fifth straight year, and it now expects capacity to more than double by 2050. Even so, nuclear energy is still unfamiliar to many investors, making it easy to overlook the intricacies of the nuclear fuel supply chain, including mining, enrichment, fabrication, reactor operation, waste disposal, and more.

With nuclear power seeing growing demand for data center applications and other uses, companies operating as pick-and-shovel plays within the nuclear supply chain could be positioned to benefit in a big way. Investors can therefore look beyond pure-play mining firms for an innovative approach to the nuclear energy space.

Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE: LEU) provides nuclear fuel enrichment services and is, in fact, the only American firm licensed to produce high-assay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU). This type of highly energy-dense uranium is vital for fueling many types of nuclear reactors—meaning that Centrus effectively has a monopoly on a critical corner of the market.

This advantageous position has led to significant wins for Centrus in recent quarters. Late in 2025, for example, the company won a $900 million HALEU enrichment award from the Department of Energy. Structured as a procurement contract, the award will help Centrus increase its HALEU production capacity. All of this has led to strong finances for Centrus. In 2025, revenue climbed to nearly $449 million, while backlog reached $3.8 billion, extending to 2040.

Although LEU shares have nearly tripled in price over the last year, they are down fairly sharply this year, having fallen by about 10% year-to-date. Part of this has to do with several precarious elements of its business, including its reliance on Russian supplies and rapidly rising capital expenditures. Still, half of the analysts rating LEU view the stock as a Buy, and the consensus price target suggests nearly 25% upside potential may be in store.

Low-Cost In-Situ Production Gives Uranium Energy Corp. a Margin Edge

When it comes to uranium mining firms, Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSEAMERICAN: UEC) stands out as a key—but often overlooked—domestic producer of yellowcake, the uranium concentrate that represents an intermediate step in uranium processing. In its latest quarter, Uranium Energy produced nearly 45,800 pounds of the substance.

What makes Uranium Energy important for investors to know is that its in-situ recovery process keeps costs quite low. During the same period, the cash cost to the firm was only about $40 per pound of yellowcake. It also sold roughly 200,000 pounds of yellowcake for more than $100 per pound, leading to $20 million in revenue and about half that much in gross profit.

Low-cost production has helped Uranium Energy build a solid cash position of more than $800 million as of the latest earnings report and has kept it debt-free in the process. With nearly 1.5 million pounds of yellowcake inventory on hand, the company is well-positioned to continue supplying these raw materials to nuclear energy firms across the production cycle for the foreseeable future. This may be why, despite also tripling over the last year, shares of UEC are projected to continue rising by about 16%.

Rapid Medical Industry Growth Fuels BWX's Expansion

BWX Technologies Inc. (NYSE: BWXT) is a provider of nuclear components and services, with a particular focus on propulsion systems for naval nuclear reactors. The company has a niche focus on the defense industry, but it also produces small modular reactors and components for non-defense uses, including the medical industry.

BWX's multi-sector approach has paid off well—last quarter, the company closed 2025 with revenue up 18% year over year and earnings per share up 20%. Free cash flow and adjusted EBITDA also climbed thanks to strong commercial operations. In particular, the company's medical segment reached $100 million in annual revenue. This makes BWX an appealing nuclear energy play for investors keen to explore beyond the data center application.

Acquisitions and new facilities are helping BWX expand rapidly, and the company has been able to do so without jeopardizing its financial position. Indeed, it reduced interest costs and increased its liquidity to $1.7 billion by the end of 2025. On top of all this, BWX also offers investors a modest dividend bonus. Analysts are strongly bullish on BWXT, as more than two-thirds of those rating the stock have called it a Buy or equivalent.
