The Top 2 Nuclear Energy Stocks to Buy Right Now
2026-05-20 17:20:00 ET
The nuclear energy market cooled for roughly a decade after the Fukushima disaster in 2011, prompting many countries to pause their nuclear projects. But over the past few years, new decarbonization initiatives, safer nuclear reactors, and the expansion of the AI, cloud , and data center markets have driven more companies to restart their nuclear energy projects.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the world's nuclear capacity could increase by more than 50% from 2025 to 2050. To capitalize on that trend, investors should look for nuclear companies that control crucial parts of the global nuclear energy supply chain. Two of those companies are Cameco (NYSE: CCJ) and BWX Technologies (NYSE: BWXT) .
