On August 20, X-Energy fell 5.54% in regular trading, trading at $18.75/share, with turnover of $6.56 million. The decline was driven by continued fallout from the company's Q2 earnings miss and broad weakness across the heavy electrical equipment sector.

X-Energy reported Q2 revenue of $54.6 million, up 154% year-over-year and beating analyst estimates. However, the company posted a per-share loss of $0.21, significantly worse than the consensus estimate of a $0.12 loss, representing a miss of approximately 91%. The widening gap between strong top-line growth and deeper-than-expected losses has raised market concerns over escalating operational costs, with the stock under sustained pressure since the August 13 earnings release.

The broader Heavy Electrical Equipment sector saw widespread declines, with NuScale Power down 4.63%, Bloom Energy down 3.61%, Brenmiller Energy down 2.36%, Forgent Power Solutions down 2.15%, and GE Vernova down 1.86%, amplifying selling pressure on individual names including X-Energy.
