On August 15, X-Energy declined 9.08% in regular trading, trading at $20.66 per share, with turnover of $70.33 million. The selloff follows the company's Q2 earnings report released on August 13, where a wider-than-expected loss overshadowed strong top-line growth.

X-Energy reported Q2 revenue of $54.6 million, up 154% year-over-year from $21.5 million, handily beating analyst estimates of $41.6 million to $47.4 million. However, the company posted an adjusted loss of $0.15 per share and a GAAP loss of $0.21 per share, significantly worse than the consensus estimate of a $0.11 to $0.12 loss — a miss of approximately 91%. The widening loss has raised investor concerns about escalating operating costs as the company ramps its advanced nuclear reactor and TRISO fuel programs.

Despite recent positive developments including a HALEU supply deal with Centrus Energy, an extended fuel research partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and up to $21.5 billion in public funding for its Dow Chemical project in Texas, the earnings miss has weighed heavily on sentiment in the near term.
