On September 10, X-Energy fell 5.11% in regular trading, trading at $16.34/share, with turnover of approximately $70.86 million. The decline extended losses from the prior session, during which the stock had already dropped nearly 10% on elevated volume.
On the news front, investment bank Piper Sandler initiated coverage of X-Energy with an Underweight rating and a $9 price target, implying roughly 45% downside from current levels. The target stands significantly below the analyst consensus mean price target of $34.38, according to FactSet, amplifying bearish sentiment and triggering sustained selling pressure across two consecutive sessions.
On the fundamental side, X-Energy reported Q2 revenue of $54.6 million, up sharply from $21.5 million a year ago and beating the consensus estimate, but posted an adjusted loss of $0.15 per share, missing expectations. The company has recently secured partnerships with Centrus Energy for HALEU supply, expanded its graphite supply chain with SGL Carbon, and extended its TRISO fuel research partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
X-Energy develops advanced small modular reactor technology and manufactures nuclear fuel, serving utility and industrial customers amid growing power demand driven by artificial intelligence and data center growth.
