Latest quarter
BWXT reported Q2 FY2026 revenue of $901.6 million, above the consensus estimate of $891.8 million. Adjusted earnings per share were $1.07, also above the consensus of $1.01.
Revenue rose 18.0% from $764.0 million a year earlier. The company’s filing attributed the increase primarily to Commercial Operations, where the Kinectrics acquisition and higher revenue from inspection, maintenance and other services contributed to growth. Government Operations revenue rose to $601.3 million, principally because of contributions from enrichment operations.
The filing said Commercial Operations operating income increased, while Government Operations operating income declined in part because the prior-year quarter benefited from contract adjustments. BWXT’s gross margin fell to 22.4% from 25.1%, and its operating margin declined to 12.7% from 13.4%. Diluted earnings per share rose to $0.97 from $0.85. Free cash flow was $115.0 million, down from $126.3 million a year earlier.
