Hold

Reason

Deutsche Bank downgraded BWX Technologies to Hold from Buy with a price target of $150, up from $119. The firm's new price target attempts to better capture the long-term value from new build commercial nuclear. However, even with the increased target, Deutsche Bank does not see upside beyond BWX's current share levels. As such, it is not confident in the company's current multiple of 50-times free cash flow on 2025 estimates.

Reason

William Blair initiated coverage of BWX Technologies with an Outperform rating and no price target. BWX has a "robust position" in the commercial nuclear supply chain, especially Canada's home-grown CANDU reactor fleet, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says that while the company is mostly known as the U.S. Navy's sole nuclear reactor supplier, it has the expertise and capital to expand its commercial nuclear power business, including CANDU and small modular reactors. Blair believes BWX "will be a large beneficiary of the nuclear renaissance."
