What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of BWXT's valuation, growth and risks.
Against the 34.0 median P/E of Industrials stocks, BWXT's P/E of 33.99 is level with that median, which counts as broadly in line with peers. Measured against sales, the P/S of 3.42 is 14.5% below the sector median of 4.0. For scale, BWXT carries a market value of $12.0B and trailing earnings of $3.86 a share.
Revenue grew 18.00% in the latest quarter year on year, which is 6.3 percentage points ahead of the 11.7% median for Industrials. Profitability shows a net margin of 10.11% and an operating margin of 10.39%. Shareholders' capital earns 28.29%, above the sector median of 17.8%, measured as return on equity. It also reports debt-to-equity of 1.51 and a trailing dividend yield of 0.81% ($1.06 a share a year).
In its most recent report, on August 3, 2026, BWXT posted EPS of $1.07 versus the $1.04 analysts expected, topping the estimate by 2.88%. The market reacted the other way, with the stock falling 0.80% the following session.
The record is a clean sweep: 6 beats in 6 reports, though the stock still fell in the first session after 3 of those 6 beats. Earlier, the stock rose 17.79% after the August 4, 2025 report, a beat of 29.11%. The consensus EPS estimate stands at $4.74 for this fiscal year and $5.23 for next, growth of 18.3% for the current year.
BWXT's price typically moves 2.39% on a given day, based on the 30-day standard deviation of its daily returns, and its beta against the S&P 500 is 0.74. Staying under both moving averages keeps the downtrend a live risk. The stock is also 45.74% below its 52-week high of $241.82.

Earnings beat, but the stock fell ›
The August 3, 2026 report beat the EPS estimate by 2.88%, and the share price fell 0.80% in the first session after it.
Source: Earnings report, August 3, 2026
- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 20-day EMA at $136.61, which sits above the price, and the 52-week low at $123.05, which sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI is 38.8, within the bearish zone, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 would signal stretched momentum.
- The share price dropped 0.80% in the first session after the August 3, 2026 report, even though BWXT has beaten estimates in 6 of the 6 reports in our data.
BWXT remains in a downtrend while it trades below both its 50-day average of $145.88 and its 200-day average of $186.29. A close back above the 50-day average would be the first sign of repair. Overhead, the 20-day EMA at $136.61 is the nearest hurdle.
Below the price, the next level to watch is the 52-week low at $123.05. The RSI is in the bearish zone, which makes a fast rebound less likely.

Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in BWXT, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in BWXT today could grow to about $13,965 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $31,638 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $6,165. The simulation models price only; at today's 0.81% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
BWXT Stock Price Prediction 2030: Simulated Scenarios
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $183 for BWXT by 2030 in the base case, from $131 today (1.4x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $80.88. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on BWXT's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
