Publicly traded on Nasdaq as XE since April 24, 2026
No US utility has ordered a newly designed commercial reactor and seen it come online since the 1970s. On April 24, 2026, the first company trying to break that drought rang the Nasdaq bell. X-energy priced its IPO at $23 a share ($4 above its marketed range) and raised $1.02 billion, the largest US nuclear public offering in years. Shares closed their first day up 27%, giving the company a market valuation of roughly $11.9 billion. The offering was oversubscribed more than 15 times.

Only two state projects currently meet the fund's requirement of having a construction permit application filed with federal regulators.
