"BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:BWXT) is a near monopoly supplier of critical reactor components for the U.S. nuclear submarine fleet. It holds the only NRC Class 1 license to handle highly enriched uranium. Levering their competency in nuclear propulsion, it has become a supplier to the global commercial nuclear reactor base and possesses a scaling medical isotope business. The criticality of its products, entrenched customer relationships, long-term contracts, recurring revenue base and emerging business lines should drive several years of solid revenue growth against declining capital intensity to produce solid free cash flow generation in an uncertain world."
