BWX Technologies to Report Q3 Results: What's in Store for the Stock?

BWX Technologies, Inc. BWXT is scheduled to report third-quarter 2025 results on Nov. 3, 2025, after market close. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 29.11% in the last reported quarter.

Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Factors Likely to Affect BWXT’s Q3 Results

Higher uranium processing, downblending operations and manufacturing volume of nuclear components for U.S. government programs are likely to have bolstered the overall top-line performance of BWXT’s Government Operations segment in the third quarter. Positive synergies from the acquisition of A.O.T. are expected to have also contributed favorably to this unit’s revenues.

Higher revenues related to components manufacturing are expected to have bolstered the top-line performance of its Commercial Operations segment. Contributions from the Kinectrics acquisition are also likely to have boosted this unit’s revenues.

However, rising labor costs and a shift in the business mix toward less mature, lower-margin programs are likely to have negatively impacted the company’s bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter.
