X-Energy, Inc. is trading at $22.24 (up 5.4%), extending yesterday’s double-digit gains. - This follows reports from June 15 that Japan plans to invest as much as $62.3 billion into nuclear power projects, significantly boosting U.S. nuclear energy stocks, including X-Energy. - X-Energy's stock saw a 16% gain yesterday on this news, and investor sentiment continues to drive the stock higher today. - While the company also has recent regulatory milestones (UK GDA submission in early June and US NRC environmental finding in mid-May), the Japan investment appears to be the more immediate and significant catalyst for current market movement.
