Nuclear gets another chance

Reliable nuclear power will become more valuable.

What’s inside

• CEG Constellation Energy: Largest US nuclear operator; Google and Amazon deals fund uprates across 11 units
• VST Vistra: 20-year PJM nuclear PPAs with Meta plus uprates turn its reactors into contracted cash flow
• SO Southern Company: Vogtle owner; struck a deal with Google to boost nuclear capacity in Georgia
• CCJ Cameco: Uranium supply and fuel services are the chokepoint if reactor count rises as expected
• BWXT BWX Technologies: Nuclear components and SMR manufacturing capacity are scarce in the US supply chain
• GEV GE Vernova: Supplies turbines, grid kit and reactor designs behind both nuclear and firm backup power
• PWR Quanta Services: Builds the transmission needed to move uprated nuclear output to data centers
• ETN Eaton: Electrical gear sits between every new reactor or uprate and the load it serves
• VRT Vertiv: Power and cooling inside the data centers whose demand makes reliable nuclear valuable
• XLU Utilities Select Sector SPDR: Broad utility sleeve keeps the basket anchored to rising, reliable power demand
• NRG NRG Energy: Dispatchable generation captures the scarcity premium while new nuclear is still licensing

Why it could work

Reliable nuclear power will become more valuable. The basket combines direct participants and broader suppliers.

What could break it

Adoption could disappoint, competition could weaken margins, or high valuations could already price in the trend. Some holdings are broad, indirect proxies.
