X-Energy is trading at $18.15 (4.3% up), extending a sharp rebound that began in late July following news of its involvement in a DOE-backed AI-accelerated nuclear deployment initiative.
- Recent gains are supported by reports of Trump administration efforts to tap the company for powering AI data centers, which has provided a broad lift to nuclear stocks.
- The stock is moving in line with firm market sentiment and ongoing enthusiasm for nuclear-AI synergies as major indices trade higher on August 4, 2026.
