X-Energy is trading 4.42% up now at $22.12 after announcing a definitive enrichment-services agreement with Centrus Energy on August 6, 2026.
- The contract covers LEU and HALEU quantities expected to support initial Xe-100 reactor deployments and TRISO-X fuel production.
- X-Energy prepayments support Centrus’s domestic enrichment capacity program, reducing fuel-supply and execution uncertainty for planned deployments.
- Broader futures were also higher August 7, 2026, but the company-specific contract is the clearest catalyst.
