X-Energy is trading at $20.28, up +6.13%, amid elevated options activity; no new company-specific announcement on August 26, 2026 was identified to directly explain the gain.
- Activity remains elevated following options positioning around the $20 September straddle, with reported volume exceeding 30,000 contracts on August 25, 2026.
- Second-quarter revenue and grant income were $54.6 million, but that earlier report does not establish today’s move.
