Is X-Energy Building a New Model for Industrial Nuclear Power?

X-Energy's Xe-100 high-temperature gas-cooled reactor has been accepted into the U.K.'s Generic Design Assessment process through its partnership with Centrica. The companies plan to deploy up to 6 GW of nuclear capacity in the U.K., with a potential pipeline of 144 reactors across multiple customers. However, X-Energy stock is trading at a premium valuation and has underperformed its industry peers recently, earning a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) rating.
