3 Recent M&A Deals in the Nuclear Sector
Three holdings in the Range Nuclear Renaissance ETF (NUKZ ) have completed acquisitions of private supply chain companies to bolster their operations during the ongoing nuclear renaissance.
First, BWX Technologies (BWXT) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Precision Components Group (PCG). The strategic transaction adds more than 500,000 square feet of complex, heavy-walled and heat-transfer component capacity in the U.S. PCG generated approximately $125 million in revenue in 2025, providing BWXT with immediate commercial nuclear footprint expansion.
Next, Nano Nuclear Energy (NNE) has expanded its infrastructure footprint by acquiring Secured Transportation Services (STS). This acquisition ensures the microreactor developer controls the highly regulated logistics and transport mechanisms required for nuclear fuel and materials.
Finally, just this week, Oklo (OKLO) announced its acquisition of ARMEC, a precision manufacturing and mechanical engineering firm. The free-cash-flow-positive target company brings over two decades of operating experience in high-precision machining and prototyping. The integration directly aims to support faster design-to-manufacturing feedback for Oklo’s advanced reactor and fuel fabrication programs.
