, /PRNewswire/ -- Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (TSX: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF) ("Curaleaf" or the "Company"), a leading international provider of consumer cannabis products, today confirms that the previously announced 1-for-3 reverse stock split of its subordinate voting shares (the "Reverse Stock Split") will become effective on June 5, 2026.

Upon completion of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company's subordinate voting shares will continue to trade on the TSX under the symbol "CURA" and under the new CUSIP number 23126M300.

The Company will not be issuing fractional post-Reverse Stock Split subordinate voting shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Where the Reverse Stock Split would otherwise result in a shareholder being entitled to a fractional subordinate voting share, the number of post- Reverse Stock Split subordinate voting shares issued to such holder of subordinate voting shares shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number of subordinate voting shares.

The Company currently has 698,731,895 subordinate voting shares outstanding and, assuming no additional subordinate voting shares are issued prior to the Reverse Stock Split, the Reverse Stock Split will reduce the issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares to approximately 232,910,632 subordinate voting shares.

A letter of transmittal (a "Letter of Transmittal") with respect to the Reverse Stock Split has been mailed to registered shareholders of the Company. All registered shareholders will be required to deliver their certificate(s) or direct registration advice(s) representing pre-Reverse Stock Split subordinate voting shares along with a completed Letter of Transmittal to the Company's transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company ("Odyssey"), in accordance with the instructions provided in the Letter of Transmittal. Additional copies of the Letter of Transmittal can be obtained through Odyssey. All shareholders who submit a duly completed Letter of Transmittal along with their pre-Reverse Stock Split subordinate voting shares certificate(s) or direct registration advice(s) to Odyssey will receive a post-Reverse Stock Split subordinate voting share certificate or direct registration advice. Shareholders who hold their subordinate voting shares through a broker or other intermediary and do not have subordinate voting shares registered in their name will not need to complete a Letter of Transmittal. Beneficial shareholders who have questions regarding how their subordinate voting shares will be processed in connection with the Reverse Stock Split should contact their intermediaries.

As part of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company will also effect a concurrent consolidation of its multiple voting shares upon the same 1-for-3 consolidation ratio so as to maintain and preserve the relative rights of the holders of the shares of each class of shares of the Company.

Investors looking for stocks in the Transportation - Truck sector might want to consider either ArcBest (ARCB - Free Report) or Saia (SAIA - Free Report) . But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks? Let's take a closer look.

Everyone has their own methods for finding great value opportunities, but our model includes pairing an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system with a strong Zacks Rank. The proven Zacks Rank puts an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, while our Style Scores work to identify stocks with specific traits.

Right now, ArcBest is sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while Saia has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold). This system places an emphasis on companies that have seen positive earnings estimate revisions, so investors should feel comfortable knowing that ARCB is likely seeing its earnings outlook improve to a greater extent. However, value investors will care about much more than just this.

Value investors analyze a variety of traditional, tried-and-true metrics to help find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.

Our Value category highlights undervalued companies by looking at a variety of key metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, as well as the P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that have been used by value investors for years.

ARCB currently has a forward P/E ratio of 21.09, while SAIA has a forward P/E of 33.46. We also note that ARCB has a PEG ratio of 0.70. This popular figure is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also considers a company's expected EPS growth rate. SAIA currently has a PEG ratio of 1.91.

Another notable valuation metric for ARCB is its P/B ratio of 1.75. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock's market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, SAIA has a P/B of 3.66.

These metrics, and several others, help ARCB earn a Value grade of B, while SAIA has been given a Value grade of D.

ARCB is currently sporting an improving earnings outlook, which makes it stick out in our Zacks Rank model. And, based on the above valuation metrics, we feel that ARCB is likely the superior value option right now.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on flat revenues when Saia (SAIA - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on April 30, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis trucking company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.82 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -2.2%.

Revenues are expected to be $787.58 million, unchanged compared to the year-ago quarter..

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.16% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Saia?For Saia, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -0.06%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Saia will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Saia would post earnings of $1.9 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.77, delivering a surprise of -6.84%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Saia doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

An Industry Player's Expected ResultsAmong the stocks in the Zacks Transportation - Truck industry, ArcBest (ARCB - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $0.27 per share for the quarter ended March 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of -47.1%. This quarter's revenue is expected to be $993.63 million, up 2.8% from the year-ago quarter.

Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for ArcBest has been revised 0.5% down to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of -6.93%, reflecting a lower Most Accurate Estimate.

When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP makes it difficult to conclusively predict that ArcBest will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed EPS estimates just once.

Stay on top of upcoming earnings announcements with the Zacks Earnings Calendar.

Saia (SAIA - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.86 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.82 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.86 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +2.07%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this trucking company would post earnings of $1.9 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.77, delivering a surprise of -6.84%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

Saia, which belongs to the Zacks Transportation - Truck industry, posted revenues of $806.23 million for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.37%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $787.58 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Saia shares have added about 29.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 4.2%.

What's Next for Saia?While Saia has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Saia was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $2.91 on $875.87 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $10.60 on $3.41 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Transportation - Truck is currently in the bottom 38% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

One other stock from the broader Zacks Transportation sector, Pangaea Logistics (PANL - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026.

This maritime logistics company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.05 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +266.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Pangaea Logistics' revenues are expected to be $159.45 million, up 29.9% from the year-ago quarter.

On April 30, 2026, Saia Inc SAIA shares rose 6.3% today, currently trading at $448.82. The stock has experienced significant price movements over the past year, with a 52-week range between $229.17 and $454.88.

GF Value™ verdict indicates that the current price is $448.82, which is 5.2% above the estimated fair value of $426.65.GF Score™ of 98/100 suggests that the company has strong overall performance attributes.Notable insider activity shows that insiders sold $6.2 million worth of shares in the last three months, with no buying activity reported. Is SAIA Overvalued or Undervalued? According to the GF Value™, Saia Inc is currently overvalued, trading at a price of $448.82 which is 5.2% above its fair value estimate of $426.65. This indicates a lack of margin of safety for potential investors looking to enter the stock at its current price. The GF Valuation label indicates that the stock is fairly valued, but given its current price in relation to the GF Value™, there is a risk that it may be subject to corrections should market sentiments shift.

GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. When a stock is overvalued, it may not provide sufficient returns, and investors could face a downward adjustment if the market corrects itself or if the company does not meet growth expectations.

Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 47.1x 29.8x Forward P/E 42.3x N/A Saia Inc's current P/E (TTM) of 47.1x is significantly above its 5-year median P/E of 29.8x, indicating that the stock is trading at a higher valuation compared to its historical levels.

What Does SAIA's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 98 Financial Strength 8/10 Profitability 9/10 Growth 10/10 Valuation 9/10 Momentum 10/10 Saia Inc’s GF Score™ of 98/100 reflects exceptional performance across multiple dimensions, particularly in Growth (10/10) and Momentum (10/10), indicating strong revenue growth and price movement. The company also scores high in Profitability (9/10) and Valuation (9/10), which enhances its attractiveness to potential investors. However, the Financial Strength score of 8/10 suggests that while it is strong, it may have areas for improvement compared to peers.

What Are Insiders Doing with SAIA Stock? Insider activity in Saia Inc has shown a trend of selling, with insiders having sold $6.2 million worth of shares over the last three months. This level of selling without any buying may indicate a lack of confidence among insiders about the future performance of the stock. The absence of buying signals from insiders could be interpreted as a cautious approach to the stock’s current valuation and performance outlook.

What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ assessment, Saia Inc is currently overvalued at $448.82, which is 5.2% above its intrinsic value of $426.65. Investors may want to consider this valuation in their decision-making process.

“Our first quarter performance showcased substantial orders growth led by nuclear power demand and as-expected Adjusted EBITDA performance and margins,” commented Mirion’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Thomas Logan. “Record capital spending commitments by power plant operators are driving accelerating momentum in the sector, which is translating into significant Nuclear Power demand.”

Logan continued, “Our strong performance also reflects Paragon’s contributions in its first full quarter with Mirion. Paragon is the ‘tip of the spear’ for growing installed base dynamics. Integration is on-pace, and we are already realizing commercial synergies.”

2026 Guidance

Commenting on Mirion’s full year 2026 guidance, Logan said, “We remain on track for 2026 revenue growth, Organic Revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow guidance. Our business continues to capture momentum in Nuclear Power and Cancer Care markets. Additionally, we are bringing new products to market and enhancing our current offerings to meet customers where they are headed.”

Mirion reaffirmed 2026 total revenue growth, Organic Revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, while revising Adjusted EPS guidance to reflect the impact of a special one-time CEO retention grant of performance vesting stock options disclosed on April 13, 2026.

Revenue growth of approximately 22.0% – 24.0%; includes foreign exchange rate and acquisition-related tailwinds. Organic Revenue growth of approximately 5.0% – 7.0%. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately $285 million – $300 million; Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 25.0% – 26.0%. Adjusted Free Cash Flow of approximately $155 million – $175 million; Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion of approximately 54% – 58% of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EPS of approximately $0.48 – $0.55 per share (previously $0.50 - $0.57 per share); adjusted to reflect the impact of a special one-time CEO retention grant of performance vesting stock options disclosed on April 13, 2026. Additional modeling and guidance assumptions are included in the appendix of the earnings presentation on the Company’s investor relations page.

The Company’s guidance contains forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially as a result of known and unknown uncertainties and risks, including those set forth below under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements.” In addition, forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in projecting and quantifying the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliations, such as stock-based compensation expense, amortization and depreciation expense, merger and acquisition activity and purchase accounting adjustments, that have not yet occurred, are out of Mirion’s control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations of our guidance for Organic Revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow conversion are not available without unreasonable effort.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Organic revenues is defined as Revenues excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates as well as mergers, acquisitions and divestitures in the period.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization adjusted to remove the impact of foreign currency gains and losses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, changes in the fair value of warrants, certain non-operating expenses (restructuring and costs to achieve operational synergies, merger, acquisition and divestiture expenses and IT project implementation expenses), stock-based compensation expense, debt extinguishment and income tax impacts of these adjustments.

Key Takeaways BWX Technologies and Mirion are gaining from rising nuclear demand tied to AI-driven energy needs.BWXT is expanding via acquisitions and uranium enrichment plans to boost capacity and meet demand.Mirion posted strong Q1 growth and secured a role in NASA's Artemis II mission with radiation tech. Mirion Technologies (MIR - Free Report) and BWX Technologies (BWXT - Free Report) are drawing strong investor interest as nuclear energy gains momentum. The sector is increasingly in focus due to the rapid expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven data centers, which require large amounts of energy to operate. This growing power demand is positioning nuclear energy as one of the fastest-growing and most talked-about industries today.

Mirion focuses on radiation detection, measurement and monitoring solutions. It serves customers across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, with applications in healthcare, defense and nuclear safety.

BWX Technologies manufactures and supplies nuclear components and fuel. The company plays an important role in supporting both defense programs and commercial nuclear power projects in the United States, Canada and other international markets.

Both companies are benefiting from the growing focus on clean and reliable energy sources. However, they also face challenges such as regulatory requirements, project delays and cost pressures.

With this background, let’s take a closer look at their fundamentals, growth opportunities and key risks.

Tailwinds for MIRMIR is benefiting from strong operational performance and growing demand for its radiation safety solutions, which are supporting investor confidence. In April 2026, the company reported solid first-quarter results, with sales rising 27.5% year over year and adjusted earnings per share increasing 11.1%, reflecting steady business momentum.

In March 2026, Mirion highlighted a major milestone as its advanced radiation monitoring technology was selected for Artemis II. The company’s Crew Active Dosimeters (CAD) will be carried by astronauts during the mission, providing real-time radiation exposure data. This achievement underscores Mirion’s strong position in high-reliability applications, particularly in space and defense.

Artemis II, led by NASA, will be a roughly 10-day mission around the Moon and represents a key step in future deep-space exploration. Mirion’s involvement not only highlights the importance of its technology in ensuring astronaut safety but also strengthens its growth prospects in advanced and mission-critical environments.

Tailwinds for BWXTBWXT is benefiting from strategic expansion efforts and rising demand for nuclear energy, which are strengthening its long-term growth outlook. In April 2026, the company announced a definitive agreement to acquire Precision Components Group (“PCG”), including its subsidiaries Precision Custom Components (PCC) and DC Fabricators (DCF). This acquisition is expected to expand BWXT’s heavy manufacturing capabilities and increase its commercial nuclear production capacity in the United States, helping it better serve growing domestic demand.

In another key development in April, BWXT informed the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of its plans to apply for a uranium enrichment license. The proposed facility will be located near its Nuclear Fuel Services site in Erwin, TN, and is expected to support future fuel supply needs. The company plans to submit the license application in early 2027.

These initiatives highlight BWXT’s focus on expanding its capabilities and strengthening its position in the nuclear energy market, particularly as demand for reliable and clean energy continues to grow.

BWXT & MIR’s Return on Equity (ROE)ROE measures how efficiently a company is utilizing its shareholders’ funds to generate profits. BWXT’s current ROE is 30.94% compared with MIR’s 6.55%.

End NoteWhile both Mirion and BWX Technologies are well-positioned to benefit from rising demand for nuclear energy, the latter currently stands out in several key areas. The company has delivered a stronger stock price performance over the past year and continues to show solid profitability, supported by a higher return on equity and an improving earnings outlook.

BWXT is also actively expanding its capabilities through acquisitions and new facility plans, which could support long-term growth. Meanwhile, Mirion is showing steady operational momentum and remains well placed in niche, high-reliability markets like space and radiation safety.

Considering these factors, BWXT appears to be the stronger pick at the moment, although both companies offer exposure to the growing nuclear energy space.

Both BWXT and MIR currently carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

The nuclear industry has seen a recent flurry of announcements, headlined by two major industry partnerships to rapidly deploy new reactors. These exciting developments come against the backdrop of a new national poll showing increased positive sentiment towards nuclear energy. This all adds to the positive tailwinds for nuclear development in the U.S.

Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) and The Nuclear Company (TNC, private) have formed a new partnership to deploy Westinghouse AP1000 and AP300 reactors, while Blue Energy (private) has teamed with GE Vernova (GEV) to pioneer a gas-plus-nuclear hybrid approach. These developments arrive as a new Gallup poll revealed record public support for nuclear energy alongside declining enthusiasm for solar and wind. Together, the announcements highlight how private-sector execution expertise and innovative deployment models are translating policy momentum and shifting sentiment into tangible project progress.

The VettaFi Nuclear Renaissance Index (NUKZX) provides exposure to companies that will benefit from these tailwinds. The index includes key reactor technology owners, equipment providers, and service firms positioned to generate revenue from these projects. NUKZX serves as the underlying index for the Range Nuclear Renaissance Index ETF (NUKZ).

Brookfield and TNC Target Westinghouse Revival Brookfield, a global infrastructure investment firm with more than $1 trillion in assets under management, has partnered with TNC to create a new nuclear project execution company. TNC was founded by veterans of the Vogtle Units 3 and 4 project in Georgia, which were the last large reactors built in the U.S. The new entity will specialize in end-to-end project management, licensing support, engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning for Westinghouse’s AP1000 large reactors and the smaller AP300 design.

Dive deeper on Westinghouse’s reactor lineup

TNC looks to utilize the experience of their team from the previous AP1000 projects at the Vogtle nuclear plant to successfully deploy Westinghouse technology across the United States and abroad, starting with South Carolina. 

The partnership has already secured a lead role for the partially completed V.C. Summer AP1000 units in South Carolina. The project was previously abandoned due to significant cost overruns. Subject to due diligence, regulatory approvals, and a final investment decision, the new company will oversee completion of the two units.

This builds directly on the U.S. government’s $80 billion strategic partnership with Brookfield and Cameco (CCJ) to deploy AP1000 technology nationwide. Cameco holds a 49% stake in Westinghouse alongside Brookfield’s 51% ownership. The collaboration leverages TNC’s AI-driven system to deliver projects on predictable timelines and budgets.

Blue Energy and GE Vernova Introduce Gas-Plus-Nuclear Hybrid In parallel, Blue Energy and GE Vernova (GEV) announced a collaboration to build the world’s first gas-plus-nuclear power plant in Texas. The approach pairs GE Vernova’s industry-leading gas turbines for initial power generation with their BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) for long-term baseload output.

The hybrid model enables early site energization with approximately 1 gigawatt (GW) of gas-fired power as soon as 2030, followed by the switch to roughly 1.5 GW of nuclear capacity from an array of BWRX-300s as early as 2032. Initial site work is targeted for 2026, with a final investment decision and NRC construction permit application planned for 2027. The plant will supply a nearby data center campus, meeting surging electricity demand from artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing.

By using a natural-gas bridge and offsite prefabrication of modules, the partnership aims to cut time-to-power in half compared with traditional nuclear timelines while lowering capital costs and avoiding ratepayer burdens. GE Vernova’s BWRX-300 is one of the only SMRs currently under construction in the Western world, and this project further de-risks the technology through resequenced construction phases recently approved by the NRC.

Gallup Poll Reflects Shifting Public Sentiment A Gallup survey released in late April 2026 shows nuclear energy gaining ground with the American public. Support for greater emphasis on nuclear power reached 46%, its highest level in the 13 years Gallup has asked the question, and up seven points since 2021. Nuclear now holds a leading popularity among six major energy sources, including renewables.

By contrast, support for solar and wind dropped to their lowest levels in more than a decade. The narrower partisan divide on nuclear compared with renewables suggests growing bipartisan recognition of nuclear’s role in delivering reliable, dispatchable power. While some local opposition to nearby plants persists, the national trend points to stronger tailwinds for new nuclear development.

Clear Wins Across the NUKZX Value Chain These projects directly benefit NUKZX constituents already embedded in the nuclear supply chain.

Cameco stands to gain through its ownership in Westinghouse and its fuel supply capabilities. GE Vernova benefits as the technology provider for the Texas hybrid plant and as a leader in SMR commercialization.

Engineering, procurement, and construction firms such as Fluor (FLR) are well positioned for the complex project management and site work required. Component and systems providers including Curtiss-Wright (CW) and BWX Technologies (BWXT) supply critical pumps, valves, instrumentation, and fuel-related hardware essential to both large reactors and SMRs. Mirion Technologies (MIR) and other instrumentation specialists also stand to secure orders as construction ramps.

NUKZX includes companies across the full nuclear value chain, from fuel and components to engineering, construction, and utilities. For investors interested in the global growth opportunity for nuclear power, NUKZX offers a diversified group of companies positioned to benefit from the full spectrum of the nuclear renaissance.

Is MIR Overvalued or Undervalued? According to the GF Value™, Mirion Technologies Inc is currently significantly overvalued. The current share price of $18.35 is 40.4% higher than the estimated fair value of $13.07. This substantial premium raises concerns about the stock's margin of safety, suggesting that potential investors may be exposing themselves to heightened risk. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates.

The overvaluation indicates that investors are paying a premium for MIR shares, which may not be justified by the company’s current financial performance or growth prospects. As the market adjusts to reflect more realistic value estimates, there could be downward pressure on the stock price, thus cautioning potential investors against entering the stock at this inflated valuation.

How Does MIR's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 203.9x 226.4x Forward P/E 34.1x N/A The current P/E (TTM) of 203.9x is below its 5-year median P/E of 226.4x, indicating that the stock is trading at a relatively lower valuation compared to its historical levels. However, the forward P/E of 34.1x suggests a more optimistic outlook for future earnings, which may not fully align with the GF Value™ verdict. This analysis generally agrees with the GF Value™ assessment, confirming that despite a lower historical P/E, the stock remains overvalued based on intrinsic value calculations.

A month has gone by since the last earnings report for IonQ, Inc. (IONQ - Free Report) . Shares have added about 37.7% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.

Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is IonQ due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.

IONQ Q1 Earnings Miss & Revenue BeatIonQ posted an adjusted loss of 34 cents per share compared with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 26 cents. It delivered a negative earnings surprise of 44.8% for the quarter.  

Revenue Momentum Revenues totaled $64.7 million, up 755% year over year. The top line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 30.2%.

IONQ’s first-quarter revenue strength was supported by an expanding commercial footprint. Management said approximately 60% of revenues came from commercial customers, while international customers accounted for 35%.

The quarter also highlighted IonQ’s push beyond standalone computing. More than one-third of the top-line figure was generated from multi-product sales, reflecting traction across its platform that spans computing, networking, sensing and security.

Margin Gross profit was $15.41 million for the first quarter of 2026, up 374.2% from $3.25 million a year ago. Gross margin contracted 1,913 bps to 23.8%, caused by a 1,041.4% surge in the cost of revenues. 

Sales and marketing expense rose 241.9% year over year to $29.4 million. General and administrative expense increased 272.2% to $88.6 million, while research and development costs climbed 214.7% to $125.7 million.

IONQ reported an operating loss of $271.51 million, wider than the year-ago quarter’s $75.68 million loss.

Profitability Picture Remains Investment-HeavyDespite the top-line beat, profitability metrics reflected continued investment levels. IonQ reported an adjusted EBITDA loss of $96.8 million for the first quarter. Management noted that adjusted EBITDA included costs associated with its commercial relationship with SkyWater, while the transaction remains pending. Excluding the SkyWater spend, the adjusted EBITDA loss would have been $85.0 million.

Financial DetailsIonQ ended the first quarter with substantial financial flexibility. Cash, cash equivalents, and investments totaled $3.1 billion as of March 31, 2026, providing ample capacity to support manufacturing expansion, deployments, and continued R&D and go-to-market investment tied to its quantum platform strategy.

Cumulative net cash used in operating activities reached $151 million in the first quarter compared with $33 million in the year-ago period.

IONQ Raises 2026 Revenue ViewIONQ raised its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to a range of $260-$270 million (from $225-$245 million). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is currently pegged at $236.9 million. 

IonQ reaffirmed its full-year adjusted EBITDA loss guidance of ($330) million to ($310 million).

The company also provided a second-quarter 2026 revenue view of $65 million to $68 million as it heads into the next phase of platform execution and go-to-market scaling. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is currently pegged at $55.2 million.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?It turns out, fresh estimates have trended downward during the past month.

The consensus estimate has shifted -19.39% due to these changes.

VGM ScoresAt this time, IonQ has a poor Growth Score of F, however its Momentum Score is doing a lot better with a B. However, the stock has a grade of F on the value side, putting it in the fifth quintile for value investors.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of F. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. It's no surprise IonQ has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). We expect a below average return from the stock in the next few months.

Performance of an Industry PlayerIonQ is part of the Zacks Computer - Integrated Systems industry. Over the past month, IBM (IBM - Free Report) , a stock from the same industry, has gained 30.5%. The company reported its results for the quarter ended March 2026 more than a month ago.

IBM reported revenues of $15.92 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +9.5%. EPS of $1.91 for the same period compares with $1.60 a year ago.

For the current quarter, IBM is expected to post earnings of $2.95 per share, indicating a change of +5.4% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

IBM has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) based on the overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions. Additionally, the stock has a VGM Score of D.

The recommendations of Wall Street analysts are often relied on by investors when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock. Media reports about these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts changing their ratings often affect a stock's price. Do they really matter, though?

Let's take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about IonQ, Inc. (IONQ - Free Report) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage.

IonQ currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.58, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 12 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.58 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.

Of the 12 recommendations that derive the current ABR, eight are Strong Buy and one is Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 66.7% and 8.3% of all recommendations.

Brokerage Recommendation Trends for IONQ

The ABR suggests buying IonQ, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.

Are you wondering why? The vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover often results in a strong positive bias of their analysts in rating it. Our research shows that for every "Strong Sell" recommendation, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations.

In other words, their interests aren't always aligned with retail investors, rarely indicating where the price of a stock could actually be heading. Therefore, the best use of this information could be validating your own research or an indicator that has proven to be highly successful in predicting a stock's price movement.

Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock's price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision.

ABR Should Not Be Confused With Zacks RankIn spite of the fact that Zacks Rank and ABR both appear on a scale from 1 to 5, they are two completely different measures.

The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.

Analysts employed by brokerage firms have been and continue to be overly optimistic with their recommendations. Since the ratings issued by these analysts are more favorable than their research would support because of the vested interest of their employers, they mislead investors far more often than they guide.

In contrast, the Zacks Rank is driven by earnings estimate revisions. And near-term stock price movements are strongly correlated with trends in earnings estimate revisions, according to empirical research.

Furthermore, the different grades of the Zacks Rank are applied proportionately across all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide earnings estimates for the current year. In other words, at all times, this tool maintains a balance among the five ranks it assigns.

There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices.

Is IONQ Worth Investing In?Looking at the earnings estimate revisions for IonQ, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has declined 15.6% over the past month to -$1.04.

Analysts' growing pessimism over the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates lower, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to plunge in the near term.

The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for IonQ. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>

Therefore, it could be wise to take the Buy-equivalent ABR for IonQ with a grain of salt.

While many crave high-profile IPOs like SpaceX, Anthropic, or OpenAI, you'd be amazed at the gems you can find among smaller issues that came public in recent months. Infleqtion, which started trading in 2/26, is one such stock-market newbie. It's in quantum computing. It uses an approach called "neutral atoms." Philosophically, INFQ is similar to better-known IonQ. But INFQ's use of non-charged atoms, as opposed to IONQ's electrically charged ions, gives INFQ more flexibility.

At $56.69, IonQ (NYSE:IONQ | IONQ Price Prediction) looks fully valued, with a more compelling risk/reward setup emerging only at $50.00 or below.

Quantinuum (QNT 2.08%), formed from the merger of Honeywell's (HON +1.87%) quantum computing division and UK-based Cambridge Quantum, went public at $60 per share on June 4. But as of this writing, its stock trades at about $51. Let's see why this quantum stock fizzled out -- and if it's worth buying as the bulls look the other way.

What does Quantinuum do? Quantinuum, like its chief competitor IonQ (IONQ 0.09%), uses trapped-ion systems to power its quantum systems. Unlike older electron-driven systems, which require cryogenic refrigeration and exhibit high error rates, trapped-ion systems exhibit higher fidelity and don't require refrigeration.

Quantinuum and IonQ are scaling their trapped-ion systems in different ways. Quantinuum uses a "shuttling" system that moves individual ions through a grid, while IonQ connects multiple ions via quantum-entangled fiber-optic cables known as photonic links.

Both companies use their own proprietary metrics to gauge their quantum computing power, making direct comparisons difficult. They both market themselves as "full-stack" quantum computing companies that serve the software, hardware, and application markets.

However, Quantinuum tries to lock developers into its own ecosystem through TKET, its proprietary compiler. IonQ supports a wider range of open-source quantum frameworks.

Why isn't Quantinuum attracting much interest? In 2025, Quantinuum's revenue rose 34% to $30.9 million, but its net loss widened from $144.1 million to $192.6 million. Most of its revenue came from leases, which are highly concentrated and volatile (a single lease accounted for $16.5 million in revenue in 2025). The rest of its revenue mainly comes from its cloud-based quantum computing services.

Over the long term, Quantinuum expects to sell more quantum software to commercial customers in the cybersecurity, chemistry, and materials sciences markets. But at its current market cap of $14.3 billion, it trades at 463 times last year's sales. IonQ, which more than doubled its revenue to $269 million in 2025, is worth $21.2 billion -- or 79 times its trailing sales.

Quantinuum's sky-high valuation made it a tough stock to buy, especially when IonQ was bigger, growing faster, and locking in more high-profile contracts. The market's current obsession with upcoming IPOs such as SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI exacerbated that pressure.

Quantinuum recently drew significant attention when it secured up to $100 million in funding from the Department of Commerce as part of the CHIPS and Science Act. But for now, it's still a speculative quantum stock that simply isn't as attractive as IonQ or the other market leaders.

After a rough stretch, quantum computing stocks are hot once again. Though they've retreated somewhat in the last week, shares of IonQ (IONQ 0.09%), Rigetti Computing (RGTI +3.08%), and D-Wave Quantum (QBTS 1.09%) have gained 50% or more from the end of March.

So, what's going on? And is now the time to buy?

Quantum computing could prove revolutionary The computer or smartphone that you're likely reading this article on is a classical machine. Every piece of data that it stores and processes is held in binary bits, which can only have two states: 1 or 0. Quantum computers process information using qubits, which eventually land in one of those two states. But during the computational phase, qubits exist in a state of quantum superposition, in which their values are neither 1 nor 0, but probability amplitudes that can be positive or negative. This property allows them to perform calculations in a way that is entirely different from how traditional computers do, and could one day let these machines rapidly solve certain types of extremely complex problems that would take even today's best supercomputers thousands of years. 

And some of the applications could have major implications for cybersecurity and national defense.

The federal government is betting on this, and on May 21, the Department of Commerce announced it was distributing $2 billion in funding to the quantum industry that had been allocated under the CHIPS and Science Act. Nine companies -- including D-Wave and Rigetti -- will receive direct funds in exchange for equity stakes.

Though IonQ wasn't among that group, the news sent quantum computing stocks flying across the board. Bulls took it as proof positive that the technology is real and perhaps ready for prime time.

"Real" and "investable" may be a decade or more apart The truth might be more complicated. As it stands, quantum computing still has a long way to go before it matures into a stable, commercially viable technology.

I see this influx of federal investments as more a validation of the strategic importance of quantum computing than of the technology's maturation. Technology advances in fits and starts, and while there have been exciting developments in this one recently, the players involved are still a long way from turning it into a practical reality.

Many researchers in the field think that useful, fault-tolerant quantum computing at scale -- the kind that would justify the current market capitalizations of these quantum computing pure plays -- could be a decade or more away.

These stocks are about as speculative as it gets Even if I'm wrong on the timeline and commercially useful quantum computers are only a few years away, there's a second problem that has nothing to do with the science.

These three companies are some of the most speculative names in the entire market -- all of them trade at extreme valuations. With little revenue and no profits to anchor them, their share prices move almost entirely based on sentiment, which makes them violently sensitive to the mood of the broader market.

Check out their current valuations and basic financials.

When investors' spirits are high, money floods into exactly these kinds of "moonshot" stocks, but when the mood on Wall Street turns -- and it always turns eventually -- the most speculative names are the first ones sold and the hardest hit.

So in a real correction -- whether it's triggered by the AI trade unwinding, a plain old recession, or something else -- companies with steady earnings would take their lumps and move on. Speculative quantum computing names would get absolutely crushed.

The bottom line To be clear, I'm not betting against quantum computing itself. It may well turn out to be one of the defining technologies of the 21st century, and I'd be glad to be proven too cautious. But at today's prices, buyers of these stocks have to pay for optimistic outcomes that may be 10 or 20 years away -- if they come at all.

I wouldn't buy quantum computing pure-play stocks at these levels.
