The company plans to issue 42.9 million shares of stock at a price range of $16 to $19 per share, raising $750 million.

The company is focused on developing scalable nuclear systems to meet the growing demand for electricity, including the power needs of high-energy consumption applications such as data centers. The company, headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, was founded in 2009. In the twelve months ending on December 31, 2025, the company reported revenue of $1.09 billion. X-Energy plans to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "XE". J.P.

Pricing is expected to occur on April 20, 2026. It is worth noting that this IPO comes at a time when the United States is experiencing a new "nuclear renaissance". In 2025, e-commerce giant Amazon.com, Inc. led a $700 million private financing round for X-Energy and established a strategic partnership with them, aiming to collectively deploy over 5GW of new nuclear capacity by 2039.
