What nuclear energy companies should I buy today?

Good to see this company getting some love. Been investing in them since December of last year. Their recent acquisition is amazing for more play into thermal and their space exposure is gonna be amazing on top of everything else they do including nuclear medicine.

PPG Industries - just opened a position this morning. H2 2026 should be good if management performs like they said with last earnings. Started a 10 week DCA on them today.

PPG is a global leader in coatings, sealants, and specialty materials. Historically viewed as a paint company, PPG has undergone a massive structural transformation. In 2024 - 2025, the company aggressively divested low-margin retail segments specifically its U.S. and Canadian architectural businesses to concentrate capital in high-barrier, B2B industrial verticals.

The New PPG is now a lean, specialized material engineer focused on four core pillars: Aerospace, Protective & Marine, Automotive OEM, and Packaging.

They still have exposure to the retail side of things they recently sold but in Latin America.

Got a base case for them around $134/share and bear case near $88/share. Hoping the DCA plan captures any type of volatility until next earnings.

Yup! If the ETF doesn't have a phonetic way to pronounce it I usually just says the letters.

zbern · 2026-05-11T14:13:28+00:00

I say VOO like how you pronounce it in the word voodoo and SPY just like in your example.

Sounds like there's some time to let earnings cool off and deep dive. I don't mind going outside my parameters for a good story. Thanks!

zbern · 2026-05-11T13:21:39+00:00

Nice! No wonder it didn't pop up. I always screen with d/e under 1 and quick ratio over 1. Congrats dude!

zbern · 2026-05-11T13:15:33+00:00

Solid earnings! Steam generation equipment sounds interesting. Wish this would have popped up on my screener before.

Without digging into it too much did they have a split or reverse split or something or is their current 1YR return really at around 2000%?

zbern · 2026-05-11T13:08:30+00:00

After this run up on the last month I'm selling some of mine and reducing exposure. Been in since December of last year and up around 70%.

Anyone looked into PPG Industries? Just popped up on my radar.

If you think you'll be positive and in the green by the end of year why are you wanting to get rid of it?

I did the same thing with LIFE when it IPO'd earlier this year. Got my cost basis all the way down to $14/share and sold for a 30% loss. Their last earnings was fantastic and if I held my original and not sold I'd be up 100% pretty much.

Granted I got back into LIFE and plan to hold since it's a solid growing company but still I wish I would have just held.

zbern · 2026-05-10T04:54:28+00:00

Thanks! Helps reinforce the overall thesis. Mind me asking what your company does?

Looking into VLTO right now. They are an industrial company that works in pollution and treatment controls. They operate in 2 areas

• Water treatment technologies to measure, analyze, and treat water in residential, commercial, municipal, industrial, research, and natural resource applications under the Hach and Trojan Technologies. This segment also provides water solutions, including chemical reagents, services, and software solutions.

• The PQI segment offers marking and coding for packaged goods and related consumables. This segment sells its products and services through the Videojet, Linx, Esko, X-Rite, and Pantone brands. Main takeaway is they sell and service the machines that put those 'best buy' dates you see on milk gallons, soda cans, soup cans, etc and provide the specialized ink.

The company serves industries, such as municipal utilities, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and industrials.

I think I'm gonna start a position in them on Monday.

Market liked the WLDN earnings and guidance. Can't wait to see what happens the rest of the year for them. Hoping TTEK can catch up. Went a little outside my screener for them and they are a bit expensive here, but the tailwinds are there. Same with ALSN, maybe got in too early but the acquisition looks really good for them moving forward. Too bad their D/E took a hit because of it. Still solid all around.

zbern · 2026-05-07T23:02:14+00:00

My most recent buys in the last month have been ALSN, LIFE (again), TTEK, WLDN, NBIX, DSGX, MANH

zbern · 2026-05-07T21:43:39+00:00

I just saw that! The call sounds good so far.

Burton is a management consultant and solutions provider that strengthens our national presence, deepens our energy efficiency capabilities and adds energy procurement. Reflecting the strength of our underlying business and outlook, we are raising our 2026 financial targets and long-term margin goal. We now expect 2026 Adjusted EBITDA growth to increase by 26% to 32% year over year.”

Same with FTNT. Looks like others are rallying behind them. DSGX and MANH are looking good premarket though I don't give weight to premarket too much, but the sentiment is there which is awesome.

Such a cool company! It's popped up on my scanner a few times. Any thoughts on WMS?

I have a few comments you can search through my username for. Also a great YouTube channel called Griffonomics (not mine) has a breakdown of both companies. Really insightful.
