X-Energy Inc. is a leading developer of small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) and specialized nuclear fuel, aiming to revolutionize the clean energy sector. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, the company focuses on providing scalable, carbon-free energy solutions that can support both electricity generation and high-temperature industrial heat applications. The company's flagship technology is the Xe-100, a pebble-bed high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR). The Xe-100 is designed to be 'walk-away safe,' utilizing inherent safety features that allow the reactor to shut down and cool itself naturally without operator intervention or external power during an emergency. Each reactor module is designed to produce 80 megawatts of electricity (MWe), and they are intended to be deployed in four-unit 'packs' to create a 320 MWe power plant. In addition to reactor design, X-energy is a pioneer in nuclear fuel through its TRISO-X subsidiary. The company manufactures TRISO (TRi-structural ISOtropic) fuel particles, which consist of a kernel of enriched uranium encased in multiple layers of ceramic and carbon materials. This design prevents the release of radioactive fission products under even the most extreme conditions. X-energy is currently developing the first commercial-scale TRISO-X fuel fabrication facility in the United States to support its reactors and other advanced nuclear designs. X-energy has received significant backing from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP). The company has also established strategic partnerships with major industrial entities, such as Dow Inc., to deploy SMR technology at industrial sites for decarbonization. As a key player in the next generation of nuclear power, X-energy is positioned to address the global demand for reliable, zero-emission baseload power.
The sum of declared dividends issued by a company for every ordinary share outstanding.
Dividend Yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price in the last twelve months. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is the return on investment for a stock.
It is another way that companies have to remunerate their shareholders, being an alternative to dividends. Shows the % of repurchases per share made in the last 12 months in relation to the share price.
Sum of Dividend Yield and BuyBack Yield to show the total return that the shareholder received in the last 12 months in relation to the share price.
The dividend payout ratio is the ratio of the total amount of dividends paid out to shareholders relative to the net income of the company. It is the percentage of earnings paid to shareholders via dividends.
Retained earnings (RE) are the amount of net income left over for the business after it has paid out dividends to its shareholders and are an important variable for assessing a company's financial health because it shows the net income that a company has saved over time, and therefore has the ability to reinvest in the business or distribute to shareholders.
