3 Nuclear Energy Stocks to Buy Before 2026 Ends
Three ways to play the nuclear power renaissance that's taking shape the world over to meet rising electricity demand.
Overview
There are 417 operating nuclear reactors worldwide, with another 77 currently under construction. Rising electricity demand is driving the construction of new reactors, with the U.S. alone expected to see a 6x increase in power demand growth between 2025 and 2045. Global electricity demand is coming from nations that are moving up the socioeconomic ladder and from modern technologies, such as artificial intelligence and the electrification of products once powered by fossil fuels (cars and lawn equipment, among other things).
This could be a long-term investment opportunity for those who believe nuclear power will be a key part of the solution to meeting rising electricity demand. Here are three ways to get involved in the nuclear renaissance in 2026: Cameco (NYSE: CCJ), Brookfield Renewable (NYSE: BEP)(NYSE: BEPC), and, for more aggressive investors, NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR).
