Nuclear power is back in the spotlight. Here are two stocks that could reward patient investors over the next five years.
Nuclear energy is having a genuine renaissance, and if you're not paying attention, you're already behind. Power demand from AI data centers, electric vehicles, and reshoring manufacturing is straining the grid — and utilities are turning back to nuclear as the only always-on clean energy source that can actually scale.
The setup for nuclear stocks is unusually strong right now. Governments across the US and Europe are extending reactor lifetimes, approving new builds, and funding advanced reactor programs.
