Superinvestors (SEC 13F-HR, Q2 2026) (BWXT)

Insider sales (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (BWXT)
2 of 3 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (scheduled in advance). Unplanned sales were timed by the insider.
| Trade date | Insider | Role | Shares | Value | % of holdings sold | 10b5-1 plan | Insider type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-12 | Geveden Rex D | President and CEO | 10,000 | $1.7M | 4.9% | Yes | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023 or 2024) |
| 2026-05-12 | Geveden Rex D | President and CEO | 10,000 | $2.0M | 4.7% | Yes | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023 or 2024) |
| 2026-05-11 | Fitzgerald Michael Thomas | SVP & Chief Financial Officer | 2,417 | $506K | 26% | No | Too little history (no open-market trades in 2023–2025) |
% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).
Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.

From BWX Technologies, Inc.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-02-23)
Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)
- Kinectrics is a leader in providing lifecycle management services for the global nuclear power and transmission and distribution markets, and in the production and supply of isotopes for the radiopharmaceutical industry which will enable us to expand our portfolio of products and services in the global nuclear and nuclear medicine markets.
Partnerships
- The MOU was modified in late 2014 to add the DOE and the NNSA as parties to deal with "special nuclear materials." In December 2014, the Army Corps issued a Proposed Record of Decision Amendment, which reflects a revised cost estimate of $350 million, in addition to the $62 million expended through September 2014, to implement the selected remedy.
Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)
- Our business may be adversely affected by the outcome of legal proceedings, investigations, disputes and other contingencies that cannot be predicted with certainty.
- The Price-Anderson Act and Canada's NLCA indemnification provisions may not apply to all liabilities that we might incur while performing services as a contractor for the DOE and the nuclear power industry.
- Our operations involve the handling, transportation and disposal of radioactive and hazardous materials, and environmental laws and regulations and civil liability for contamination of the environment or related personal injuries may result in increases in our operating costs and capital expenditures and decreases in our earnings and cash flows.
