Babcock & Wilcox earnings and AI power demand

Overview

Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises reported second-quarter financial results that exceeded analyst expectations, resulting in an 8% increase in its stock price. The company reported revenue of $319.7 million, a 130% year-over-year increase, and a net income of $14.3 million, marking a significant improvement from the previous year’s loss of $0.63 per share.

CEO Kenneth Young attributed this growth to rising demand for reliable electricity from utilities, industrial customers, and artificial intelligence data centers. To meet these requirements, the company announced plans to purchase 20 steam turbine generator sets from Siemens to generate 1 gigawatt of electricity for its AI data center clients. Following these results, the company raised its full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA target range to between $80 million and $105 million, maintaining a backlog of $2.6 billion.
