Jim Cramer Weighs In on BWX Technologies After 27% Pullback

BWX Technologies (NYSE:BWXT) has seen a 27% drop over three months, partly due to weaker-than-expected quarterly results. Jim Cramer discussed the stock's volatility, noting a recent analyst meeting with bullish long-term targets for 2030. The company plans to sell a majority stake in its medical isotope unit for up to $800 million, reallocating funds to nuclear manufacturing. BWXT projects 2030 revenues of $5.5B-$6B with EBITDA margins expanding to 20%.
