Babcock & Wilcox looks less bullish because data-center margins have come in far below expectations and parts growth stalled. Revenue beat as the Base Electron contract ramped faster than projected, and another 1 GW data-center deal is close, with one or two more a good bet. But revenue rose almost $180M while EBITDA rose only about $8M, under 5% incremental margins, and Base Electron margins trail the 10-12% estimate. This may overreact to one quarter, but other ideas are less uncertain. x.comÂ
