United States Representative April McClain Delaney has disclosed purchases of shares in BWX Technologies (NYSE: BWXT), a major supplier of nuclear reactors and components to the U.S. Navy.
The trade is of interest as the company has close ties to national defense and the nuclear sector.
According to the filing, Delaney purchased between $1,001 and $15,000 worth of BWX Technologies on May 14, 2026. The transaction was disclosed on June 5, nearly three weeks after the trade occurred.
Data from congressional trading trackers indicates the lawmaker has reported multiple purchases that could total as much as $130,000 in BWXT stock. Since the transaction, BWXT stock has plunged over 11%, trading at $188, underperforming the broader market over the same period.
Despite the recent decline, BWXT remains up roughly 40% over the past year and continues to trade near the middle of its 52-week range of $127.51 to $241.82.
The Maryland Democrat serves on the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, a position that has prompted scrutiny of investments tied to industries affected by federal policy and government spending.
