By Connor Hart
Shares of Babcock & Wilcox climbed after the company signed an agreement with Siemens Energy, commencing work on 20 steam-turbine generator sets that will provide 1 gigawatt of capacity for data center projects.
The stock jumped 34%, to $11.91, in premarket trading Tuesday. Through Monday's close, shares are up 40% year to date.
B&W said before the bell that the agreement is in addition to its previously announced turbine order.
"As demand for dependable, large-scale power generation continues to accelerate, particularly from AI data center customers, we are strengthening our collaboration with Siemens Energy through this agreement," said Brandy Johnson, chief technology officer of B&W.
"With a strong pipeline of near-term data center and power generation opportunities, we are positioned to help customers accelerate project schedules while maintaining the reliability and performance they require," she added.
