Wall Street is paying attention because she sits on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee.BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:BWXT) and Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG) are among the top buys in the politician's portfolio that are getting limelight. Let's look at what these companies do and whether smart money is interested in them.BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:BWXT)BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:BWXT) makes nuclear components and fuel for the U.S. Navy. The company sits in the middle of two big themes: national defense and the push toward nuclear power.BWXT reported second-quarter revenue up about 18% year over year. Adjusted earnings per share rose from a year ago. Backlog rose 40%. The Commercial Operations segment grew sharply, and its EBITDA more than doubled.Bull case: BWXT is a key licensed supplier of naval nuclear fuel. That work is backed by government contracts that run for decades. Commercial demand is picking up too. Data centers and clean energy goals are pushing more countries toward nuclear power, and BWXT's new capacity comes online right as that demand builds.Bear case: The stock trades at a forward P/E near 37 and a trailing P/E around 48. The PEG ratio is above 3 and EV/EBITDA sits near 38. If naval procurement slows or defense budgets get delayed, the stock would take a hit.According to Insider Monkey's proprietary database of over 900 funds, a total of 61 hedge funds in our database held BWXT at the end of the first quarter, down from 64 at the end of the fourth quarter. However, the dollar value of holdings rose about 25% quarter over quarter. So fewer funds, but bigger stakes. Photo by AlphaTradeZoneEntegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG)Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG) makes specialty materials used to make computer chips. Its products cut contamination and defects on the most advanced chips. So the harder chips get to build, the more the company earns.Entegris reported second quarter revenue up 11.5% year over year, beating expectations. Earnings per share jumped 41%. Gross margin hit 47.6%, its best level since early 2022, helped by a better product mix. Management pointed to better fab utilization and stronger AI chip demand, and raised its outlook for the current quarter.Bull case: Entegris benefits when chipmaking moves to advanced nodes. Why? Because those nodes need more of its materials per wafer.Growth is spread across advanced logic and memory. The AI buildout keeps wafer starts near full capacity. Sales got a boost from that rising chip demand and from the company's grip on materials that are hard to replace.Terms and Privacy PolicyEU DSA contactPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore Info
