BWXT拟以最高8亿美元出售医疗业务给Nordic Capital

BWXT will retain a minority ownership in the new company
LYNCHBURG, Va.
--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2026--
BWX Technologies, Inc.
(NYSE: BWXT) announced today it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its medical business to
Nordic Capital
, an experienced healthcare investor with broad expertise and a deep understanding of the radiopharmaceutical industry and its value chain. The transaction, valued at up to
$800 million
, includes BWXT Medical and Kinectrics’ stable medical isotopes business.
The sale will enable BWXT to concentrate resources and capital on accelerating growth in its core nuclear national security and commercial nuclear power markets, areas central to the company’s long-term strategy. Under Nordic Capital’s ownership, the medical business is expected to be well-positioned to scale, expand capabilities and advance its market presence in radiopharmaceuticals, including developing, manufacturing and delivering products for diagnostic imaging and radiotherapeutic treatments.
BWXT remains bullish on long-term growth in the radiopharmaceutical market and will maintain a meaningful minority ownership stake in the divested business. BWXT will also continue providing specialized isotope and radiochemical expertise under the agreement.
“Since acquiring the medical business in 2018, we have roughly tripled revenue, improved profitability and significantly expanded the product portfolio, including novel therapeutic isotopes,” said
Rex D. Geveden
, BWXT president and chief executive officer. “As the business enters its next phase, this transaction provides an opportunity for the medical team to grow under an owner deeply committed to the healthcare sector, as we concentrate management resources and capital on our core businesses in nuclear national security and nuclear power. We are very pleased to go forward as a minority partner to
Nordic Capital
in BWXT Medical’s future growth given the expertise and deep resources they bring to this business and the market.”
“We are excited about the next step as
Nordic Capital
sees significant potential to scale the business and expand access to cutting-edge radiopharmaceutical therapy," said
Christian Hedegaard
, partner,
Nordic Capital Advisors
. “Nordic Capital has a long track record of successful investments across both pharmaceuticals and life sciences, and radiopharmaceuticals sit squarely at the intersection of the two. That sector depth, combined with strong conviction in the BWXT Medical team’s capabilities, created a strong foundation for this partnership.”
The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close by the end of 2026.
Solomon Partners
is serving as exclusive financial advisor to BWXT, and
Stikeman Elliott
is serving as legal counsel.
Kirkland & Ellis LLP
and McCarthy Tétrault are legal counsel for
