<\/div>\n

Shares of radiation safety firm Mirion Technologies (NYSE:MIR) jumped 12% on Friday after JPMorgan initiated research coverage with an Overweight rating and a $28 price target, suggesting an upside of roughly 31%. <\/p>\n

The rally was further fueled by a Politico report indicating that the US Department of Energy (DOE) is preparing to announce $900 million in funding for domestic uranium enrichment, a development that could indirectly benefit companies operating in nuclear safety and related industries.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the stock was trading at $23.88, up by 11.43%.<\/p>\n

JPMorgan sees strong growth trajectory<\/h2>\n

JPMorgan\u2019s research note positioned Mirion as a top pick in the radiation safety space, highlighting its leadership across nuclear power, medical cancer care, dosimetry, and research laboratories. <\/p>\n

The bank\u2019s $28 price target implies roughly 31% upside from current levels.<\/p>\n

The firm cited several growth drivers for its positive outlook, including high-single-digit revenue growth, improving free cash flow conversion to 75% by 2026, and significant EBITDA margin expansion\u2014from about 24% in 2024 to nearly 30% by 2028.<\/p>\n

JPMorgan also pointed to Mirion\u2019s robust $825 million backlog and recurring revenue base, with approximately 73% of revenue recurring and 30% derived from software and services. <\/p>\n

The recent acquisition of Paragon Energy Solutions, expected to generate $10 million in synergies, was viewed as complementary to Mirion\u2019s margin expansion goals. <\/p>\n

Despite the capital commitments required for the deal, the bank expects Mirion to achieve its targeted 600 basis point margin expansion by 2028.<\/p>\n

DOE funding signals nuclear industry support<\/h2>\n

Adding to the sector\u2019s momentum, Politico reported that the DOE is preparing to announce at least $900 million in funding for domestic uranium enrichment, possibly by the end of this month. <\/p>\n

The move comes as the US plans to halt Russian uranium imports by 2028, aiming to strengthen domestic supply chains for the 94 nuclear reactors currently providing about 20% of US electricity.<\/p>\n

While analysts noted the funding represents seed money rather than a comprehensive solution, the investment underscores growing federal support for the nuclear industry. <\/p>\n

Market observers see this as a potential tailwind for companies like Mirion, whose products play a central role in radiation safety and nuclear power operations.<\/p>\n

Strategic capital raises and outlook<\/h2>\n

Mirion has been active on the financing front in recent months. <\/p>\n

The company priced an upsized public offering of 17.3 million shares of Class A common stock at $21.35 per share, expected to close on September 30, 2025. <\/p>\n

It also launched a $325 million offering of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031, raised from an initial $250 million target.<\/p>\n

Moody\u2019s Ratings recently affirmed Mirion\u2019s B1 corporate family rating and upgraded its senior secured bank credit facility rating to Ba2 from Ba3, maintaining a stable outlook. <\/p>\n

The upgrade followed Mirion\u2019s announcement of its $585 million acquisition of Paragon, financed with proceeds from equity and bond offerings.<\/p>\n

The company has also undertaken a series of capital raises, including a $250 million convertible note issuance with an additional $37.5 million purchase option, as well as a $350 million public equity offering managed by Goldman Sachs, Evercore ISI, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
