Q2 Net Income of C$74.5M
Net income of C$74.5M (basic EPS C$0.11) vs. a loss of C$86.7M a year ago, entirely due to a C$96.5M non-cash mark-to-market gain on convertible debentures as the share price rose. Operating expenses increased 82% to C$27.3M as the company scales for construction.

Analysis · NXE · Energy & Transportation
A swing to net income of C$74.5 million in Q2 2026 was driven entirely by a C$96.5 million non-cash mark-to-market gain on convertible debentures as the share price rose. Excluding that paper gain, the company remains deeply loss-making, with operating expenses up sharply as it scales for construction. The real story is operational: the Rook I Project received its construction licence in March and broke ground in June, transitioning NexGen from explorer to developer. With C$756 million in cash and a C$1.27 billion adjusted working capital surplus, the company is fully funded through construction, removing near-term financing risk. The subsequent grant of 7.8 million options at C$13.32 aligns management incentives with the build-out phase.
