We recently compiled a list of the Why These Energy Stocks are Gaining This Week. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Delek US Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:DK) stands against the other energy stocks.
After a lackluster performance in 2024, the broader energy sector finally seems to be doing better this year with gains of 5.85% since the beginning of 2025, against a decline of over 4% by the wider market during the period.
One sector that has garnered significant worldwide attention over the last year is that of nuclear energy, largely driven by the widespread recognition of its importance in the global ‘clean energy transition’. The ongoing AI boom and the accompanying data centers could also be a major growth driver for the industry, as these facilities consume an overwhelming amount of energy, which needs to come from a relatively cheap, clean, and reliable source such as nuclear.
The sector also received a significant boost last week at the CERAWeek conference in Houston, when several major global companies signed a pledge to support the goal of at least tripling the world’s nuclear energy capacity by 2050. The International Energy Agency recently revealed that there are over 70 gigawatts of new nuclear capacity under construction around the world, one of the highest levels in the last 30 years, and more than 40 countries have plans to expand nuclear’s role in their energy systems.
