Westwater Resources Inc (NYSEAMERICAN:WWR) is an energy technology company that focuses on developing battery-grade natural graphite materials for advanced batteries.

The stock has surged sharply so far in 2025 after WWR announced in late January that it received final investment committee approval for debt financing to complete the construction of Phase I and fund Phase II of the Kellyton plant. The $453 million Phase II expansion aims to increase production capacity to 50,000 metric tons annually.

It is projected to generate a pre-tax NPV of $1.4 billion and IRR of 31.8%.

Moreover, WWR secured a 34,000-ton graphite supply deal with SK On in 2024. There was another agreement with Hiller Carbon for graphite fines byproducts.

Trump’s executive orders have also helped, as the national energy emergency prioritizes domestic production of minerals like graphite.

WWR stock is up 30.31% year-to-date.
