Hitachi (6501.T)

Equipment / SMR | MEDIUM | Weight: 10%

Thesis: Holds the most commercially advanced SMR asset globally through GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (50/50 JV) developing the BWRX-300 — the only SMR with contracted projects (Canada, Poland, US). $40B Japan-US deal earmarks tens of billions for GEH reactors. Digital segment provides growth while nuclear is the optionality.

Risk: Nuclear is a small sub-segment of a ¥10T conglomerate — limited direct earnings leverage. Large-cap (¥21.6T) means nuclear catalysts move the needle slowly.

Monitor: Watch BWRX-300 construction progress at Darlington (Canada). If first SMR connects to grid, major re-rating catalyst.
