Babcock & Wilcox (BW) shares are under heavy pressure after a scathing short-seller report from Wolfpack Research cast doubt on the legitimacy of a touted $2.4 billion AI data center contract. The report has shaken confidence in the company’s deal pipeline and raised red flags about how management presents major growth opportunities.
Sentiment worsened further after a recent SEC filing in which Babcock & Wilcox warned of “substantial doubt” about its ability to continue as a going concern. The company cited serious liquidity risks and 2026 debt maturities, stoking fears over its financial stability and overall transparency with investors.
