Trade Alert: Top Names + Nuclear
An bullish trade with uncapped upside on one of our top names in the nuclear space.
A Top Name That Fits Our Reindustrialization Theme
We put on a new trade today in one of Portfolio Armor’s Top Names from last night’s list. It also plugs directly into the reindustrialization thesis we’ve been hammering on—rebuilding critical domestic/ally capacity for the inputs that power modern industry.

Positioning For The Next Phase: Reindustrialization, Embodied AI, Energy, and Crypto—And How We’re Trading It
What it is: a small, U.S.-based critical-materials player supplying inputs used across nuclear medicine and advanced manufacturing (think specialty isotopes / advanced materials). It’s a scarce-capacity story with obvious downstream ties to semis, healthcare, and energy—exactly the kind of “picks & shovels” exposure we like for this cycle.
Why it looks attractive here:
Signal + theme: It screened as a PA Top Name, and the business sits squarely in our reindustrialization bucket.
Scarcity value: Few credible producers are coming online; early commercial traction can get re-rated quickly.
Set-up: September’s pullback has kept implied volatility elevated, letting us harvest IV while giving the trade time to work.
How we structured it: long-dated calls partially paid for by a defined-risk bull put spread—keeping risk below $500 per contract and pushing break-even lower than naked calls would. Expiration is out into next spring so we can monetize IV now and still benefit if the broader nuclear rally resumes.
As always, full trade details—strikes, expiration, fills, and our exit strategy—are in the paid subscriber section below.
