ChatGPT unleashed a need for reliable power to electricity-hungry data centres. Recent results were mixed, but noteworthy was Westinghouse filing confidential IPO application. That should be huge, and CCO will benefit as 50% owner. Uranium supply/demand should get much tighter; demand will grow, and governments are investing in nuclear.
PE is high, but it's more of a net asset value story (very discounted compared to what it's really worth).
It goes back to the fact that there's been some profit-taking over the past month or so. Still up 50% over last 12 months. Long-term, clean-energy/renewable theme makes a lot of sense. Fallen to around the 200-day MA, still pretty attractive from a technical perspective with its higher highs and higher lows.
Safe holding for 10 years? As a 10 year hold, it should be safe as uranium demand will come back. Countries like China and India need to have nuclear as a source of energy. This company is planning on doubling its production in the next 4-5 years. Recently made a uranium acquisition, which she found rather surprising as they wanted to follow an organic growth strategy.
