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.
Wouldn’t touch this with a 10 foot pole. First of all, spot prices for uranium are well below past levels. The Japanese reactor situation is still unclear. They’ve had a series of mistakes. Also, their 2003-2009 tax situation is being investigated. They could be on the hook for $250 million. He would go to Uranium Participation (U-T) instead, maybe in a year’s time.
