He owns some bonds, but hasn't pulled the trigger on the equity. Disconnect between a 10-year horizon for contracts and the current spot price for uranium. Spot price won't be showing up in the profitability.
If you've made money, well done. Remember that commodities tend to overshoot in either direction. Don't add at these levels.
Beat last quarter, but guidance was a bit lower. Very attractive, multi-year outlook, but don't add here. About 40% growth, but trading ~75x PE for 2027. Ironically, a real risk to this name is if peace comes to the Ukraine-Russia war.
You have to have respect for stock prices at both ends of the extreme.
Caught momentum from nuclear reinvigoration globally -- key driver for that `is AI demand. By far, nuclear is the most stable and cost-effective. However, building out reactors is not easy (not to mention regulatory hurdles).

He would also like to see the Japanese become more involved. For the moment, he would just sit and watch. If he were going to get into this, it would be through the actual commodity via Uranium Participation (U-T).
