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.
He would categorize this as a short term hold and long-term buy. The uranium market continues to be a bit challenged. This looks expensive because they are the biggest uranium miner in the world. Because of that, they are given a premium. Because of the problems in Japan, a lot of uranium has come off as the Japanese shut down their nuclear reactors. They are starting to restart some which should create a surge of uranium demand this year and next. Feels there is potential here.
