As of Sep 14, 2026. Market Open.
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.
There are a lot of reactor projects, but they are massive and take a long time to get up and running. Uranium pricing has been moving better a little bit. Has never been a cheap stock and has never been that exciting to own. He needs to see some sustainable momentum or operational improvement before getting excited. Not that cheap. Why not look at a lumber name? You get that same kind of exposure and half as expensive with a growing revenue EBITDA.
