As of Jun 05, 2026. Market Open.
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).
Strong underlying trends with demand for uranium. Great name. Another, but safer, way to play indirectly is with ATRL.
CCO is not perfect but if an investor is looking for general exposure in a relatively safe company we would still prefer it today over smaller companies with less profitability.

Likes uranium. It has been depressed since 2011 with the Japanese nuclear accident. In the medium and long term, uranium prices need to be a lot higher, such as $60-$80. This is one of the biggest public producers. In the short term, there is not much going on. $35 uranium barely makes enough money and there is no visible earnings growth. Prefers Uranium Participation (U-T) which gives more direct exposure to the commodity.
