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.
He is watching this and spending a little bit of time looking at it because it is so beat up. Reported a pretty miserable Q2, and the stock fell further. It still trades at a relatively high valuation multiple of about 17X next year’s earnings. There are still a number of concerns about the oversupply of uranium, and part of that needs to be resolved by getting a number of these Japanese nuclear reactors back online. There is also a CRA issue that is overhanging the stock, and it is probably priced in. If there was a negative decision from the trial, it could have a further negative impact on the share price.
