Cameco CorporationCCO.TOCOMMENTFeb 15, 2017Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jun 25, 2026. Market Open.
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 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.
The world’s largest publicly traded uranium producer. The stock has been in a slump since the Fukushima disaster in 2011. Things started to change in advance of changes of the uranium market fundamentals last summer. Kazatomprom, Kazakhstan’s state owned mine, which owns 30% of the uranium market, decided to cut production by 10%, which will meaningfully tighten things. The price has responded. Cameco has a dispute with Canada Revenue on back taxes and transfer pricing, which is not going to go away in the next 12-18 months. They also have a dispute with the Tokyo Electric Power Company.
