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.
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.
