Cameco CorporationCCO.TOCOMMENTSep 20, 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.
He owns this, because it is a commodity company at the bottom of the uranium cycle. The uranium cycle was upended by the Fukushima disaster. Japan, being one of the big users of nuclear fuel, backed away and have not come back. Natural gas is cheaper in the short term, but we still need a lot of electricity. China is building 60 or 70 reactors and nuclear fuel, in a normal environment, is a low-cost provider. It has very limited environmental impact but has a very negative NIMBY association. There is still no solution in moving spent uranium from a reactor back to some place to store it. Has a $.40 dividend which is secure. This will end up being a spectacular investment.
