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.
An enormously disappointing longer-term investment. If the tax case goes in their favour, that will be nice, but the stock really hasn’t done a great deal. There has been a downturn in the demand for uranium. They are building a lot of reactors in China, and are looking to build a lot more in Asia. The only thing that doesn’t emit CO2 for continuous baseload power is nuclear. This is dead money at the moment.
