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 long-term trend has been down until recently, when the stock went from around $10.50 to almost $12. The company reduced the amount of yearly production and the price of uranium in the last 2 weeks has gone up 15%. Seasonality is positive from about November through until May. Technicals have changed dramatically during the last 3 weeks. If you own, stick with it or buy on weakness.
