As of Sep 11, 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.
View on uranium has totally changed over the last couple of years. Energy transition is very difficult to do without something like uranium. Spot pricing probably less volatile than oil or gas. From time to time, disappoints on the quarter. Westinghouse servicing component gives them more vertical integration and cashflow stability, lowers risk profile. Go-to name, but valuation has come up so he's leery.
