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.
Two very different beasts in the same industry. NXE will probably have the next project built in Canada. CCO is the granddaddy of traditional mining. Buy NXE if you're looking for the rerate, but with it comes risk. Doesn't see an issue getting fully financed, but then comes execution. Track record for things going according to plan is not great for mining.
CCO is your best way to get exposure to uranium, which is undergoing a renaissance. Predictability, bit of a dividend, real upside from today's uranium price.
