Cameco CorporationCCO.TOBUY ON WEAKNESSFeb 16, 2024Stock price when the opinion was issued
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.
Uranium sector off to a strong start in 2024. Contractual commitments a concern due to rising spot price (not maximizing revenue). Quesiton is whether production can be increased in Saskatchewan. Nuclear power trend moving in the right direction. Small modular reactors a promising development (new market for company). Recently sold on stock price strength. Would wait for weakness in shares before buying. Fundamentals look good.
