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.
For the longest time, no one wanted to talk about this one. All of a sudden people have realized that nuclear is safe, clean, and abundant. Has become in vogue. When uranium is sold to power utilities, those contracts are done for 5-10 years at a time. So he's not sure the earnings power is going to jump up.
If you have a long-term view of 10 years plus, then maybe you want to have a position. If not, be cautious on valuation. Wait for a pullback or for sentiment to become a bit more negative.
