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.
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.
CCO is a large-scale uranium producer and part of the nuclear supply chain, which is gaining support under the 'clean baseload power' and infrastructure transition narrative. We think it has some tailwinds from the AI and infrastructure angle, momentum has been great, and forward earnings estimates are trending higher. It trades at a premium valuation of 74X forward earnings, but margins have been reaccelerating and its free cash flow growth has been significant. We think it looks interesting here.
