As of Jun 05, 2026. Market Open.
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.
Caught momentum from nuclear reinvigoration globally -- key driver for that `is AI demand. By far, nuclear is the most stable and cost-effective. However, building out reactors is not easy (not to mention regulatory hurdles).
Strong underlying trends with demand for uranium. Great name. Another, but safer, way to play indirectly is with ATRL.
CCO is not perfect but if an investor is looking for general exposure in a relatively safe company we would still prefer it today over smaller companies with less profitability.

If its reality is going to be more growth and building of nuclear plants, this name will be involved. Have to think of it as a slow-growth story. Stock price is seeing volatility right now. If White House politicizes Federal Reserve and forces interest rates down to 1%, the USD will probably fall, which will send up commodity prices (as all commodities are priced in US dollars). That would put CCO, gold, oil & gas right in the wheelhouse for the future. But would also cause inflation, so the US has to tread slowly.
(Analysts’ price target is $152.56)For the long run, decent buy at this level. For patient investors only. Yield is 0.22%.
