Cameco Corporation (CCO.TO)

The long term uranium contracting prices are very robust. It is expensive at 35 X 2024 earnings but the growth rate is 56% so the price to growth is still good.

Ukraine war has brought about a complete 180 change in the uranium market. Prices have increased. Good things in store, should triple EPS this year. PE looking forward looks sensible. Westinghouse venture is smart.

Chart shows a very powerful pattern in technical analysis. Bumped up against resistance 3 times. Lows are going higher, which means that investors have been buying more aggressively each time. The leader, pushing higher. Fundamental reasons for that push. No dividend.

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.

Interesting, because the world is looking at nuclear power again, so Cameco can benefit. Cameco signed a deal with Brookfield to manage nuclear businesses--they're diversify, which is good. Will benefit from trend for smaller nuclear plants.

Uranium is a good transition fuel.
Believes business prospects good (short term).
Long term prospects for business not as good (renewables better option).

View on uranium has totally changed over the last couple of years. Energy transition is very difficult to do without something like uranium. Spot pricing probably less volatile than oil or gas. From time to time, disappoints on the quarter. Westinghouse servicing component gives them more vertical integration and cashflow stability, lowers risk profile. Go-to name, but valuation has come up so he's leery.
