Cameco Corporation (CCO-T) has gained significant attention as energy prices rise and the demand for uranium from nuclear power increases. While experts express a bullish sentiment toward the long-term potential of uranium, they are also cautious about the stock's current elevated valuation and recent volatility. Some experts suggest that the price run-up might lead to profit-taking, with recommendations to wait for a pullback before considering additional investments. Despite these concerns, there are strong indicators of a structural shift toward nuclear power due to growing energy needs and geopolitical factors underscored by supply constraints. The acquisition of Westinghouse enhances Cameco's position in the industry, and many experts highlight the importance of nuclear energy in the future clean energy landscape.

TOP PICK
Not a high quality investment stock, only because intrinsic value lags stock price. Expansion of nuclear as a replacement for fossil fuels, virtually worldwide, is huge. Uranium is astonishingly efficient. Addition of Westinghouse is a nice adjunct. Yield is 0.37%. (Analysts’ price target is $43.76)
DON'T BUY
Tough to buy here at $31.66, when 2 years ago it was $12. He sees all the arguments for uranium and nuclear power, but he's not a believer. Model price is $25.02, downside of -21%. Needs earnings to motivate the stock. If there's a pullback, he'd sharpen his pencils for a possible long-volatility strategy.
WATCH
She's watching the uranium sector, because it could be part of this trend to renewable energy. Cameco announced it will buy Westinghouse, and did an equity issue to do this at a 15% discount to the market. That's why shares fell last week. They are few investments for uranium, so she's watching this.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Highest class Uranium producer in the world. Trading at high multiple. Delays in approvals for projects. Nuclear power plants low priority for politicians. Nuclear power clear path forward for energy supply.
TOP PICK
Transitioning to clean energy is needed but won't happen overnight. So, there will be stronger demand for nuclear power and uranium. (Analysts’ price target is $44.95)
DON'T BUY
With the shift from fossil fuels, looks like it will come into favour. They're so affected by politics. One accident sends a chill on development. Primary supplier if the market comes back, but this can take a long time.
TOP PICK
One of the world's largest uranium producers, and among the few pure-play uranium stocks and not held by a government. They have two high-grade mines in Saskatchewan and a joint venture in Kazakstan. They have 450 million pounds of uranium reserves. They have the world's largest, high-grade uranium mine. They are the go-to uranium name. Utilities are scrambling to find non-Russian uranium. CCO is poised to triple earnings next year based on rising demand and prices. Shares have risen, but will continue to rise. (Analysts’ price target is $44.42)
BUY ON WEAKNESS
She's been looking at uranium long term as a viable, even green, energy source. She's watching Cameco--lots of capacity. These stocks have done very well this year, so she's waiting for a pullback.
BUY
CCO vs. NXE He'd prefer CCO, as it's more mature. Outlook for uranium is quite positive, given war in Ukraine and energy bottlenecks. High quality. Well run, efficient. Pays a dividend.
BUY
CCO vs. NXE Uranium looks good, one of the sectors that's up on the year. Demand is strong, supply is getting tighter. Institutional quality, anyone can invest in it. Good cycle in front of us. Whereas NXE is a much-earlier-stage company, so risks are higher. He owns both.
WEAK BUY
CCO vs. NXE He'd lean towards CCO, go-to name, largest producer in the world. The large players attract more international interest. NXE is a small cap, it may not get as much interest, and so the valuation may not get as high. CCO valuation is a bit extended. Outlook for uranium is positive. He'd look at the Sprott U.UN, which is a direct play on uranium prices, rather than the producers.
BUY
Shown good discipline managing supply into the market. Good proxy for uranium, which looks good going forward. Future will be more modular, smaller scale and capex. Yield around only 0.5%, which he could see growing over time.
BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Despite these realities, nuclear is coming back and so is uranium, its essential ingredient. Cameco is the go-to stock here. U.S. President Biden announced in early June that he’s pushing for $4.3 billion plan to buy enriched uranium from domestic producers to wean the country off Vladimir Putin’s supply. On June 7, shares of Cameco soared from roughly $31.40 to $34.40. Shares peeled back over the rest of the week, but remained well above $32.50. Even prior to that, Cameco was making 52-week highs, touching $40 in mid-April, nearly double its late-January price. Cameco has momentum.

HOLD
Lots of volatility in the space, but sees the 2-5 year trend going up. Uranium price has to clear 75 USD to incentivize production necessary for the world to continue to increase its standard of living in carbon-free electrical generation. Second-best in the world. Nice free cash. Reasonable dividend.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
uranium stocks outlook Nuclear power is one of the few ways of solving the need for non-fossil fuel energy, but these plants need 10-15 years to build. Plants in China and the Middle East are in progress. Buy this below $30 and hold 10 years. It moves over a long period of time. He targets $50-60 in 3-5 years. Could be volatile short term.
