Cameco Corporation (CCO) has emerged as a significant player in the uranium sector, driven by a global resurgence in nuclear power demand. Most experts appear optimistic about its long-term prospects, noting that the combination of geopolitical tensions, especially the Ukraine-Russia war, and the growing shift towards clean energy sources favors the uranium market. The company has strong fundamentals with increasing earnings and a notable strategic acquisition of Westinghouse, enhancing its operational capabilities. However, many analysts express concerns over its high valuation, with a considerable number recommending to wait for a price pullback before initiating positions. Despite the positive sentiment around nuclear energy as part of the future energy mix, opinions vary on the appropriate entry points for investment, with current price levels prompting caution among some investors.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The company is debt free with around $200M in cash. The uranium price changes the company’s outlook. Cashflow is recovering nicely. The price could run some more off of supply and demand. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

DON'T BUY

Why has this jumped in the past week? Reason: Sprott Uranium Physical Trust (U.UN-T which he owns) which buys spot uranium which Sprott recently took over and recently raised $300 million in an at-the-market offering in order to buy spot uranium. This is an illiquid market, so spot uranium is a self-fulfilling price move. Utilities will get caught short on this move. He doesn't like Cameco because it's expensive, volatile with spotty earnings. Balance sheet is fine, but missed its last quarter. The stock has moved up with the price of spot uranium. Watch the uranium move, which is in its early days, but he prefers U.UN itself.

BUY

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He is looking to add to it on weakness. We have to go back to nuclear. China is building new plants and India is beginning in their schedule. This is a five to ten year investment.

TOP PICK

One of the largest uranium producer in the world. As the world decarbonizes, nuclear power will come to the forefront as a high quality alternative. The smart environmentalists are embracing it. There are a number of new reactors being built that will increase demand. (Analysts’ price target is $23.42)

BUY

Largest uranium play in the world. A patience play where some times the stock does not do well, and others it does very well. Recently hit new highs. There is a long term transition away from fossil fuels to alternative energy. Nuclear will be an option. Outlook is favourable.

DON'T BUY

Has always been wary. Price of uranium is not only based on supply/demand, but also politics. Cigar Lake has had its problems. Stock looks expensive. He wouldn't participate, but others are true believers in nuclear energy.

DON'T BUY

Many countries are decreasing their uranium footprint. Uranium prices have been slow to recover. Severe consequences of accidents offset any clean energy benefits. She prefers solar, wind, hydro.

TOP PICK

We are moving into a period when there has been very little new uranium mines and contracts are coming up for renewal. There are 55 reactors under construction around the world. Eventually supply constraints will catch up. (Analysts’ price target is $186.67)

DON'T BUY

You don't get new production coming in until $50-60 a lb for the commodity. The valuation for CCO-T is a little rich, though. He would rather play U-T to play the commodity directly. He likes Uranium but would take U-T over CCO-T.

HOLD

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Raymond James raised its target from $17 to $20. There is no news to account for the drop today. It is important to note that it is down less than 3% after running up 48% yoy. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

TOP PICK

He's bought and sold this at a profit. It's broken out in recent weeks. Carries almost no debt. It's profitable, even at the bottom of the cycle. The uranium market should rise from $30 to $40/lb. He expects the ESG wave to hit Cameco, but Cameco offers carbon-free energy through nuclear energy. This could make a $1 billion a year. (Analysts’ price target is $17.24)

DON'T BUY

Has always been wary of uranium. It is a highly politicized material and is subject to many factors. Generally a space that is hard to read. It is always just over the horizon.

DON'T BUY

A materials company that he is not excited on. Has shorted this. A call on valuation and volatility. Not a lot of return on equity, expensive on EBITA basis, and no compelling reason to hold it. Uranium is a tougher market. Nuclear has not profited from the clean energy movement.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 14/19, Up 9%) It has recovered from a valley it hit during March. They didn't add it back when it dropped since there were so many other good opportunities.
