Cameco Corporation (CCO-T) is viewed positively among analysts, primarily due to its pivotal role in the uranium sector amid a growing demand for clean energy and nuclear power. Experts underscore its increasing significance with the rising reliance on nuclear energy, particularly for data center power supplies, as well as company initiatives such as its 50% stake in Westinghouse. While its long-term prospects remain optimistic owing to robust demand, there are concerns regarding its current valuation, which is seen as high by several analysts despite strong growth potential and attractive future earnings. Short-term volatility, driven by profit-taking and market fluctuations, adds a layer of caution for potential investors, pointing towards strategic buying opportunities on pullbacks. Overall, the sentiment is that CCO is well-positioned for future growth, provided investors can navigate through necessary corrections and volatility in the uranium market.

Valuation

Uranium, URA

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.

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.

WATCH

Uranium Sector. Has the bull started running? His proxy is CCO-T. If there is a bullish case for Uranium, the analysts have not heard it. U-T is up 66% so had had quite a move. He hopes the analysts will get the same message he is about the outlook for uranium.

DON'T BUY

Trump's decision to support U.S. uranium--effect on Cameco? It won't matter. The U.S. barely has any uranium. CCO is the second-best uranium company in the world. It's stable and transparent. But uranium's outlook given a global slowdown and lack of Japanese demand is cloudy. Also, this is HIGHLY volatile. Good for options traders, which he is not.

WAIT

The only thing to look at is uranium prices. Until prices take off, stay on the sidelines. If prices take off, first go-to is the Uranium Participation Corp. Then come back to Cameco after that. Need a break above $6 before he'd be interested.

SELL ON STRENGTH

A downward chart since early-2019. At $12.15, exit.

DON'T BUY

People have been waiting for interest in uranium and nuclear power for a long time. He has stayed away. He does not own it and does not follow it closely. It trades around book value and at forward earnings are not looking that robust. It is just too expensive. There will be more emphasis on nuclear generation in China and India going forward, but it could be a long wait.
