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.
Has looked at this so many times in the last decade. The theme is that they are a low-cost producer of uranium. People want to get away from oil and gas, so nuclear power seems to have some long-term future. Every time he sees an analyst report, uranium prices are going to go up in 2 years time, and this has been going on for decades. It never seems to happen. The company is dealing with a CRA issue on the tax side as well, but it would be manageable.
Uranium really is the bloodied factory. You have the environmental approach. It’s not easy, and yet is one of the world's greatest highest-grade producers. They've cut production which has helped a bit, but it doesn't help forever. It’s going to stay alive, but shouldn't be your favourite at the moment.
The price of uranium has been pretty positive, and the stock has sort of caught up with that. It had a washout bottom back in October, followed by a move above its resistance. The last move was pretty big, so it may want to come back and test at around $11.95. Indicators are turning up and everything is positive about it. A tough call, because it is so volatile.
The long-term trend has been down until recently, when the stock went from around $10.50 to almost $12. The company reduced the amount of yearly production and the price of uranium in the last 2 weeks has gone up 15%. Seasonality is positive from about November through until May. Technicals have changed dramatically during the last 3 weeks. If you own, stick with it or buy on weakness.
If you look at the commodity sector, it has started to get a bit of a bounce. Is the world going to be able to get off nuclear energy? The balance sheet is okay on this. If you think about electric cars and the increasing demand for electricity, there are countries that do not have the capability of generating their own electricity. The longer-term story is good, but the money and this company could be dead for a couple of years.
He doesn't like to bottom fish or to average down. The one thing that is quite positive on the chart is that there was a pretty big downside in 2016 to around $10, which gives you a good place to hang your hat. You also have to allow for about a 3% penetration. From a risk/reward perspective, this is a pretty good area. Put a Stop in just below $10.
Uraniam prices have struggled since the Japan earthquakes. Another overhang for Cameco is their CRA issue. Hang onto this. It's had a nice move off the bottom. Cameco is short of uranium this year, so they have to buy uranium this year. But buyers have bought enough uranium, so there's an excess on the market. We've hit a bottom in uranium prices, so he expects a bounce...as well as volatility.
