This summary was created by AI, based on 45 opinions in the last 12 months.

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

Nuclear has really come into its own. Get your nuclear AI exposure directly through NVDA, MSFT, or CCO.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Probably has, by far, the largest uranium deposit in the world, and it's easy to access. The idea of nuclear coming back around the world will really help in the next little while. Stock's run up a lot in anticipation of that, so expect a pullback. Shift to smaller modules will also help.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 07/25, Up 75%)

It was quite interesting that they bought Westinghouse and now they hold 50% interest in the "arm supplier" to the nuclear business. Anything growing that involves nuclear with touch Westinghouse--he saw this as a growth avenue. CCO has a stable cash flow. Nuclear is a long-term growth industry because AI centres need power.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Fair bit of volatility, which gives a fantastic opportunity to write covered calls. Longer term, thinks it continues to go higher. Electronics plus data centres pose a power challenge in future. Nuclear is one way to solve this. When he plays the sector, this is typically the name he goes to.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Trades at 90x PE and 60x 2026. Will it grow into earnings or correct? Is cautious about stocks that have run up in the uranium space. Is cautious chasing strength but would buy weakness.

TOP PICK

If its reality is going to be more growth and building of nuclear plants, this name will be involved. Have to think of it as a slow-growth story. Stock price is seeing volatility right now. If White House politicizes Federal Reserve and forces interest rates down to 1%, the USD will probably fall, which will send up commodity prices (as all commodities are priced in US dollars). That would put CCO, gold, oil & gas right in the wheelhouse for the future. But would also cause inflation, so the US has to tread slowly.

For the long run, decent buy at this level. For patient investors only. Yield is 0.22%.

(Analysts’ price target is $152.56)
BUY

Outlook for uranium is really strong, as is the outlook for nuclear power. Assuming we're going to get the buildout of data centres, the biggest concern will be power production. The granddaddy. Trading around, or just below, 50-day MA. Long-term MA's are sloped higher. Estimates for earnings are going up, not down.

Traded better than ~80% of companies in S&P over the last 52 weeks. Relatively early stages of a commodity bull market.

COMMENT

He doesn't really know enough about it. The stock's really going up with the price of uranium. With the AI buildout, everyone's looking to build more and more nuclear power plants. Nuclear will definitely play a bigger part of the energy in our lives.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Awesome breakout. Higher highs and higher lows. In an uptrend. Great stock. He doesn't buy just because the price touches the trendline, but waits for a bounce. As long as pullbacks hold, they're buyable.

PARTIAL BUY
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

CCO is a large-scale uranium producer and part of the nuclear supply chain, which is gaining support under the 'clean baseload power' and infrastructure transition narrative. We think it has some tailwinds from the AI and infrastructure angle, momentum has been great, and forward earnings estimates are trending higher. It trades at a premium valuation of 74X forward earnings, but margins have been reaccelerating and its free cash flow growth has been significant. We think it looks interesting here.

TOP PICK

Uranium pricing is moving higher. Great acquisition on nuclear from Westinghouse. First of the uranium companies to break out to new highs a couple of years ago. Giant structural base. Pricing power and volume growth. Core in his portfolio, not speculative. Will benefit over next few years from the environment we're in. Yield is 0.12%.

(Analysts’ price target is $123.03)
WAIT

Wait for a pullback, as optimism of whole world on uranium is at fever pitch right now (but for very good reason). Need uranium and nuclear to be part of the power solution. Proxy for uranium market (illiquid and opaque), and spot uranium prices are very strong.

WAIT

For the longest time, no one wanted to talk about this one. All of a sudden people have realized that nuclear is safe, clean, and abundant. Has become in vogue. When uranium is sold to power utilities, those contracts are done for 5-10 years at a time. So he's not sure the earnings power is going to jump up.

If you have a long-term view of 10 years plus, then maybe you want to have a position. If not, be cautious on valuation. Wait for a pullback or for sentiment to become a bit more negative.

BUY

Caught up by sellers in the momentum stocks. Long-term picture for nuclear power is really strong. Demand for power will continue to grow, and this is one of the links in that chain. Stock's pulled back a bit, and he'd be a buyer.

WAIT

CCO is the bellwether, and a big part of URA, a uranium ETF. On the chart for CCO, you can see that it's had a big move but starting to stall out a bit. Starting to consolidate in time. Important support around $85, a 10-15% correction. Likes the chart longer term, but at these high levels it's like flipping a coin. He'd be nervous to put on a big position, especially with his view that a correction is coming in next 1-3 months.
