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.
The spot price has gone up on uranium, but the stocks have not responded. URA-T is an ETF that is a basket of uranium stocks and could be watched as representative of the sector. This is a time of year when the sector does well, yet this year it is still in a downward trend, so you want to wait until the technicals change before going in.
This was his top pick for 2015. Seasonality starts around this time of year until May. We had a break down last week and he expects a brutal 4th quarter because they just started up a new mine. Your down side risk is very, very minimal, but technicals are not good. You want to wait until this thing shows signs of bottoming later in the spring.
The “go to” name in uranium. If the uranium sector is going to do anything, the big money is going to go into this company. So far we haven’t seen that. The chart shows a huge trading range from 2012. Some day it is going to break out. He doesn’t think it is going to break down. Doesn’t think you are going to get hurt, but doesn’t think anything is going to really happen. Until a breakout on volume occurs, there is no hurry.
This will pick up in due course. There was a run up in the price of spot uranium when it was announced that Russia was going to build some more nuclear power plants. There was some suggestion that India was going to do likewise, but he is not sure if that is a repeat of plans already announced. We have to see some firm orders on the table. He would also like to see the Japanese become more involved. For the moment, he would just sit and watch. If he were going to get into this, it would be through the actual commodity via Uranium Participation (U-T).
If you are going to invest in a uranium producer, this is the one to invest in. This is obviously a politically charged investment. Doesn't think there is any way, long-term, that the Europeans, looking at an increasingly belligerent Russian government, can't give nuclear a restart. Also, Chinese coal, oil, natural gas and oil consumption continues to go up. Chinese are embracing the fact that they are killing themselves and everyone else if they don't make adjustments.
There was a lot of psychological element as to what the spot price of uranium was doing. This is one of the biggest producers in the world. Long life, low costs assets. Japan is now able to restart two reactors. CCO-T can drive growth. Operational issues are now resolved. As they bring on new contracts, it will be positive.
The largest player in the world which is where people move generally when the sector starts to turn around. To play uranium directly, he would use Uranium Participation (U-T). This is effectively like buying the commodity. Even the Japanese seem to have enough inventory for now. Longer-term, uranium prices have to go higher. You are not going to find new supplies anywhere close to the current price.
Not a big fan of uranium. From a technical perspective, the stock is falling below the 200 day moving average and is not getting above that very much. Thinks the demand in this particular space is slow and is waning. There is also a surplus.
