Cameco Corporation (CCO) has emerged as a leading player in the uranium sector, buoyed by the resurgence of demand for nuclear energy. Experts highlight the company's strong positioning as a low-cost uranium producer, benefiting from geopolitical factors like supply constraints due to the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Despite its robust growth prospects and increasing involvement in nuclear infrastructure through acquisitions like Westinghouse, there are widespread concerns regarding its high valuation, with many analysts suggesting caution at current price levels. The general sentiment leans towards viewing CCO’s potential as positive for a long-term investment, particularly as the global energy landscape shifts towards cleaner energy sources, yet indicates that a pullback may be prudent for investors. The company's strong fundamentals have been overshadowed by market volatility, leading to mixed opinions about the right time for entry into this stock.

BUY

Really likes this name. Fundamentals of uranium continue to improve post the Fukushima disaster, especially since the Chinas of the world have committed to building power plants. Canada has just made an agreement with India to ship them uranium.

BUY

Metals tend to do ok this time of year but they are not so much this year and that buy itself is interesting. A lot of the types of sectors that tend not to do well have been outperforming. This one is following that pattern. A very defined level of resistance at $23. Support is around $17. Right now it is moving sideways between $17 and $23.

WATCH

Japan has been slow to restart reactors but she feels they will have to. Uranium has not done much and she sees no short term catalysts for it. For CCO, they have a big mine coming on stream in Cigar lake and investors will be watching this.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 13/12. Up 7.2%.) (See Top Picks.)

DON'T BUY

We are seeing an unprecedented growth in the production of both gas and oil in North America. So much so that we can’t process it all. This company does well when there are high energy prices and it is possible for the foreseeable future that we are going to have lower than expected energy prices.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Loves the nuclear space. The cheapest and most efficient solution for the world’s energy needs. Japan’s event spooked the world. CCO is a great way to get exposure to the space, but there will be volatility over the next few years. Look for one more dip and that would be the ideal time to buy it.

BUY

Likes the uranium space a lot. Thinks the price of uranium required to build new uranium mines is between $75 and $85 where the current price is $40-$45. On a forward-looking basis, either the price of uranium goes up or the lights go off around the world. This is the name you need for uranium.

WAIT

Likes uranium. Now that India and China have started working on the reactors and Japan will probably approve some of the reactors that were closed, the outlook for uranium is quite positive. You will have some time in this so he wouldn’t chase it. His favourite has been Uranium Participation (U-T).

DON'T BUY

Used to be a huge booster of nuclear energy. Events in Japan after the tsunami was a bit of a game changer. More importantly, was the development of cheap sources of energy in North America. When you can get reasonably priced natural gas plants, why would you want to get involved with huge construction costs for nuclear power and the unknowable costs of decommissioning and the still undecided issues of storing radioactive fuel rods?

WAIT

(Market Call Minute) If it traded through $24 it would be more interesting technically. Looks like it is turning around.

STRONG BUY

Likes uranium. Had a big plunge after the tsunami and everyone ran away from uranium. Thinks money is coming back in. This one is probably the bellwether and the chart shows a monster base. Thinks it is a must own. (See Top Picks.)

DON'T BUY

A play on uranium, which has been very slow to pick up post Japanese disaster. Uranium prices are staying around the $45 level. The one positive is that it looks like Japan is going to get their safety standards in place by July of this year. There is no near term catalyst to buy this.

TOP PICK

Results at close today. Outlook for uranium sector is brightening. Vertically integrated. Part interest in Bruce. Healthy dividend. Outlook is good given that Japan is spending $100 million per day for not having nuclear plants online. China is building new power plants.

BUY

Looks like Japan, under the new Prime Minister, is going to reverse its negative view of the nuclear business. Also, China is ploughing ahead with all of its nuclear programs. $25 in one year.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Continues to ooze lower. Has had a nice rally but probably because of Uranium One (UUU-T) takeover as much as anything else. Historically cheap and looks okay but still doesn’t see where the momentum is.
