Cameco Corporation (CCO) has emerged as a prominent player in the uranium sector, benefiting from the growing demand for nuclear power amidst rising energy prices and evolving market dynamics. Various experts highlight the company's strong growth potential and stable position in a volatile market, yet caution about its high valuation, making it both a coveted and risky investment. While the stock has experienced significant appreciation over the past year, with many analysts suggesting strategic buys on dips, concerns about future earnings and technical breakdowns have surfaced, leading to a mixed sentiment among experts. The consensus indicates long-term bullishness due to structural changes in nuclear energy, but it is accompanied by calls for caution, emphasizing a measured approach in the current high valuation environment.

URNM
HOLD

Likes uranium, the world needs more, and Canada has lots. The world particularly likes uranium from geopolitically stable countries.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He sold part of his position around $90 last year. RSI says it is now way overbought. He likes it, but expects it to pull back to slightly above its old high.

HOLD
Recently got in, has done well.

Nuclear resurgence has been strong, and CCO plays a key role. Saskatchewan assets are very high grade, the best you can get. If you own it, sit tight. If not, watch and wait. Don't chase. So much hype in the space. Executing well, but there's only so much uranium that can be mined and sold.

BUY

The whole nuclear energy theme has really jumped back into the spotlight. No matter what happens with tariffs and other things, we know that there will be expanded (perhaps exponential) demand for energy. Some of that will come from natural gas, and some from nuclear.

A new position for him. Good, and getting better. Can't ignore the breakout from a multi-year base. Westinghouse business is getting better.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It's in the right space, uranium, given demand for nuclear power. The share price is high, so wait for a pullback. Also, commodities are volatile. A well-run company.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Extended in the short term, likely to see a pullback to around $74-75. Once that's done, broader reacceleration after that. But downtrend definitely broken, and it's in a new intermediate-term uptrend.

A rising tide floats all boats, and that's where we are now in the market. But remember that August and September are typically the worst months for equities. So you can hold this name till then, but then look to manage some risk.

BUY

Uranium stocks had a fantastic run. Not at a 12-month low but, fundamentally speaking, you have utilities that aren't properly covered in terms of their needs. Supply issues. Not many are starting new mines, as they wait for prices to get back to $100/pound. It takes time to start new mines. Buy it now, knowing of the fundamental global energy trend in place. Modular reactors will become reality over the next 10 years.

Spot market is what people look at every single day, and that's where you see the gyrations in uranium prices. Right now, ~$65/pound. Term market is where most of the long-term contracting gets done, such as by utilities; and that one's been fairly steady.

HOLD

Super bullish on AI, it's just getting started. We're going to run out of power before we run out of demand for AI. Need energy, cooling, construction, labour, chips, racks. Hard to tell what future's going to bring. Demand for data centres will be a bumpy story as the economy ebbs and flows.

Nuclear is exciting, but unsure how quickly you're going to make money. CCO is a great business with great operations. Good for those who bought the dip in April. He'd prefer nat gas via TOU.

WATCH

Think of it as a core position in a Canadian context. Uranium has really come into its own. Outside of speculative companies, is the best low-cost producer. Nuclear servicing via Westinghouse purchase. Not something you need to jump into with both feet today.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 11/24, Down 15%)

He and his team are secular bulls on the nuclear renaissance. Cheap and clean. Has second-largest stock of uranium in the world. Utilities that buy uranium are like deer in the headlights right now on uncertainty of whether Washington will broker a truce with Russia on Ukraine, bringing Russian uranium back online.

DON'T BUY

Uranium stocks have been pulling back since November, before the market started to correct. Technically in the near term, they're all broken. Long-term picture is excellent. Don't add here, until you see something change for the better.

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

CCO has had three broker target price downgrades in April. In addition, the uranium sector has been weak as investors consider whether Russian exports will be allowed to resume if there is some resolution to the Ukraine War.

BUY

Came off quite significantly between December and March. Previous high was ~$85; the 50% retracement takes us to $72.50. This is where we saw some resistance in early February. Hard to say if it would get to $80. Usually, if there's a move in a stock, the countermove can often be about half of that.

COMMENT

Nuclear power is a way forward and there is a case for smaller nuclear power plants. He doesn't like cyclical stocks but Cameco is in a bit of a sweet spot. Lots of power will be needed for AI data centres.

WATCH

On her watchlist. Have to have a very long-term view on uranium to buy this name. Long-term contracts, which don't reflect uranium spot price. Nuclear resurgence, positive on the sector. Price still ahead of itself. She has indirect exposure through BIP.UN, which co-owns Westinghouse with CCO.
