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

Golden crosses and death crosses sound good, but he doesn't use them; they're lagging indicators. Next target close to $100, so 20-25% upside. Has price momentum behind it. Recommending to clients.

WEAK BUY

He'd probably pick this one as the leader in the group. Uranium stocks have done much better in the last month, waking up. That cohort probably has a tailwind. Commodities markets have been waking up in general, prior to China making a turn. 

BUY

Their 20x operating cash flow is scary, but they dominate this space. Demand remains huge for nuclear reactors. This is the top play in this sector, so the valuation is high.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Largely a reflection on uranium sentiment. If you're bullish on uranium, this is one of the most liquid ways to express that view. Despite spot prices coming in weaker, inevitable that nuclear will have a critical role to play in AI long term. Rallied, but could be volatile.

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

We like the uranium sector, and CCO is the largest Canadian public company in the space. It is not perfect, but with production and export limits elsewhere, its production starts looking good, being in safe jurisdictions. The sector supply demand outlook should be favourable for the company. 2) Yes. The company and sector is not only cyclical, but it can be a big momentum trader.  We would keep an eye on position size and reduce when the sector gets 'hot'.

DON'T BUY

Commodity-based stock. She's positive on demand for nuclear, but invests indirectly; think BEP.UN and TRP. Globally, 60 nuclear plants are in construction, 100 in planning stages. Long-term tailwinds. But short term, she can't predict the commodity price.

WATCH

He likes the sector longer term. In the near term, basic materials have pulled back on weaker economic data. He came out of this name when it broke the 200-day MA, technical breakdown. Would love to see the stock get repaired, needs to see bottoming in price action. Future is bright, great company.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 04/24, Down 13%)

He has a 3 to 6 month horizon. There is need for power grid supplementation and uranium is a good place to be. The long term chart is all over the map. He bought it two years ago and is holding.

HOLD

Bullish on uranium. Nuclear renaissance, contributing to increasing demand. His choice in the space, as it's bigger and is actually producing.

SELL ON STRENGTH
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

CCO operates as a uranium provider for the generation of electricity that is in the process of integrating a large acquisition. CCO operates in a cyclical industry, and has limited capital returns, and the recent acquisition also pushed the leverage level to a high level. We are okay with taking the loss in CCO to move funds to HPS.A, as we think HPS.A could have more potential to achieve solid growth going forward while still trading at a fair valuation.

HOLD

Robust outlook for nuclear. Valuation's a bit high, and for that reason it's a hold. Don't add at this point or start a position. Wants to see better earnings growth and a more reasonable valuation. Likes the business, but not the price yet.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Outlook mixed. 5-year uranium book did creep higher. 2024 guidance unchanged. Can buy on pullback today. He models 44% EPS growth for 2024-2026. Stock was pricey, today is a reset. First, check whether it's moving close to its 200-day MA.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Broke out in 2023. Despite pullback, he's still in because the bigger trend that began in 2022 is definitely still in place. As long as it's not breaking the series of higher highs and higher lows, he really likes the uranium space. An opportunistic buy as it pulls back.

Go to his blog and search "uranium" for lots of research. Good long-term story, the future for power.

WEAK BUY

You have to really believe in uranium. Two pieces, with Westinghouse and mining. Cheap, on 2028 spot uranium prices, but you have to believe that those prices are on an upward march. He's constructive on nuclear as a whole, and CCO is the only way to express that view.

He doesn't own it because of valuation, better opportunities out there. If you like uranium, you really don't have any other choice.

TOP PICK

Large share run up lately with a recent dip a good time to buy. Owns shares in portfolio. One of the World's largest Uranium reserve deposits. Benefiting from higher Uranium prices - expecting ~30% earnings growth. Rising Nuclear demand in North America will be good for the business. Recent M&A is proving to be fruitful as well.
