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'.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
