TSE:CCO
For a direct investment, we would consider CCO fine and likely the safest. There are smaller exploration companies, developers and companies involved in building facilities. One can also invest in uranium ETFs that hold the metal directly. But we think CCO provides the easiest stock exposure for exposure to the sector.

Clear leader, demand is going up around the world. Generally, shift to cleaner energy over time. Oil prices have been moving higher based on geopolitical pressures and stronger demand than expected. Likes the space. Long-term contracts. High valuation right now, expensive. He owns just a smattering.
Rather than try to predict the future of commodity prices, which is difficult, his firm tries to prepare for various outcomes. Has done extremely well, driven by high price of the commodity, which is at highest level since 2007. One of the world's largest producers, operates globally. Also owns 49% of Westinghouse.
Likes its assets, which are in good geopolitical jurisdictions, a real advantage. Main competition is in Kazakhstan, which comes with complications.
However, current valuation of 40x PE is very expensive. Trailing earnings is 80x. No dividend. Take money off the table and invest where there's more upside.
One of the world's largest producers of uranium, essentially a pure play. One of a very small number of public companies in the space. Stable source. Uranium markets are very tight. Earnings up 134%, expected to rise again this year and next. Perfect fit for a momentum portfolio. Change in prevailing view on nuclear energy. Westinghouse acquisition is the icing on the cake. Yield is 0.2%.
(Analysts’ price target is $73.71)They had a spectacular run for the last two years. He rode this, but now the whole world is on this. Shares are pulling back, because nuclear plants take a long, long time to complete. With the price of uranium, countries and companies need to build new mines and these take time. Buy on pullback but only partially. He expects lower prices ahead.

He feels it is too expensive and could easily come off even with increasing uranium prices. It could make $3 billion in the next 5 to 7 years but the market cap is 23 billion. Has 1 1/2 billion in assets now. He moved their uranium holdings to Denison for production in two years without the volatility of Cameco.
Uranium sector off to a strong start in 2024. Contractual commitments a concern due to rising spot price (not maximizing revenue). Quesiton is whether production can be increased in Saskatchewan. Nuclear power trend moving in the right direction. Small modular reactors a promising development (new market for company). Recently sold on stock price strength. Would wait for weakness in shares before buying. Fundamentals look good.
Renaissance for nuclear energy. Lots of positive sentiment. With Westinghouse, changed business mix a bit, no longer as sensitive to uranium commodity price. Also gives them some servicing revenues. Likes the strategy. Revenue growth quite strong, cashflow strong.
Valuation still too high, he's wary. Hot sector, a lot of money's rushed in. Buy on weakness.
One of the few he's held since 2021, with intermittent trading. He got back in after a consolidation in 2023. He's been living through the volatility without worrying too much. Trend is up, momentum is good, and the story is good. Huge demand on power grid coming from AI, and nuclear is the only solution. Yield is 0.2%.
(Analysts’ price target is $77.54)He has the evidence to show that he's made more by picking entry and exit points in a trading range. He gives stocks the benefit of the doubt, and only sells if a rounding over continues. He's not concerned about the recent rounding over, as he can see the $60 support level on the chart.
