Energy Fuels Inc. (EFR.TO)

It was in a down slope from 2023 to mid-2025, then moved up and above its 200-day moving average. But then it was rangebound and consolidating, so the moving average didn't matter. You don't want to see a stock break its floor for more than a week, or you're in a world of pain.

Likes the way its built its business. About to be subsidized by US government money, which he doesn't approve of. Believes in the intermediate future of uranium.

Was stuck in a range until breaking out in 2025. Since then, is seeing marginally higher highs. It's now consolidating. If you own, hold on. If it breaks out, buy, but this could remain in consolidation for a while.

He’s a uranium bull for the next 10 years as a result of structural changes in the business. Also, uranium is the obvious winner from the Gulf conflict. Increasing US production. A bull on this name over time. 

His preference, however, is CCO.

Exploded in price. A stock to pursue momentum, but not value.

"The longer the base, the better the case." Broke out hard, and you could even argue it went parabolic. Now taking a rest. Look at a 1-year chart for this one. Broke the neckline top. You can see a small zip up recently, but he'd want to see a base, and it's too early to say.

Absolutely don't buy now. But if it based, he'd look to buy on a breakout.

His firm was on the uranium train before it was cool. This one went parabolic, needs to pause. Can't argue with a big breakout (the longer the base, the bigger the case). Would be healthy for stock to consolidate and then break out again.

Because of the move, no support points on the chart point he can point to. If it starts to move down, each investor has to determine their own "uncle" point.

Sector's been pretty hot, one reason being that data centres will need nuclear power. Stock's gone parabolic, which is when he gets concerned. You want to see if this new level of ~$30 holds. Just because it goes parabolic, doesn't mean it has to come back down to trend. Watch over the next few days to see how it absorbs the massive gain.

On a 3-year chart, you can see the massive breakout. Time to employ some money-management techniques, such as selling down (not out of) your position.

Parabolic. Quadrupled your $$ this year. Time to use those trailing stops via either dollars or percentages. If stock goes up, ratchet up your stop. If stock goes down, take your profits.

Big long base on the 5-year chart. And then it broke out, parabolically, and then consolidated (the pause that refreshes). And now it's made another move, which may lead to another consolidation. As long as it keeps doing that, you're good.

Looking at the move on the chart, this is where it gets kind of sticky. Take a lesson from CCO....

CCO is the bellwether, and a big part of URA, a uranium ETF. On the chart for CCO, you can see that it's had the same move as EFR, but starting to stall out a bit. Starting to consolidate in time. Important support around $85, a 10-15% correction. Likes the chart longer term, but at these high levels it's like flipping a coin. He'd be nervous to put on a big position, especially with his view that a correction is coming in next 1-3 months.

Parabolic, so likely to pull back possibly to the breakout point (~$11 or so). Breakouts are good; if it can stay above that point for 2-3 weeks, then you probably have a winner on your hands. As long as it doesn't break that breakout point, he'd be inclined to buy more. Very good-looking chart.

Not that familiar with the company, but knows the uranium industry really well. Issue with uranium is building the mines. In Saskatchewan, CCO owns all the infrastructure and decides what mines are going to be developed. Focus on a quality uranium play instead.

The acquisition was actually announced in April, ans is just moving towards completion now. Business-wise, we think it is a decent deal to combine the two companies, gain synergies and get a better valuation as a larger company. BUT....it was a very big premium for the deal, and the deal will see EFR issue a lot of new shares. This is what concerned investors, we believe, and the stock is down 33% YTD. The sector has struggled somewhat, but EFR has lots of cash and is expected to be profitable next year. We do not like the momentum, but it looks better at the lower price. For those who really want exposure to the sector we would be OK with a started position today.
