Uranium-related assets have experienced notable gains recently, with Cameco Corp. (CCJ) showing a strong daily breakout on high volume and the uranium exchange-traded fund (ETF) URA reaching multi-year highs. Market analysts attribute this momentum to a shift in economic conditions, described as a regime change from Hedgeye's Quad4 to Quad2 framework, prompting investors to reduce exposure to consumer staples and increase holdings in uranium and related sectors. Investor sentiment suggests a potential bottoming in uranium prices, with expectations that prices may revisit the highs seen in early 2024 within the next 8 to 12 months. Additionally, the leading uranium producer is valued at twice its net asset value (NAV) and trades at a 25 times 2026 EV/EBITDA multiple, a valuation notably higher than that of oil stocks.
2x NAV target for the leading Uranium producer and 25x 2026 EV/EBITDA! Wow. Oil stocks trade at a fraction of that! https://t.co/SWA9HRCVe5
We (luckily) sold the top in Uranium in February 2024. However, I think we're bottoming and about to start the next bull market. As such, we're long $U.UN. I wouldn't be surprised if we test the prior 2024 highs within the next 8-12 months. #uranium https://t.co/U2H400wEbX https://t.co/HPzRsuAteT
