Cameco Trades Near $85. Here's Why the Uranium Giant Might Be the Safest Way to Play the Nuclear Comeback
Key PointsCameco mines for uranium, produces nuclear fuel, and owns half of nuclear service provider Westinghouse.
Cameco, the uranium giant, is currently trading near $85 per share, and investors should consider this stock as the safest way to play the nuclear comeback, according to market analysts. The shift towards nuclear power is a result of the growing demand for electricity, which far exceeds the world's production capacity. Although clean energy cannot be the sole solution, an all-of-the-above strategy is expected to be the most successful approach, thereby increasing the demand for nuclear energy.
Cameco is poised to benefit from this trend, but it is crucial to understand that this is a long-term opportunity, not a short-term trade. Over the past year, the company's stock has fluctuated between $134 and approximately $85, essentially completing a round trip. The stock started its rise around the same levels it is at presently 12 months ago, only to return to them.
This fluctuation was primarily due to investors' initial excitement over nuclear power before moving on to other investment ideas, which is a common occurrence in Wall Street, where investors often jump from one big idea to another.
