TOMORROW’S TRADE IDEA, TODAY

Not Worried About Poor Earnings

According to Goldman Sachs (GS), Western countries are increasingly interested in utilizing nuclear power. That’s why the investment bank is bullish on Canadian uranium mining company Cameco (CCJ). Cameco is one of the largest players in the uranium mining space. 

Despite disappointing first-quarter earnings with a loss of $7 million, Goldman has raised its 12-month price target for the stock, noting that it looks poised for long-term success. Goldman’s price target now sits at $56 per share, a 10% upside from Monday’s close.

More Secure Supply Chains

Analyst Neil Mehta encourages investors that buying Cameco stock allows them to gain exposure “to the entire value chain of uranium.” Uranium has recently been skyrocketing, and the Global X Uranium ETF (URA) is up around 53% over the past year. 

Mehta also anticipates that countries will look to obtain their uranium from locations with less geopolitical risk in the future. He expects governments to look to Canada versus countries like Russia and Kazakhstan. According to the analyst, this will benefit Cameco from both a volume and price standpoint.

Legislative Changes Ahead

The US recently passed legislation banning imports of low-enriched uranium from Russia in 2028. Energy companies will be forced to find alternative uranium supplies within 90 days of President Biden signing the regulation unless they are granted a waiver. Due to this change, Goldman expects Cameco to see demand for its uranium increase. 

Nuclear energy is becoming more attractive to governments across the globe as a carbon-free means to meet rising electricity demand. According to Goldman, Cameco is positioned to take advantage of this movement as well as energy providers veering away from riskier supply chains.

Are you bullish or bearish on Cameco (CCJ) over the next 12 months?
