Uranium Equities

You're still quite bullish on Uranium stocks. However, the value of my holdings has halved over the last few months, which isn't exactly what I'd call a 'dip'. It's a considerable pullback and the spot price has been stagnant or negative for the same length of time. Why do you think investors are so wary of a sector that has such an undeniable supply/demand situation? Equity prices, on the ASX at least, just don't seem to reflect the reality of the circumstances.

Answer

Hi David,

There have been a couple stock situations which have caused significant underperformance by a couple of major ASX uranium stocks:

  • Paladin Energy (PDD) which MM bought into weakness has dropped another 15-20% after bidding $1.25bn for Canadian Fission Uranium (FCU CN), the subsequent weakness in the PDN share price is frustrating but we like their strategic move in-line with our positive outlook towards uranium and nuclear energy.
  • Boss Energy (BOE) which MM called down to $4 has extended its pullback to $3.80 after the CEO unloaded 70% of his holding onto the market, not a great look.

However both of these pullbacks, from top to bottom are only 33% and 38% respectively, we caught the PDN falling Kinfe a touch too soon. Uranium ETF’s are only down ~15% so it has been a tough time for the sector but we continue to regard it as a buying opportunity. The crux of your question shows the volatile nature of the sector, so positions should be sized accordingly.
