Question asked

Uranium

Good morning guys, This week (including today) we witnessed a wild price action on the uranium miners, could you please explain the reason/a behind? I looked for news or articles but couldn't find any. Thanks a lot in advance and have a great weekend

Answer

Hi Dario,

On Thursday night Cameco (CCJ US) the world’s largest publicly listed uranium producer advanced +4.4%, taking it within striking distance of its all-time high and providing bullish sentiment to local names on Friday but this was a small contributor. Earlier in the week a couple of other positives helped push the local uranium space higher:

  • This week’s result from Paladin (PDN) result was ok, holding no nasty surprises, a rare occurrence in recent times.
  • Earlier in the week, Kazatomprom, the world’s largest producer, lowered its production levels for 2026, providing a tailwind to prices.
  • On Friday morning, Cameco announced development delays that will hinder its 2025 production forecasts, providing another tailwind to prices.

We like the ASX uranium miners believing they have started to enjoy some bullish performance reversion which could become meaningful courtesy of their large short positions.
