3 Billionaire’s Just Dumped This Uranium Stock. Time to Buy?
alcfeoh21 / iStock via Getty Images Demand for uranium spiked in 2023, nearly doubling in price. The Federal Reserve said the global price of uranium jumped from $39 per pound at the end of 2022 to over $$70 per pound by last December. It peaked at over $81 a pound in February, but has since pulled back to around $64.60 today.
However, long-term contracts for uranium have recently hit 16-year highs . Reuters reported Cameco ( NYSE:CCJ ), one of the world’s largest uranium miners, said “With a stronger market environment, we’re currently locking in ceilings of about $125 to 130 per pound and floors at about $70 to $75 per pound in market-related contracts.”
The rising demand is being driven by data centers. As artificial intelligence has swept the world, hyperscalers like Amazon ( NASDAQ:AMZN ) and Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) have been pouring more resources into building out greater […]

Cameco: Buy, Sell, or Hold?
Global demand for energy is set to explode. As developing nations grow, their need for more energy will grow, too. In addition, the rise of artificial intelligence is forcing data center providers to reconsider how they power their businesses.
Numerous countries have committed to reducing their carbon footprint by 2050. While renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power are gaining traction, they’re not nearly enough. Recently, 14 financial institutions expressed their desire to triple nuclear capacity by 2050 to reach net-zero emissions targets.
Cameco ( CCJ 1.70%), a major player in the uranium industry, stands to benefit from these changing tides. With global demand for nuclear power anticipated to soar in the long run, Cameco is an appealing stock.
