Cameco Offers Second Chance at China Growth Story

Beijing is moving to nuclear to reduce a heavy reliance on coal.

Mentioned: Cameco Corp (CCJ)

We think the market is mispricing narrow-moat uranium miner Cameco (CCJ). Uranium offers a rare growth opportunity in metals and mining. China’s structural slowdown portends the end of a decade-long boom for most commodities--but not for uranium.

Uranium prices have fallen each year from 2011 to 2016, owing to the current supply glut caused by delayed Japanese reactor restarts. This situation shouldn’t last much longer. We expect global uranium demand to rise roughly 40% by 2025, a staggering amount for a commodity that saw next to zero demand growth in the past 10 years.

Maintaining independence and editorial freedom is essential to our mission of empowering investor success. We provide a platform for our authors to report on investments fairly, accurately, and from the investor’s point of view. We also respect individual opinions––they represent the unvarnished thinking of our people and exacting analysis of our research processes. Our authors can publish views that we may or may not agree with, but they show their work, distinguish facts from opinions, and make sure their analysis is clear and in no way misleading or deceptive.

To further protect the integrity of our editorial content, we keep a strict separation between our sales teams and authors to remove any pressure or influence on our analyses and research.
