Cameco reported strong second-quarter 2025 results, with revenues up 47% year over year to $634 million (CAD 877 million) and adjusted earnings per share surging 410% to $0.51 (CAD 0.71), exceeding Zacks Consensus Estimates. Uranium revenues increased 47% to $510 million, driven by higher sales volume and fixed-price contracts despite a drop in the U.S. dollar spot price. Fuel Services revenues rose 37% to $117 million. The company attributed the earnings surge to stronger equity earnings from its 49% investment in Westinghouse Electric Company, which reported net earnings of CAD 126 million in Q2 2025 versus a loss of CAD 47 million in the prior year. Cameco expects full-year 2025 uranium production of 15.6 million pounds, reaching halfway to its target of 31–34 million pounds, and forecasts uranium revenues between CAD 2.8 and 3.0 billion, with fuel services revenues between $500 million and $550 million. The company projects a 6–10% compound annual growth rate in its share of adjusted EBITDA from Westinghouse over the next five years. Despite a strong performance, Cameco's stock trades at a forward price-to-sales ratio of 13.06, above its five-year median of 6.63 and the industry average of 1.15, with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold). The company maintains a low debt-to-capital ratio of 0.13% and is investing in mine life extensions and capacity increases at McArthur River, Key Lake, and Cigar Lake, positioning itself to benefit from global demand for nuclear energy driven by climate concerns and energy security.

The NYSEARCA:NLR ETF has seen a 47.89% year-to-date return in 2025, driven by rising electricity demand from artificial intelligence data centers, U.S. government policies promoting nuclear expansion, and increased investment in uranium supply chains. The ETF benefits from $541 million in net inflows over the past three months and holds diversified exposure to uranium miners and nuclear operators, including Constellation Energy, BWX Technologies, Cameco, and Uranium Energy Corp. Policy changes, such as reduced licensing timelines and expanded support for small modular reactors (SMRs), are accelerating nuclear capacity growth. Major tech companies like Oracle, Meta, and xAI are driving demand for new nuclear power through large-scale AI data center projects. The ETF's portfolio is structured to balance commodity gains with stable utility returns, and it is projected to reach a $130 NAV with 9.3% upside over the next 12 months.

Cameco, Kazatomprom, and Orano have all released positive first-half 2025 results, citing improved market prices, higher production volumes, and resilient financial performance. Orano reported increased revenue, EBITDA, and operating income due to stronger market conditions and recovery from operational setbacks in Niger. Cameco highlighted solid financial performance across uranium, fuel services, and Westinghouse, with improved expectations for 2025 production and earnings, driven by higher uranium spot prices and Westinghouse’s involvement in the Dukovany project. Kazatomprom reported year-on-year production growth, though with a slight drop in average realised prices due to a 24% decline in uranium spot prices; it maintained its 2025 guidance with a revised sales volume range of 13,500–14,500 tU due to customer delivery schedule changes.

Energy Fuels (UUUU) reported a second-quarter 2025 loss of 10 cents per share, down from a loss of 4 cents in the prior-year quarter, due to a 52% year-over-year decline in revenues and soaring expenses. Revenues totaled $4.2 million, driven by $3.85 million in uranium sales at $77 per pound, down 55% from the previous year. Costs increased significantly, with exploration, development, and processing rising 265% to $9 million, and selling, general, and administration up 118% to $25 million. The company mined 665,000 pounds of uranium from its Pinyon Plain, La Sal, and Pandora mines, with Pinyon Plain producing 635,000 pounds. UUUU secured regulatory approval for the Donald Rare Earth and Mineral Sand Project, one of the world’s richest deposits of heavy rare earth elements (HREEs). Cameco Corporation reported stronger results, with 47% higher revenues and 410% higher adjusted earnings, while Ur Energy reported a wider loss despite a 124% revenue increase. Energy Fuels expects to mine 55,000–80,000 tons of ore with 875,000–1,435,000 pounds of uranium in 2025 and aims to process up to 1 million pounds. It forecasts uranium sales of 350,000 pounds in 2025 and 620,000–880,000 pounds in 2026 under long-term contracts. The company expects to reduce its cost of goods sold to $23–$30 per pound by Q4 2025 and to $30–$40 per pound in Q1 2026, improving gross margins. Despite a premium valuation of 22.95x forward price-to-sales (vs. industry average of 2.63), UUUU shares rose 89.7% year to date, outperforming the sector and S&P 500. The Zacks Rank is #3 (Hold), suggesting a neutral stance for new investors. Uranium prices have declined to $71.50 per pound, down 11.3% year-over-year, due to reduced buying by utilities, though long-term demand remains strong due to clean energy and supply chain diversification away from China. Energy Fuels’ debt-free balance sheet supports its expansion in uranium and rare earth elements, with potential to produce 6 million pounds annually.
