The uranium ledger

Nuclear baseload is what a datacenter buys when it wants power that does not stop, and every reactor runs on enriched uranium.

The price

Nothing collected yet. The price source is verified and named on the shelf below (cameco-uranium-spot), and the line appears the first time the collector writes a point. An empty chart is the correct answer until then.

Uranium rose about 5% to ~$90/lb; UEC fell about 17% to $9.47. Nothing new was filed about operations: no sale, no offering, no guidance, no open-market insider trade. So the gap is sentiment, and the fiscal-year print on September 29 decides whether it was fair. The June frame stands, but at this price the liquid assets cover about 17% of the market cap, up from about 14% in June. After (deep-dive-2026-10-05.md): The print passed every operating test UEC set itself — production up 157% to 82,744 lbs, Christensen cost down to $35.63/lb, first Burke Hollow pounds — and still missed on earnings, because the business is ~83k lbs a quarter (≈$7M of uranium at spot) carrying ~$46M of quarterly operating cost. FY2026 lost $0.28 a share, worse than the $0.21–0.25 the last dossier expected, and $9.9M of that came from a $40M related-party purchase of Uranium Royalty Corp paper the last dossier missed. The frame is unchanged: a well-funded option on U.S. uranium, with liquid backing of ~16% of the price.dossier

2026-09-25editorial noteVerdict changed: A leveraged, no-reserves bet on the U.S. uranium-independence trade dressed as an operating miner — production is real but trivial, the share count is the business model, and at ~300…Before (deep-dive-2026-06-17.md): A leveraged, no-reserves bet on the U.S. uranium-independence trade dressed as an operating miner — production is real but trivial, the share count is the business model, and at ~300x sales you are paying for the spot price and the policy narrative, not the P&L. After (deep-dive-2026-09-25-refresh.md): A quiet summer that moved the stock more than the business. Uranium rose about 5% to ~$90/lb; UEC fell about 17% to $9.47. Nothing new was filed about operations: no sale, no offering, no guidance, no open-market insider trade.

A hand list, not a query: a company carries a beat and no material, so which names are actually exposed to uranium is a judgement. Every published miner and refiner is on companies.
