Uranium producer Cameco is trading close to its all-time high of $124 per share. The company is a supplier to the nuclear power industry, not a power producer. With rising demand for nuclear power, Cameco’s stock price has soared over 800% in the past five years.

Cameco recently acquired half of Westinghouse, a reliable cash-flow generator. Uranium mining is volatile due to commodity price swings. Despite using long-term contracts, Cameco’s cash flows are impacted by supply and demand dynamics. The growing demand for nuclear power is boosting the uranium sector.

Despite the high valuation, investing in Cameco depends on believing in future supply-demand dynamics. Wall Street is factoring in potential long-term opportunities.
