Today we are talking about the company Cameco: $CCO (-2.79%)
What is Cameco and what does it do?
Cameco is a Canadian company that focuses on uranium mining. They are one of the world's largest uranium producers. This means that they extract uranium from mines and then sell it for various purposes. Uranium is used as fuel in nuclear power plants to generate electricity. Cameco therefore plays an important role in the energy supply.
Market capitalization:
Cameco currently has a market capitalization of around 18.8 billion euros.
Strengths of the share:
Some of Cameco's strengths:
- Experience and expertise: Cameco has many years of experience in uranium mining and has established itself as one of the leading players in the industry. They have extensive knowledge and expertise in the mining, processing and distribution of uranium.
- Extensive resources: Cameco owns and operates various uranium mines around the world. This gives them access to extensive uranium deposits and ensures a stable supply.
- Sustainability: Cameco attaches great importance to sustainability and follows environmentally friendly practices in uranium mining. They are committed to protecting the environment and minimizing impacts on the communities in which they operate.
- Global Presence: Cameco operates internationally and has customers all over the world. They have a strong presence in different countries and can therefore respond to different market conditions.
Share Weaknesses:
Here are some weaknesses of Cameco:
- Dependence on uranium prices: Cameco is highly dependent on price fluctuations in the uranium market. If prices fall, this can have a negative impact on its profits.
- Regulatory challenges: The uranium industry is subject to strict regulatory requirements, particularly in relation to safety and environmental protection. Cameco must ensure that it complies with all regulations and standards, which may entail additional costs and administrative effort.
- Market dependence: As Cameco is mainly active in uranium mining, it is heavily dependent on the demand for uranium as fuel for nuclear power plants. Changes in energy policy or the increased use of renewable energies could have a negative impact on the demand for uranium.
- Risks associated with mining operations: The mining of uranium is associated with various risks, including geological challenges, industrial accidents and environmental impacts. Cameco must manage these risks effectively to avoid negative consequences.
- Volatility of global markets: The uranium industry is influenced by developments in global markets, political decisions and geopolitical events. These factors can lead to uncertainties and fluctuations that can affect Cameco's business.
A little more about the business model:
Cameco is a leader in the uranium industry and has a diverse business model. Its main objective is to mine, process and sell uranium to meet the growing demand for nuclear energy worldwide.
The first pillar of its business model is uranium production. Cameco operates its own mines in Canada, the USA and Kazakhstan, which contain some of the world's largest and highest quality uranium deposits. By mining uranium ore, they obtain the raw material for further processing.
The second pillar is uranium processing. Cameco operates refineries and conversion plants in which the mined uranium ore is converted into concentrated uranium oxide. This concentrated uranium oxide is then processed into fuel rods for nuclear power plants.
The third pillar is the sale of uranium products. Cameco has long-term supply contracts with nuclear power plant operators around the world to provide them with a reliable supply of uranium. They offer different types of uranium products to meet the needs of their customers.
In addition, Cameco also has a diversified portfolio of investments in other companies in the uranium industry. They invest in projects to develop new mines and explore new uranium deposits to further expand their business and secure future growth.
An important aspect of Cameco's business model is also their focus on sustainability. They are committed to conducting their operations in an environmentally friendly manner and adhering to the highest standards of safety and environmental protection.
A little more about the industry:
The industry in which Cameco operates is the uranium industry. They are a leading company in this field and focus on mining, processing and selling uranium. The nuclear energy industry is an important consumer of uranium as it is used as fuel for nuclear power plants. Cameco plays a critical role in supplying uranium products to nuclear power plant operators around the world. They strive to maintain the highest standards of safety, environmental protection and sustainability to ensure the responsible and sustainable development of the industry.
When and where was Cameco founded?
Cameco was founded in Canada in 1988. It was formed from the merger of two companies, Eldorado Nuclear Limited and Saskatchewan Mining Development Corporation. Eldorado was a public company and Saskatchewan Mining was a private company. The merger created one of the largest uranium producers in the world. Cameco has since expanded its business globally and is now a leading player in the uranium industry.
Cameco's goal:
Cameco's objective is to ensure a reliable and sustainable supply of uranium products for the nuclear energy industry. Their focus is to help their customers achieve their financial goals and manage their assets effectively. They place great emphasis on safety, environmental protection and sustainability in all aspects of their business. Cameco is also involved in the community and supports education and development programs in the regions in which they operate. Their goal is to drive responsible and sustainable development of the uranium industry and make a positive contribution to society.
Your opinion:
Now I would like to hear your opinion on this share in the comments.
I personally find the company very interesting and will continue to monitor it. It was an unknown company to me until recently, but that's exactly why I wanted to introduce you to the share.
What do you think of Cameco and were you already familiar with this company?
Do you already have the share in your portfolio?
Please let me know in the comments.
This is of course not investment advice but just my own opinion that I would like to share with you.
Uranium has risen 66% since one year
Cameco had a 95% increase in price
I can well imagine that they have risen because of the wars, now because of nuclear weapons or even uranium ammunition
Now the question is how dependent they are on the current uranium price but if the uranium price corrects, the company will quickly feel it
Short-term dip in this uranium share and in Uranium Royalty $URC (-5.85%) I still see potential for this year. This rally does not seem to be well known. What do you think of the story?
Maybe it's because uranium still has a dingy image in Germany.
Anyway, I had a good performance with uranium stocks in 2023. I swapped my $CCO holding for $KZAP at the end of the year because CCJ was way ahead of its figures.
Of course, $YCA is also solid. And my favorite uranium stock that nobody knows: $MGA The BB Biotech of the uranium sector. 😅
Today I'm going to take a look at uranium stocks from my perspective as a radiation protection engineer:
From today's perspective, the demand for uranium will increase, not decrease, by 2027. Production is currently not keeping pace and demand is very high. I therefore see uranium share prices continuing to rise until 2027.
Which ones are currently popular?
In addition to the strong Cameco $CCO (-2.79%) and Nexgen Energy $NXG there is also Kazatomprom $KZAP . All three have had a very good rally to date and are expected to constantly exceed their all-time high until 2027.
From today's perspective, I think one share is still undervalued alongside Kazatomprom: $YCA (+3.97%) Yellow Cake, these do not produce uranium directly but rather act as holders of uranium and uranium trading.
Cameco: P/E 102, growth 96%, 0.2% div
Nexgen: P/E 45, growth 65%, 0% div
Kazatomprom: P/E 15, 1Y: 46%,4%Div
Yellow Cake: P/E 4, 1Y growth 85%, 0% div
I personally have Cameco in my savings plan, but I think this company and Nexgen are overvalued. I also have shares in Kazatomprom and Yellow Cake.
What does the future look like? Even after 2027, things will not get less for producers. From today's perspective, over 120 new pressurized water reactors of the EPR type will be built by 2035. However, the price will increasingly fall again. Anyone who thinks that Germany is going to stop, I'm afraid I have to put a spanner in the works. Although no conventional reactors are being built and we are in the process of dismantling them, dual-fluid reactors or small SMR-type reactors are. These have the possibility of reusing the nuclear waste. Companies and cooperation with the following companies are required for the construction:
Mitsubishi Heavy $7011 (-0.23%) ( power plant construction)
Hitachi $HIA (power plant construction)
RWE $RWE (+4.16%) (invested in Poland and the Netherlands via Urenco)
Brookfield $BN (+0%) (main shareholder Westinghouse)
Engie Electrabel $ENGI (+0.44%) (ECS)
Mutares SE $MUX (-3.79%) (dismantling of nuclear power plants)
General Electric $GEC (reactor construction (among others)
Others are unfortunately only limited liability companies.
Conventional nuclear waste is also disposed of with other reactor types. However, the process will continue to develop until around 2050.
If you have any further questions, please write to me.
The higher the price of the raw material, the higher the follow-up costs of processing. In this case, nuclear power becomes more expensive. Companies are generally interested in maximizing profits, which is why rising costs lead to falling margins for operators, because the price of electricity must remain low in order to ensure the competitiveness of the country as a whole.
In this respect, there will be significant corrections to many commodities on the world market in the foreseeable future, at the latest with the reintegration of Russia. Uranium, potash and also crude oil will correct significantly following the trend of the last year, taking into account the competition from RE investment offensives and subsidy programs.
Today I wanted to present my experiences since my first own investments.
To start: I am 39 and my interest in the market began in August 23.
My professional expertise lies particularly in product development and nuclear technology.
I have 2 degrees (engineering with a focus on product development and radiation protection engineer) and 2 apprenticeships as an automotive mechatronics technician and radiation protection specialist. After 7 years of working in product development, I left this profession completely and currently work in radiation protection at various nuclear facilities and power plants worldwide.
Intended for retirement: I had previously invested, 5 years with Targobank, 3 years with DVAG/Generali through unit-linked pension insurance. With the result of -40% of the invested money plus liquidation costs of approx. -30%.
So I started to do some research. Like many others, I initially had hardly any experience in the sector and started by investing a few euros in some no-name companies. At a loss.
I read up and quickly found access to Getquin. I tried back and forth and of course listened to "Trust me, brother". With losses.
Now I've gained enough experience and found the ideal strategy for me: Diversity but not at the expense of performance.
Savings plan: €350 is increased annually.

Zero display in Getquin I am currently too lazy to enter everything manually.
Strategy: Buy and Hold
I also invest between €2,000 and €6,000 2-3 times a year in addition to my savings plan.
Furthermore, I actively use Solana crypto (partially staked) and reinvest the profits in other shares or increase my holdings.
Why not Bitcoin: In my opinion, Solana has always performed better than Bitcoin to date.
Strategy: Time to market
Investment time: min. 15 years
In the medium term, I will also open a company portfolio and implement the savings plan strategy.
In the long term, it will remain at €1500 crypto. However, the ETF and share holdings will increase.
I look forward to your feedback.
Best regards
