Stocks · News reference
Shares of uranium and nuclear-related companies are trading higher amid multiple catalysts including reciprocal Canadian tariffs on U.S. imports, which may hinder Canadian uranium exports to the U.S. if the trade dispute worsens. Also, the U.S. Department of Energy's extension of a $1.9 billion loan to NextEra Energy to restart an Iowa nuclear facility helps to underpin both future demand and government commitment to the sector.

Cameco Stock Is Down 42% From Its Record. Here's How I'd Buy It Around Its Oct. 30 Report.
Cameco's stock has fallen 42% from its January peak to $78.60, driven by broad market sell-offs and interest rate concerns rather than uranium fundamentals.
