Q: Many companies stand to benefit from the rise of nuclear energy. Is this a good time to invest (long term) in such companies? I am especially interested in the risk-reward profile of the following: Cameco(CCJ), Constellation Energy(CEG), Centrus Energy(LEU) and NexGen Energy(NEX). Are there others that you prefer (Canadian or U.S.)? Or do you believe an ETF focused on uranium/nuclear energy would be a better investment at this time? Thanks for your help. You provide a great service!

Q: I have followed nuclear energy and Cameco for about three decades. It has been a tough investment environment for most of this time. We now are seeing a dynamic change in sentiment and planned expansion in this part of the energy sector. As an optimistic investor heavily invested in uranium stocks, I expect to have further capital gains as nuclear plants are built. However, it appears that some of the new modular reactors will use spent fuel rods as the source of uranium to run their reactors. Do you see this having a significantly negative impact on uranium demand going forward? Also, will the BEP’s Westinghouse purchase be material to the company in an expanding demand for nuclear energy?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: hello 5i:
please comment on the following headline:

NexGen Announces Strategic Purchase of 2.7 Million Pounds of Uranium with Issuance of US$250 Million Convertible Debenture

Obviously the market didn't like it. Did they pay too much for the product? How could this help them going forward? Will the debentures be available for retail buyers and at what price? How does 5i feel about the debentures on a risk/reward basis?
Add as much colour as you feel is relevant.
thanks

Q: I understand that Cameco and the other major uranium producer have lowered their production estimates. As CCJ is locked into contracts they may not even be able to fulfill I don't see how they would benefit from uranium shortage. Would an investor be better looking at uranium as a commodity rather than buying a miner?

Q: I read a piece In the G&M by Rosie on the weekend re: nuclear energy as a potential outperformer. It mentioned the above firms as potential investments. I did a little homework and of the Cdn firms, the only 1's I thought worth investing in were the ETF and ATRL. I was unfamiliar with the U.S. firms . Can you shed some light on them please? I do have positions in Hammond Power, SMCI & Vertiv, which I'm pleased with and am thinking of adding to. Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me to enhance an informed decision.

Q: I currently own URNM, a uranium etf. I'm thinking of switching out of it to equal weights of CCO, DML and NXE. What do you think of this strategy? Are you comfortable with the three producers or is there another one you would swap in? Or do you prefer just to keep URNM? Your thoughts?
