Cameco, Applied Digital, West Pharmaceutical And More On CNBC's 'Final Trades'

Nuclear energy stocks and ETFs have come to the fore as ARK Invest&#8217;s founder Cathie Wood <a href="https://www.ark-invest.com/articles/analyst-research/nuclear-energy-could-contribute-meaningfully-to-securing-net-zero-emissions">reshared the firm&#8217;s study </a>on how regulatory hurdles and anti-nuclear sentiment have caused cost overruns and rendered nuclear energy less cost-competitive than natural gas today.
This comes as Tesla Inc. and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is all set to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) along with Republican politician Vivek Ramaswamy. As the task force promises to dismantle bureaucracy, reduce regulations, and cut wasteful expenditures, ARKinvest tried to redirect DOGE&#8217;s official page on X (formerly Twitter) to focus on the regulatory hurdles that nuclear energy as a sector has faced in the last 20 years.

What Happened: &#8220;The International Energy Agency has identified nuclear energy as vital to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, yet nuclear power in the United States has stagnated at ~20% of the energy mix since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986,&#8221; said an ARKInvest note based on data from IEA as of October 2023.
In addition to its cost-effectiveness, nuclear power provides a reliable, continuous, and carbon-free supply of energy. These are important now since an explosion in demand for artificial intelligence is taxing the electricity consumption of data centers.

Daniel Maguire, research associate at ARKInvest stated in his report dated April 2024 that stringent regulatory changes and anti-nuclear sentiment have stunted the build-out of nuclear capacity and caused cost overruns in developing US nuclear plants.
Regulatory changes in the mid-to-late seventies, including the establishment of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Energy Research and Development Administration, introduced stricter licensing measures, increasing costs significantly. Without such stringent regulations, ARKInvest&#8217;s research suggests that lower cost trajectories could have saved the US about $345 billion, or ~72% of the total.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="754" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18014702/Nuclear-plan-costs-1024x754.png" alt="" class="wp-image-652244" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18014702/Nuclear-plan-costs-1024x754.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18014702/Nuclear-plan-costs-300x221.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18014702/Nuclear-plan-costs-768x566.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18014702/Nuclear-plan-costs.png 1466w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Why It Matters: With the introduction of the U.S. Advanced Reactor Demonstration Project and other emerging government support programs, nuclear cost overruns should reverse course as countries look for robust clean energy solutions to meet their net carbon emissions reduction commitments.
Maguire&#8217;s tweet shared by Wood, tagged the Department of Government Efficiency, to bring this to light. The department is scheduled to complete its work by July 4, 2026, coinciding with America's 250th independence anniversary. Focus on this area could help spur activity in the nuclear energy sector by developing clean, carbon-free energy production avenues at lower costs.

Shares of uranium stocks are trading higher following a report suggesting Russia has imposed temporary restrictions on the export of enriched uranium to the US.

Russia Has Imposed Temporary Restrictions On The Export Of Enriched Uranium To The U.S.; Russian Government Says Exception Is For Supplies Under One-Off Licences Issued By Federal Service For Technical And Export Control

Following the election of Donald J. Trump to a second non-consecutive term, global capital markets have generally responded well to the news. However, one of the strongest beneficiaries of this electoral boost has been the cryptocurrency sector. With the total valuation of the digital asset ecosystem recently eclipsing the $3 trillion mark, investors clearly embrace the incoming Trump administration's potentially favorable policies.
Indeed, some blockchain advocates have declared that Trump's victory will represent a "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41867357/trump-victory-signals-golden-era-for-us-crypto-says-binance-ceo-as-bitcoin-tops-77k-for-first-time">golden era</a>" for virtual currencies. Those bullish on the sector are predicting the arrival of new federal regulators that are open to cryptocurrencies, according to a report by the Financial Times. Plus, these decentralized assets could converge with favorable macroeconomic conditions, leading to a possible blockchain renaissance.
At the same time, demand continues to skyrocket for artificial intelligence. Multiple top-tier companies – including Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) – are all<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41357341/as-nvidia-apple-and-microsoft-race-towards-4-trillion-valuation-generative-ai-startups-reportedly-dr"> racing toward a $4 trillion valuation</a>. What's more, experts project that generative AI can have a $1 trillion impact just on the U.S. economy.
However, the underlying motif behind these and other digital innovations is energy: crypto mining and generative AI protocols consume a lot of it. As a result, it may not be possible for government agencies to have a discussion about leadership in these critical areas without mentioning nuclear power. It's no shock, then, that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/40044763/uranium-prices-surge-to-16-year-highs-due-to-supply-uncertainties-rising-demand-for-ai-data-centers"> uranium prices have been moving higher</a> over the last several months due to supply concerns and blistering demand.
The Direxion ETF: Should the trajectory continue unabated, traders who don't mind absorbing higher risk for potentially robust rewards may consider the Direxion Daily Uranium Industry Bull 2X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URAA#NYSE">URAA</a>). A leveraged exchange-traded fund for the true optimist, URAA seeks the daily investment results of 200% of the performance of the Solactive United States Uranium and Nuclear Energy ETF Select Index.
One of the main advantages of this ETF is convenience. Unlike a complex, multi-leg options trade, investors can simply buy units of URAA, much like they would securities of a publicly traded company. Second, the fund features a basket of diverse companies. While the powerhouse Cameco Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>) tops the list, the ETF also includes less accessible entities, such as Kazakhstan's national operator Kazatomprom.
Of course, every opportunity in the market carries risks. For URAA, the 2X leverage makes the ETF wildly choppy. In addition, investors must avoid exposure lasting longer than one day. Holding URAA for longer than recommended may expose the trader to valuation decay due to the daily compounding of volatility.
The URAA Chart: Since its debut in late June of this year, Direxion's leveraged uranium fund has declined by more than 10%. However, fundamental demand for the energy source will likely be a talking point among investors.
<ul>
<li>Since hitting a closing high of $29.60 on Oct. 18, the URAA ETF has noticeably declined in market value, presenting some concerns for prospective speculators.</li>
<li>At the same time, the $22 technical support line appears to be holding well. Since the end of September, the bears have attempted to drive the price tag down to this point but have so far failed.</li>
<li>The midweek session saw a significant decline of 4% to $22.82. However, the bulls will be hoping for a turnaround given the aforementioned strength of the $22 support line.</li>

Cameco shares are trading higher after the company raised its FY24 revenue guidance.

We continue to expect strong cash flow generation. Due to the continued strengthening of the US dollar, we have updated our exchange rate assumption to reflect the average rate year-to-date in 2024 of $1.00 (US) for $1.35 (Cdn) (previously $1.00 (US) for $1.30 (Cdn)). As a result, our expected uranium average realized price increased to $77.80 per pound (previously $74.70 per pound), driving up several financial outlook metrics, including estimated consolidated revenue for the year, which is now expected to be about $3.01 billion to $3.16 billion (previously $2.85 billion to $3.0 billion), and our outlook for our share of Westinghouse's 2024 adjusted EBITDA, which is now expected to be between $460 million and $530 million (previously $445 million to $510 million).&nbsp;

Guidance

Cameco Raised FY24 Guidance For FY24 Revenue To $3.01B-$3.16B (From $2.85B-$3B) Vs $2.99B Estimate

Cameco Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

Once sidelined in favor of renewable sources, Goldman Sachs analysts suggest we are in the &#8220;early stages of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nuclear-energy">nuclear renaissance in the U.S.&#8221;</a> 
Growing support from governments and major investments from tech giants like Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) are driving the momentum. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nuclear Power's Growing Role In Data Center Energy Demand</h3>
Goldman Sachs analysts, led by Brian Singer, highlight the mounting pressures of data center power needs, which they estimate will grow 165% by 2030 compared to 2023 levels.
This surge in demand is motivating &#8220;Big Tech&#8221; to diversify power sources, with a notable shift towards nuclear energy. 
&#8220;We continue to see Big Tech taking an all-in approach to sourcing power and pursuing low-carbon solutions,&#8221; Singer stated. 
He added, "While we continue to assume renewables will meet only 40% of data center power demand growth through 2030, we see potential for a significant rise in nuclear's share in the 2030s."
The limitations of renewable energy sources like solar and wind, which require substantial land, have made nuclear a compelling alternative. According to Singer, natural gas and nuclear require a much more modest acreage footprint versus utility-scale solar.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) On The Rise</h3>
The development of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), which are more compact and versatile than traditional reactors, is at the center of this nuclear resurgence. 
Hyperscale cloud providers, including Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, have already signed multiple contracts for SMR technology, aiming to power their expanding data centers with low-carbon, reliable energy.
"The prospects of more localized, onsite low-carbon reliable power has led to a surge in contracting by hyperscalers to support the development of small modular nuclear reactors,&#8221; the analysts wrote. 
Beyond SMRs, large-scale nuclear projects are also gaining momentum. 
Constellation Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NYSE">CEG</a>) recently announced it would bring back online a dormant unit at the Three Mile Island plant, backed by a "take-or-pay" power contract with Microsoft. 
According to the Goldman Sachs report, this could be just the beginning, with "potential for approximately two additional plants to be brought online in the U.S." over the next several years.
"Recognition of accelerated power demand growth from utilities is leading to greater willingness to consider new large-scale reactors," said Singer.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Governments Rethink Nuclear Amidst Energy Security Concerns</h3>
The policy landscape around nuclear energy is also shifting as countries worldwide seek stable and sustainable energy sources. "We're seeing greater support by governments across the globe," said Singer. 
"Switzerland is reconsidering nuclear, there's bipartisan support in the U.S., and even Australia's opposition party has proposed integrating nuclear into the country's energy mix." 
He indicated that at COP28, there was a global agreement to triple nuclear capacity by 2050—a significant signal that the nuclear narrative is changing.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Uranium Sourcing Challenges</h3>
Uranium sourcing remains a complex issue, with nearly half of global uranium supply controlled by China, Russia, and Kazakhstan. 
In contrast, Europe and the Americas source about 30% of uranium production, hold 56% of conversion capacity, and 41% of enrichment capacity. 
"We expect greater clarity on rules and confidence surrounding uranium sourcing will be key to moving forward with a meaningful ramp-up in nuclear generation capacity in the U.S. and Europe," Singer explained.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cameco Corporation Positioned To Benefit From Nuclear Revival</h3>
Among the companies poised to benefit from this nuclear revival, Cameco Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>) stands out as the key gainer according to Goldman Sachs. 
"We see Cameco's positioning across the entirety of the fuel cycle as a key driver underpinning our constructive view on the stock," said Singer.
Cameco&#8217;s operations span mining, conversion, enrichment, and fuel fabrication. Goldman Sachs suggests the company is well-positioned to support both traditional and emerging nuclear energy applications.
The investment bank holds a &#8216;Buy&#8217; rating on the stock, with a 12-month price target of $61. This implies a 20% rally from current market levels.

Goldman Sachs Sees 'Early Stages Of Nuclear Renaissance In US:' Analysts Highlight Top Stock Poised To Benefit From Data Centers' Energy Demand

Nuclear stocks are trading lower across the board on Monday after regulators rejected Talen Energy Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLN#NASDAQ">TLN</a>) plans to increase power for an Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g41704326/talen-energy-statement-on-ferc-order-rejecting-susquehanna-isa">data center</a>. 
What Happened: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on Friday rejected Talen Energy&#8217;s request to increase how much power its Susquehanna nuclear plant in Pennsylvania can provide to Amazon Web Services.
According to a CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/04/tech-partnerships-with-power-companies-for-ai-in-doubt-after-ferc-order.html">report</a>, Talen Energy sold a data center campus to Amazon in March for $650 million. The company had filed a request to increase the power dispatched to the facility from 300 megawatts to 480 megawatts, but FERC shot it down, saying the arrangement could have &#8220;huge ramifications&#8221; on grid reliability and consumer costs. 
Talen issued a statement in response to the order rejecting its amended plans, saying it believes FERC &#8220;erred&#8221; in its decision. The company noted that it&#8217;s evaluating its options with a focus on commercial solutions. 
&#8220;We believe this ISA amendment is just and reasonable and in the best interest of consumers. FERC&#8217;s decision will have a chilling effect on economic development in states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New Jersey,&#8221; the company said in the statement.
Talen noted that the existing agreement allows for 300 MW of co-located load at Susquehanna. Despite the rejected amendment, Talen said it can still proceed with development of the first phases of the Amazon Web Services data center campus using the 300 MW while it continues to pursue approval of an amended agreement.

Several nuclear stocks are falling Monday after rallying over the past month. Constellation Energy Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>) and Vistra Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) were down 10.5% and 2.2%, respectively, in sympathy with Talen.
Oklo Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>), which is chaired by OpenAI&#8217;s Sam Altman, has been one of the most popular nuclear plays in recent weeks. It was down 6.65% at $20.22 at the time of writing. 
Other small modular reactor (SMR) companies like NuScale Power Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMR#NYSE">SMR</a>) and Nano Nuclear Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNE#NASDAQ">NNE</a>), were also trading lower, down 2.5% and 10.2%, respectively. 
Nuclear fuel names have also seen increased attention in recent weeks. Shares of uranium fuel producer Cameco Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>) were down more than 2% at the time of writing. Shares of Lightbridge Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LTBR#NASDAQ">LTBR</a>), a nuclear fuel technology company, were down 1.93% at last check. 
Shares of ASP Isotopes Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASPI#NASDAQ">ASPI</a>), which signed a deal with Bill Gates-backed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41624818/asp-isotopes-stock-is-soaring-wednesday-whats-going-on">TerraPower</a> last week and has seen increased attention across social platforms in recent weeks, were down about 14% at the time of writing. 
The VanEck Uranium And Nuclear ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NLR#NYSE">NLR</a>) was down 3.22% and the Global X Uranium ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URA#NYSE">URA</a>) was down 2.37% in afternoon trading Monday.
Despite Monday&#8217;s pullback, nuclear stocks are still up significantly over the past month driven by an increased focus on nuclear from hyperscalers aiming to keep up with the rising energy demands of data centers related to the AI boom.
