Cameco/$CCJ
Cameco shares fall after Q3 adjusted earnings sharply missed expectations, as a planned Key Lake outage cut production and raised costs while lower Westinghouse earnings also weighed on results.

What the Analysts think about Cameco

Analyst projections of the future price of Cameco stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Cameco has contracts for average annual uranium deliveries above 28 million pounds over the next five years, while utilities are assessing future supply needs. Its market-linked pricing on additional volumes could let it benefit as contracting improves. (Cameco)
Westinghouse adds meaningful growth potential beyond uranium: a US-Korea framework envisages up to eight US reactors, including six AP1000 units, and the Polish project has moved into long-lead component procurement. These projects could create future reactor-services and fuel opportunities if they proceed. (Cameco, Cameco)
Cameco retains financial capacity to manage a cyclical market, with $860 million in cash, $1 billion of debt and a further $1 billion available on its credit facility. Uranium segment earnings before tax were also higher for the first nine months of 2026 than a year earlier. (Cameco)
Cameco narrowed its 2026 uranium production outlook to 19.5–20.5 million pounds from 19.5–21.5 million, after a longer Key Lake shutdown reduced output and raised costs. This highlights the risk that operational setbacks weigh on volumes and margins. (Cameco)
Westinghouse's contribution has weakened: Cameco's share of its net results was a loss of $80 million for the first nine months of 2026, compared with earnings of $32 million a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA also fell. That makes group earnings more exposed to the timing of large project payments. (Cameco)
Westinghouse's reactor-growth plans are not yet contracted cash flow: the US-Korea framework is non-binding and still needs definitive agreements, approvals and financing. Reuters also reported that the scale of potential cost savings from early component procurement remains uncertain. (Cameco, Reuters)
