Centrus Energy (LEU) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Centrus Energy Corp stands to benefit from the increasing global demand for nuclear power, particularly as China's nuclear share is experiencing significant growth, moving from near-zero in the 1990s to mid-single digits today. The acceleration in China's nuclear capacity additions is indicative of a rebound in buildout activity, fueled by previously delayed projects coming online, which reflects a potential inflection point for the industry. Additionally, China's development of a complete domestic nuclear supply chain and the scaling of advanced technologies like small modular reactors (SMRs) further reinforce the long-term opportunity within the nuclear sector, supporting a positive outlook for Centrus Energy's stock.
Bears say
Centrus Energy is facing significant challenges due to a long-term decline in nuclear power generation, which has decreased from nearly 18% in the mid-1990s to approximately 9% by 2024, attributed to safety concerns and aging fleets. Additionally, political phase-outs and the rise of alternative energy sources, particularly in Europe, have further exacerbated this decline, impacting demand for the company's Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) segment. Furthermore, a pending ban on Russian LEU and Separative Work Units (SWU) by the end of 2028 is expected to create a material supply gap, putting upward pressure on SWU prices and increasing operational uncertainty.
