Top 3 Uranium Stocks to Buy in 2021

April 16, 2021 By admin Leave a Comment

Uranium and nuclear energy have a bad rep. But is that justified? As we move further into renewable energy, tables are turning. More nuclear projects are coming online and it’s a perfect setup for the best uranium stocks.

The companies below focus on mining and processing uranium. So, as demand climbs, these stocks should do well…

  • Cameco (NYSE: CCJ)
  • Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE: UEC)
  • Ur-Energy (NYSE: URG)

Before we dive into these investing opportunities, let’s look at key industry trends. The market is slowly moving away from fossil fuels and nuclear is a top contender…

Is Uranium and Nuclear Energy Safe Going Forward?

To see where we’re going, we must look back. On top that, it’s useful to understand market sentiment. The public image of nuclear energy isn’t great…

When you ask people their opinion on nuclear, you’ll often hear about Three Mile Island, Chernobyl or Fukushima Daiichi. The memories of these disasters have stuck in peoples’ minds. There’s been a lot of negative press and that’s likely led to less people investing in uranium stocks.

Although, the sentiment is changing as more people step back and look at the facts…

First off, nuclear disasters are rare. Back in 1986, Chernobyl was the worst on record. The World Health Organization released a 600-page report on the disaster. Based on the work of hundreds of scientists, economists, and health experts, it showed the total number of radiation-related deaths is likely to be around 4,000.

That’s a sobering statistic to be sure. But let’s compare it to deaths from our main energy source today – fossil fuels.

According to the WHO, millions of people die from the air pollution caused by fossil fuels each year. The long-term effects on our environment could be even worse.

I’m neither pro-nuclear or anti-coal. Instead, I’m bringing up these stats only because many people overlook these truths. Nuclear energy is both cleaner and safer than many people believe.

More people and governments are realizing this. The tides are changing and I’ll explain the potential for nuclear energy below. But first, let’s look at the top uranium stocks in more detail…

Best Uranium Stocks to Buy

Cameco is the world’s largest publicly traded uranium company. The company has 455 million pounds of proven and probable mineral reserves. And annually, it has licensed capacity to produce more than 53 million pounds of uranium concentrates.

To lower geo and political risk, Cameco operates projects around the world. It has a large footprint in Canada, but also in the U.S., Australia and Kazakhstan. So, as global uranium demand increases, this top uranium stock should see higher returns.

Uranium Energy Corp. is a mining and exploration company based in the U.S. It has projects in Texas, Wyoming, Paraguay, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Canada. So, it has some diversification benefit as well.

One unique thing that sets UEC apart is that it’s unhedged. It has no contracts at pre-set prices. It’s highly leveraged to uranium’s price compared to all other uranium miners globally. This uranium stock also made our list of top energy penny stocks.

Ur-Energy is a junior mining company with a lot of room to grow. Its main operation is the Lost Creek uranium facility in Wyoming. It has a physical design capacity of two million pounds per year.

Ur-Energy’s newest project is Shirley Basin. It acquired this asset in 2013 and has gone through a wide range of applications and assessments. As this project progresses, it might produce up to 6.3 million pounds of U3O8, a compound of uranium.

The Future of Uranium and Nuclear Energy

Nuclear energy makes up about 70% of total energy production in France. But in other countries, it’s a much smaller portion. In recent years in the U.S., it’s made up as high as 20% of the total.

Nuclear energy can claim a much larger piece of the pie. And the pie is growing as energy consumption increases around the globe.

As governments are realizing nuclear is a better option, they’re approving more nuclear projects. In 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved the construction of four new reactors. That was the first time that had happened since the 1970s.

More public and private investments are going into nuclear energy as well. Bill Gates has even launched a nuclear innovation company, TerraPower. There are many projects on the horizon with a push for renewable energy.

So, the future for nuclear energy and uranium looks bright. And the top uranium stocks might deliver some big returns in the years ahead.
