Millionaire-Maker Stock: Could This Uranium Bull Market Give You 20x Your Money?

Early investors of the last uranium bull market were able to get 20 times their money. There are signs of a new uranium bull market. Here’s how you can profit!

| More on:

After a long bear market in uranium shown via the Global X Uranium ETF chart below, it’s showing signs of a potential turnaround. The ETF’s top 10 holdings include Cameco (TSX:CCO)(NYSE:CCJ), NexGen Energy (TSX:NXE), and Denison Mines.

URA Total Return Level Chart

URA Total Return Level data by YCharts.

Some investors believe a uranium bull market has just begun this year. One of the largest global providers of uranium is Cameco. The stock has appreciated more than 50% year to date.

As the world population grows, energy demand is expected to persistently increase. Uranium as a source of energy is a part of that solution. The usage of uranium supports the world’s shift to carbon-free energy. While the U.S. is the largest nuclear power generator, accounting for about a third of global nuclear power, China and Japan are the fastest-growing nuclear power markets.

Cameco outlined nuclear power’s role in taking part in electrification and decarbonization, as nuclear power plants are designed to operate long cycles, carbon-free, reliable, and safe. Additionally, nuclear power is suitable for baseload electricity generation, and strategic inventory can help guard against supply disruptions.

The International Energy Agency projected nuclear energy to remain a low-cost, low-carbon generation for the medium term. “Electricity produced from nuclear long-term operation… is highly competitive and remains not only the least cost option for low-carbon generation… but for all power generation across the board… Nuclear thus remains the dispatchable low-carbon technology with the lowest expected costs in 2025.”

Since Cameco is a large player with a market cap of more than $10 billion, it’s not surprising that it’s already trading at full valuation according to analysts’ 12-month price target. If uranium prices continue to head higher, it would be no problem for investors as price targets for Cameco stock will simply be revised higher.

Smaller uranium stocks for consideration

Smaller players like NexGen Energy with a market cap of $2.7 billion and Fission Uranium with a market cap of $412 million have a smaller following and therefore could be better bargains.

Analysts believe they have a near-term upside potential of about 10% and 54%, respectively. But again, if uranium prices cooperate, their targets will be increased.

NexGen is headquartered in Vancouver with a focus on acquiring, exploring, and developing Canadian uranium projects. It has a highly experienced team of uranium industry professionals with a successful track record in the discovery of uranium deposits and in developing projects from discovery to production.

The company owns a portfolio of prospective uranium exploration assets in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan.

In NexGen’s May presentation, it quoted Bill Gates, “Nuclear is ideal for dealing with climate change because it is the only carbon-free, scalable energy source that’s available 24 hours a day.”

The Foolish takeaway

The last uranium bull market provided 20-baggers for investors in uranium stocks. As we’re still early in this potential uranium bull market, it could be super lucrative to have some exposure to uranium stocks for multi-bagger returns over the next decade or so.

Buying individual uranium producers could be risky, especially if you buy small players with small mining portfolios or haven’t started producing yet. If you’re bullish on uranium prices, buying a uranium exchange-traded fund like Global X Uranium ETF would provide much more diversification and reduce the risk of your investment.

You can also consider another similar uranium ETF that trades on a Canadian stock exchange: Horizons Global Uranium Index ETF.
