LEU remains in a Stage 4 decline with persistent lower highs and lower lows below declining short- and intermediate-term EMAs. Medium-term bias is bearish, while short-term shows an oversold bounce but no clear rally acceptance above EMAs. Execution is best deferred, looking to trim into rallies at the 9/21 EMA and prior minor highs.

Bull points

  • This past quarter, we continued on this progress by winning a DOE contract award for LEU enrichment, further strengthening our capital position by issuing $402.5 million of convertible senior notes, accelerating centrifuge manufacturing preparation while de-risking our American-only supply chain to strengthen our first mover advantage, and delivering to the Department of Energy a total of 545 kgs of HALU to date in Phase 2 of the operations contract.
  • In the fourth quarter, we significantly strengthened our balance sheet by closing over 400 million of convertible notes. This move facilitated our ability to begin investing in our future. And in late November, we announced an approximately $60 million investment to resume centrifuge manufacturing activities and expand our manufacturing capacity at our Oak Ridge facility over the next 18 months.
  • bullish about the need to restore American-owned production of enriched uranium.

Bear points

We will use the majority of this LEU to satisfy pending orders to a single customer on a delayed basis.
