CAMECO CORP. $13.39 (Toronto symbol CCO; TSINetwork Rating: Extra Risk) (306-956-6200; www.cameco. com; Shares outstanding: 395.8 million; Market cap: $5.4 billion; Dividend yield 3.0%) is the world’s biggest uranium producer. It has large, high-grade reserves spread across several mining sites; it also has low-cost operations and significant market share. Uranium prices are at their lowest levels in over a decade. However, the company’s long-term contracts have let it report higher sales and earnings. In the three months ended September 30, 2016, Cameco’s sales rose 3.2%, to $670.0 million, from $649.0 million. Earnings per share jumped 25.0%, to $0.25 from $0.20, mostly due to lower costs. Uranium’s long-term outlook is positive, with 66 nuclear reactors under construction worldwide. However, low oil and natural gas prices make that energy less appealing in the near term. That will likely slow plans for new reactors. Meantime, the global suppy of uranium remains considerably higher than demand. Cameco is still a hold.
