Company Snapshot

  • Produces and sells uranium, as well as providing uranium refining, conversion, and fuel fabrication services.
  • Generates revenue primarily through uranium mining and fuel services, supplying nuclear utilities globally.
  • Serves nuclear utilities in the Americas, Europe, and Asia as its main customer base.
  • Cameco Corporation is a leading uranium producer with a vertically integrated business model spanning mining, refining, and fuel fabrication. The company leverages its expertise to supply critical nuclear fuel components to power utilities worldwide.

Foolish take

Railway Pension Investments just sold off its entire $122.8 million stake in Cameco Corporation stock, completely exiting the uranium producer after an incredible run. The shares have more than doubled in 2025, soaring over 100% as the world's interest in nuclear energy keeps accelerating. This move is most likely just taking profits after the huge rally, especially since Cameco's core business is still very strong.

As one of the world’s biggest uranium suppliers, Cameco is benefiting from the growing need for clean, reliable baseload power during the energy transition. Its fully integrated model—from mining and refining to fuel fabrication—positions it perfectly to meet the rising demand from power companies globally. While things like uranium prices and geopolitics can cause some volatility, Cameco’s size and long-term contracts give it a solid base. Railway Pension’s exit seems less about worrying over the company’s future and more about locking in gains after a fantastic year for both nuclear power sentiment and the stock’s performance.
