Foolish take

It looks like Pacifica Partners took profits off the table a little too soon. Shares of Cameco are up by about 107% over the past year, but much of that gain is recent. On Oct. 28, 2025, the stock surged more than 20% after the company announced a deal with the U.S. Government and Brookfield Asset Management.

The new strategic partnership between Cameco, Brookfield, and the U.S. Government is expected to accelerate the global deployment of Westinghouse Electric Company's nuclear reactor technologies. It's also intended to boost supply chains and the nuclear power industrial base in the U.S. and abroad.

The agreement provides for the Government to arrange financing and facilitate permitting and approvals for new Westinghouse nuclear reactors. With an expected aggregate investment value of $80 billion, the deal could go a long way to boost Cameco's revenue stream.

Investors will more than likely get to hear management discuss its new partnership with the government when it reports third-quarter results. The earnings call is scheduled for Nov. 5, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. ET.
