Cameco is the world's second-largest uranium producer by production volume and the largest uranium company listed on a North American stock exchange, with a vertically integrated business spanning mining, milling, refining, and conversion, plus a 49% stake in Westinghouse Electric Company, the world's leading nuclear reactor technology and services provider. Its two flagship Saskatchewan operations are McArthur River/Key Lake (69.8% Cameco, 25 million lb/yr licensed capacity; world's largest high-grade uranium mine) and Cigar Lake (54.5%, 18 million lb/yr; world's highest-grade uranium mine), both in the Athabasca Basin. Cameco also holds a 40% interest in JV Inkai in Kazakhstan. In the United States, it owns the Smith Ranch-Highland (Wyoming) and Crow Butte (Nebraska) ISR operations, both curtailed since 2016. In 2025, Cameco's share of production totalled 21.0 million pounds U₃O₈ — modestly above revised guidance but 10% below 2024, after McArthur River was cut in September 2025 due to development delays. For 2026, combined Saskatchewan guidance of 31.5–34.5 million pounds (100% basis) reflects management's deliberate policy of pacing production to market demand. Westinghouse contributed US$780 million in adjusted EBITDA (Cameco's 49% share) in 2025. In late 2025, a binding term sheet was signed with the US Government for an US$80 billion program to deploy Westinghouse AP1000 and AP300 reactor technology. Cameco's contracted uranium book stands at approximately 230 million pounds forward, with ~28 million pounds per year committed through 2030.

Kazatomprom is the world's largest uranium producer, accounting for approximately 21% of global primary supply, and is the national uranium company of Kazakhstan, the country holding the world's second-largest uranium reserves. All production uses in-situ recovery (ISR), structurally lower cost than conventional mining and well suited to the sandstone-hosted deposits of the Kazakh steppe. The company operates across a large portfolio of joint ventures with international partners including Cameco (Inkai JV), CGN, Uranium One, and others. A key structural consideration for Western investors is that production from the Budenovskoye deposit has been committed through 2026 to Russia's civil nuclear sector, making those volumes functionally unavailable to Western utilities in the near term. Consistent with its value-over-volume strategy, Kazatomprom reduced its SUA-permitted production ceiling for 2026 by approximately 3 ktU (~8 million pounds), equivalent to roughly 5% of global annual primary supply. Actual 2026 production guidance of 27,500–29,000 tU reflects improved operational performance. Common shares trade on the Astana International Exchange, with GDRs accessible to Western investors on both the AIX and the London Stock Exchange.

Sprott Physical Uranium Trust is a Toronto-listed, closed-end investment vehicle that holds physical uranium in the form of U₃O₈ and uranium hexafluoride, making it the largest and most liquid listed vehicle providing direct exposure to the uranium price. As of early 2026 the Trust holds roughly 74.9 million pounds of uranium. Units trade on the TSX like ordinary equity securities, with new units issued through an at-the-market equity programme whenever the market price trades at a premium to net asset value. In 2025 the Trust purchased about 8.7 million pounds of uranium, nearly three times its 2024 acquisition volume, reflecting sustained institutional and retail appetite. Unlike operating miners, it offers no project-level or operating leverage; its returns are driven purely by changes in the U₃O₈ spot price, cementing its role as the de-facto reference physical uranium vehicle for global investors.

As a U.S.-based ISR producer focused on contracting with domestic utilities, Peninsula is positioned to benefit from U.S. energy-security and domestic-sourcing policies, while the low-pH technical approach differentiates Lance from traditional Powder River Basin ISR operations and is central to the project's cost and recovery improvement thesis.

Forsys Metals is a Canadian-listed developer holding the Norasa Uranium Project in Namibia, combining the Valencia and Namibplaas deposits in the Erongo Region. A definitive feasibility study has been completed for Norasa, which sits among the larger undeveloped uranium resource bases in Namibia and is structured as a conventional open-pit, mill-based project. The company has been in the development stage for an extended period, with progress limited by uranium-price volatility and project-financing constraints. Namibia's established mining and regulatory environment and completed technical studies position Norasa to advance should market conditions and funding support a final investment decision. Forsys can be viewed as an earlier-stage, Namibian-based open-pit uranium development option.

Uranium Stocks — Investor FAQ

Uranium stocks are shares in publicly traded companies and investment vehicles with exposure to uranium, the fuel used in nuclear reactors. They span the mining value chain: producers that mine and process uranium, developers advancing new projects, explorers searching for deposits, royalty and holding companies, and physical uranium trusts such as Sprott Physical Uranium Trust and Yellow Cake that hold the material itself rather than mining it.
A uranium stock gives you exposure to a single company, so its price reflects that specific miner's projects, costs and execution. A uranium ETF holds a basket of uranium and nuclear-related companies, and sometimes physical uranium, spreading risk across many names in one ticker. This list covers individual uranium companies; for the fund route, see our Uranium ETFs and Nuclear and Uranium ETFs lists in Related Lists below.
No. Uranium stocks are mostly upstream fuel-cycle exposure: mining, processing and holding uranium. Nuclear power stocks sit further downstream and can include utilities that operate reactors, small modular reactor developers, fuel processors, and engineering and services firms. Investors wanting broader reactor and utility exposure should also review the Nuclear Power Stocks list.
Uranium mining companies are the operating and development-stage businesses that extract and process uranium ore. They range from established producers to near-term developers and early-stage explorers, and they use two main methods: in-situ recovery (ISR), which dissolves uranium underground, and conventional open-pit or underground mining. Project phase matters because a producer generating revenue carries very different risks from an explorer years away from a mine.
Rather than ranking stocks as buy recommendations, it helps to compare them across a few dimensions: project phase (producer, developer or explorer), resource country and its political risk, production status and cost structure, exposure to spot versus long-term contract uranium prices, and balance-sheet strength or financing needs. Physical uranium vehicles sit apart from operating companies because they track the uranium price directly. The sortable table above lets you compare the list on these factors.
Uranium miners' revenue and margins move with the price of uranium, quoted per pound of U₃O₈ (yellowcake). Two prices matter: the spot price for immediate delivery, and the long-term or term price that underpins the multi-year contracts most utilities actually buy on. Producers with contracted volumes have steadier revenue, while developers and physical uranium vehicles are more directly geared to the prevailing uranium price.
Indirectly. Growth in AI and data-center electricity demand strengthens the long-term case for reliable low-carbon nuclear baseload, which supports the broader uranium narrative. But uranium stocks are not a direct AI proxy: their outcomes depend on mine supply, utility contracting, uranium prices, permitting and project execution. The link runs through nuclear generation, reactor restarts, life extensions and new-build expectations rather than AI demand itself.
In-Situ Recovery (ISR), also called in-situ leaching, extracts uranium by circulating a leaching solution through permeable underground ore formations, dissolving the uranium in place and pumping the solution to surface for processing. ISR avoids open pits, underground tunnels, and the ore and waste-rock piles of conventional mining, though it still requires wellfields, surface processing, water management, and restoration work. Where the geology is suitable it is generally lower-cost and lower-capital than conventional mining, which is why it dominates production in Kazakhstan and accounts for most US uranium output. ISR-focused companies on this list include Ur-Energy and enCore Energy, while Uranium Energy Corp is primarily ISR-based and Kazatomprom's production is entirely ISR.
Most uranium is sold through multi-year term contracts between producers and nuclear utilities rather than on the spot market. Contract structures vary but commonly include fixed or base-escalated pricing and market-related pricing tied to spot or long-term price indicators, often with floors and ceilings. For investors, a producer's contract book shapes revenue visibility and spot-price sensitivity: heavily contracted producers usually have more predictable cash flows, while producers and developers with uncommitted future production retain more exposure to future uranium price moves.
Several converging policy trends have strengthened the investment case for uranium. In the US, executive orders signed in May 2025 target a major expansion of nuclear power, the Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act (2024) restricts imports of Russian enriched uranium and pushes utilities toward non-Russian fuel supply, and the Commerce Department's 2025 Section 232 investigation into processed critical minerals explicitly covers uranium. Globally, the Tripling Nuclear pledge signed by more than 20 countries at COP28 signals long-term demand growth. Supply also remains concentrated: Kazakhstan produced about 39% of world mine supply in 2024, creating a geopolitical incentive for utilities in the US, Europe, and Asia to diversify toward producers in Canada, Australia, Namibia, and the US.

The standard commercial form of uranium concentrate produced by uranium mines. Uranium spot prices are commonly quoted in US dollars per pound of U₃O₈, so a headline price of, say, US$80/lb refers to one pound of U₃O₈, while some international production statistics are reported in tonnes of uranium (tU) instead. U₃O₈ sits early in the nuclear fuel cycle: after mining and milling or ISR processing, it is converted to uranium hexafluoride (UF₆), enriched, and fabricated into fuel assemblies before it can power a reactor. Understanding this unit is essential for reading any uranium company's production and financial disclosures.
The spot price is the current market price for uranium delivered in the near term, widely watched as a sentiment indicator but representing only a fraction of actual trade. The term price (or long-term contract price) reflects pricing under multi-year supply agreements and is typically more stable. Because most uranium is sold under long-term contracts, a company's average realised price (what they actually receive per pound sold) often differs materially from the spot price, depending on when their contracts were signed and how they are structured.
C1 cash cost is the direct cash operating cost to produce one pound of uranium, typically including mining, processing, and site overhead but excluding taxes, depreciation, and capital costs. AISC adds sustaining capital, the ongoing investment needed to maintain production, to give a fuller picture of the cost of keeping a mine running. Both are company-defined non-IFRS measures, so definitions vary between companies; they are best used alongside guidance, realised prices, and contract mix when judging how profitable a producer is at current prices.
A feasibility study is a detailed engineering and economic analysis that establishes whether a mineral project is technically and financially viable. It defines capital costs, operating costs, mine plan, production rates, and financial returns (NPV and IRR) at assumed uranium prices. A pre-feasibility study is a less detailed, earlier-stage assessment. For development-stage uranium companies, the publication of a feasibility study, and the Final Investment Decision (FID) that often follows, are major de-risking milestones that can affect financing, permitting, and how the market values the project.
The two main methods of uranium extraction. ISR dissolves uranium underground and pumps it to surface without excavation: generally lower cost and lower capital where the geology suits, but limited to permeable deposits (typically sandstone-hosted) that can be controlled hydrologically. Conventional mining uses open pits or underground tunnels to physically excavate ore, which is then processed at a mill: more mine and mill infrastructure, but applicable to a wider range of deposits, including the high-grade basement-hosted deposits of Canada's Athabasca Basin. Knowing which method a company uses is key to understanding its cost structure and development timeline.
Production: Active commercial production or processing operations generating revenue. Development: A project with a defined resource and economics, advancing through technical studies, permitting, financing or construction. Exploration: Early-stage resource definition with no confirmed development plan yet. Study milestones such as PEA, PFS, DFS and feasibility studies are described separately in company rows rather than treated as standalone project phases. Some lists also tag non-mining vehicles separately, such as physical commodity holding vehicles, royalty and streaming companies, and investment holding companies.
