Urano Energy Corp

On paper, the underlying commodity of Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UEC#NYSE">UEC</a>) appears to enjoy a northbound framework. In particular, the market for generative artificial intelligence may <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36588991/study-forecasts-staggering-1-trillion-boost-to-us-economy-with-generative-ai-but-warns-of-job-disrup">spark a $1 trillion impact</a> on the U.S. economy within the next 10 years. However, AI isn't free in terms of energy consumption, thus adding fundamental relevance to UEC stock.
What's more, according to the World Economic Forum, the present energy consumption of machine intelligence is but a <a href="https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/07/generative-ai-energy-emissions/">fraction</a> of the broader tech ecosystem's power expenditure. With the deployment of data centers, blockchain mining and other energy-consumptive innovations, the nuclear fuel industry may benefit from a net bullish backdrop.
Nevertheless, while UEC stock has swung higher over the past 52 weeks, the journey hasn't been a smooth one. From a technical standpoint, since the final months of 2023, UEC appears to be in the middle of forming a broadening top pattern. Also known as a megaphone pattern, this price action features higher highs and lower lows — a sort of horizontal pyramid.

Regarding the news cycle, President-elect Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42475000/if-trump-starts-a-trade-war-canada-could-impose-export-taxes-on-oil-uranium-report">proposed tariffs on Canada</a> could have significant economic implications. As it relates to UEC stock, Canadian export taxes on uranium could devastate U.S. nuclear energy producers. Currently, Canada supplies about a quarter of the uranium used in U.S. nuclear reactors.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Taking the Straddle Long with UEC Stock Options</h2>
Based on the lack of both fundamental and technical clarity of where UEC stock may head over the short to intermediate term, placing a directional wager might not be the most prudent idea. Instead, speculators may opt to consider a directionally neutral strategy. One of the simplest but powerful ideas is to deploy a long straddle.
Falling under the category of multi-leg options strategies, the straddle doesn't need much explanation because it's so intuitive. For a given options chain (i.e. same expiration date), the trader buys a call option and a put option of the same strike price. Essentially, the trader is paying a premium to "attack" the possibility of both outcomes rather than choosing between them.
Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch, especially on Wall Street. For a purely directional wager — such as buying just a call or a put — the trader pays one premium. To break even, the target security must hit the strike price plus the premium paid. By logical deduction, to break even with a long straddle, the strike price must either rise above or fall below the strike price by the premium paid of both the call and put.
On the positive end, the losses of a long straddle are limited to the total debit paid to enter the trade. Moreover, the upside is theoretically unlimited. True, if the security moves extremely, either the call or the put will expire worthless. However, the trader is banking on the in-the-money (ITM) option to reap the rewards.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Targeting the $7 February Long Straddle</h2>
At the time of writing, traders may want to consider the $7 long straddle in UEC stock for the options chain expiring Feb. 21, 2025. This trade provides 64 calendar days to expiration for UEC to break above either the upper or lower profitability thresholds. Based on current ask prices, the upper breakeven point stands at $8.50 while the lower breakeven point sits at $5.50.
These price targets appear to be realistic propositions based on stochastic calculations. Right now, the <a href="https://optioncharts.io/options/UEC/volatility-skew?option_type=all&amp;expiration_dates=2025-02-21:m&amp;strike_range=all">average implied volatility</a> of the February options chain clocks in at approximately 58%. By multiplying this figure by the UEC stock price and its time decay adjustment (or the square root of the calendar days to expiration divided by 365 days), traders can "reverse" engineer the market's unit price expectation of volatility.
The result of this calculation is approximately $1.79. Added to and subtracted from the current share price, the market expects UEC stock to either move to $9.16 or $5.58 by expiration. Obviously, the call-side wager is much likelier to materialize. However, this long straddle also buys "protection" in case of severely volatile movement.
Keep in mind that in August and September, UEC stock had fallen below the $5 level. Ultimately, this long straddle naturally seeks to hit the upper price target. Still, the strategy provides just-in-case coverage should something terribly negative materialize.

In a major step toward securing Virginia's reliable energy future, Appalachian Power announces plans to bring Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to Virginia. Appalachian Power representatives identified a potential site for an SMR project on company-owned Joshua Falls property in Campbell County, Virginia, and plan to begin the Early Site Permit Application process. This site provides access to existing electrical infrastructure that is necessary for a generation project. The site includes a 765 kilovolt substation and nearby roadways can support moving the necessary equipment onsite.
This is a significant milestone in the company's efforts to provide reliable and clean energy to its customers. SMR technology offers tremendous potential to provide safe, reliable and clean energy 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The relatively small footprint allows SMRs to be constructed in areas that were not previously feasible for nuclear energy generation. SMR sites can also be scaled to match the energy needs of the state. A single SMR can generate up to 500 megawatts (MW) of clean energy.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Uranium Energy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Uranium Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.81%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Uranium Energy Unusual Options Activity For October 16

Shares of uranium stocks are trading higher amid strength in nuclear names, which rose after Amazon Web Services announced plans to invest over $500 million in nuclear power.

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said Uranium Energy Corp.

Jim Cramer: 'We Need More Uranium,' Recommends This Stock; Says Novo Nordisk 'Doesn't Hold A Candle' To Big Pharma Rival

Source: <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2024/10/02/strategic-expansion-fuels-u-s-uranium-production-surge-amid-global-supply-shifts.html?utm_medium=feed">Streetwise Reports 10/02/2024</a>
Uranium Energy Corp. (AMEX:UEC) has taken a step in expanding its U.S. uranium production capacity through the acquisition of Rio Tinto Plc.&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rio#NYSE">RIO</a>) Sweetwater Plant and a portfolio of Wyoming uranium assets.
Announced on September 23, the transaction, valued at US$175 million, adds approximately 175 million pounds of historic uranium resources to UEC&#39;s holdings. This acquisition creates UEC&#39;s third hub-and-spoke production platform in the U.S., further solidifying its role as a leading player in the domestic uranium market.
The Sweetwater Plant has a licensed processing capacity of 4.1 million pounds of uranium per year and is a key strategic asset. This enables UEC to expand its capabilities for both in-situ recovery (ISR) and conventional mining methods. This announcement comes as the U.S. increases its focus on securing domestic uranium supplies in light of geopolitical shifts, like the U.S. ban on Russian uranium imports. The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2024, with UEC utilizing its available liquidity to fund the purchase.
<h2>Looking Into The Uranium Market</h2>
On September 30, The New York Times reported that &quot;uranium mines are ramping up across the West, spurred by rising demand for electricity and federal efforts to cut Russia out of the supply chain for U.S. nuclear fuel.&quot;
This surge in demand has helped drive uranium prices to their highest levels in over 15 years, according .to TradeTech, a consulting firm. These market conditions have led to a revitalization of mining regions that had been in decline since the end of the Cold War.
<blockquote class="callOut left">Chris Temple of The National Investor noted that UEC was &quot;upgraded back to Buy&quot; following recent market news and encouraged increased exposure to the uranium sector.</blockquote>
The industry is expected to continue growing, with U.S. production of uranium, specifically yellowcake, predicted to reach approximately six million pounds by 2028. John W. Cash, CEO of Ur-Energy, highlighted the recovery in the Times article, comparing the industry to &quot;a broken arm that&#39;s been in a cast for a long time.&quot;
Kitco, on September 25, also noted the robust market conditions, stating that &quot;the U3O8 uranium spot price has risen significantly over the last five years.&quot; The article pointed out that uranium and related equities have outperformed other asset classes over the long term, reinforcing the optimistic outlook for the sector.
In line with this positive trajectory, The Financial Times reported on September 20 that the price of enriched uranium has more than tripled since early 2022, signaling the growing demand for nuclear energy. Additionally, uranium hexafluoride prices have increased fourfold, underscoring the bottlenecks in the conversion stage of the nuclear fuel supply chain. Jonathan Hinze, CEO of UxC, explained that this surge in conversion and enrichment prices was &quot;reflecting a much bigger supply squeeze due to the Russia-Ukraine war and other factors.&quot;
<h2>Catalysts</h2>
According to UEC&#39;s September 2024 investor presentation, the acquisition of Rio Tinto&#39;s Wyoming assets marks a highly strategic addition to UEC&#39;s growing U.S. portfolio. The transaction creates operational synergies by integrating Rio Tinto&#39;s Sweetwater Plant with UEC&#39;s existing operations in Wyoming&#39;s Great Divide Basin. This allows UEC to streamline infrastructure and personnel across its newly expanded land position, which now totals over 108,000 acres, further enhancing exploration and production opportunities.
<blockquote class="callOut right">Joe Reagor of Roth MKM, also on September 25, reiterated his Buy rating on UEC and increased the company&#39;s price target from US$9.00 to US$9.50</blockquote>
The Sweetwater Plant&#39;s capability to be adapted for ISR processing, in addition to conventional mining, provides UEC with significant production flexibility at a lower capital cost compared to building new facilities.
This expansion comes as uranium demand continues to grow due to global clean energy initiatives and recent U.S. government actions, including the Department of Energy&#39;s efforts to bolster domestic uranium production.
UEC&#39;s latest acquisition supports its long-term strategy of becoming a leading supplier of uranium in North America, capitalizing on both industry tailwinds and its expanded resource base.
<h2>A Buy-Rated Stock</h2>
On September 25, Chris Temple of The National Investor noted that UEC was &quot;upgraded back to Buy&quot; following recent market news and encouraged increased exposure to the uranium sector. He pointed to UEC&#39;s acquisition of Rio Tinto&#39;s Wyoming uranium assets as a catalyst, emphasizing that uranium is &quot;in the early innings of this new bull market.&quot; Temple also recommended UEC as part of his broader strategy for capitalizing on uranium&#39;s growth potential.
Jeff Clark of The Gold Advisor, in his September 26 update, discussed UEC&#39;s expansion of its U.S. production capacity by acquiring Rio Tinto&#39;s Sweetwater Plant and other Wyoming uranium assets. He called this acquisition a &quot;significant move&quot; noting that it consolidated a large portfolio of uranium assets under UEC&#39;s control, positioning the company for rapid growth. He also highlighted the company&#39;s strategic advantage with &quot;53,000 additional acres for exploration&quot; reinforcing UEC&#39;s potential to ramp up production.
Joe Reagor of Roth MKM, also on September 25, reiterated his Buy rating on UEC and increased the company&#39;s price target from US$9.00 to US$9.50. He referred to the Rio Tinto acquisition as an &quot;ideal bolt-on&quot; for UEC, with the potential to unlock significant shareholder value. Reagor pointed out that UEC&#39;s ability to update these assets to be SK-1300 compliant could significantly increase their worth, supporting his optimistic outlook for the company.
<h2>Ownership and Share Structure </h2>
According to the company&#39;s investor presentation, Uranium Energy has a market cap of US$2.13 billion and 406 million shares outstanding. 
Yahoo! Finance notes that 1.99% of the company is owned by management and insiders.
The largest portion, 77.75%, is held by institutional investors.
The rest is in retail.

표면적으로 우라늄 에너지(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UEC#NYSE">UEC</a>)의 기초 원자재는 상승세를 보이는 것으로 보인다. 특히, 생성형 인공지능(AI) 시장이 향후 10년 내에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36588991/study-forecasts-staggering-1-trillion-boost-to-us-economy-with-generative-ai-but-warns-of-job-disrup">1조 달러의 경제적 영향을 미칠 수 있다</a>는 전망이 있다. 그러나 AI는 에너지 소비 측면에서 무료가 아니므로 UEC 주식에 기본적인 중요성을 추가한다.
더욱이, 세계 경제 포럼에 따르면, 현재 머신 지능의 에너지 소비는 <a href="https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/07/generative-ai-energy-emissions/">전체 기술 생태계의 전력 소비</a>의 일부에 불과하다. 데이터 센터, 블록체인 채굴 및 기타 에너지 소모 혁신의 배치로 인해 원자력 연료 산업은 긍정적인 배경의 혜택을 볼 수 있다.
그럼에도 불구하고 UEC 주식은 지난 52주 동안 상승세를 보였지만, 그 과정은 순탄치 않았다. 기술적 관점에서 2023년 마지막 몇 개월부터 UEC는 확장형 상단 패턴을 형성하는 중간 단계에 있는 것으로 보인다. 메가폰 패턴이라고도 알려진 이 가격 행동은 더 높은 고점과 더 낮은 저점을 특징으로 하며, 일종의 수평 피라미드이다.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">UEC 주식 옵션으로 롱 스트래들 포지션 취하기</h2>
UEC 주식이 단기에서 중기적으로 어디로 갈지에 대한 근본적 및 기술적 명확성이 부족하기 때문에 방향성을 가진 베팅을 하는 것은 가장 신중한 생각이 아닐 수 있다. 대신, 투기자들은 방향성 중립 전략을 고려할 수 있다. 가장 간단하면서도 강력한 아이디어 중 하나는 롱 스트래들을 사용하는 것이다.
멀티-레그 옵션 전략의 범주에 속하는 스트래들은 매우 직관적이기 때문에 별다른 설명이 필요하지 않다. 주어진 옵션 체인(즉, 만기일이 같은 경우)에서 트레이더는 동일한 행사가로 콜 옵션과 풋 옵션을 각각 매수한다. 본질적으로, 트레이더는 두 가지 결과 중 하나를 선택하는 대신 모두 &#8220;공격&#8221;할 수 있는 가능성에 대한 프리미엄을 지불하는 것이다.
물론, 월스트리트에는 공짜 점심이란 없다. 단순한 방향성 베팅의 경우(즉, 콜이나 풋 중 하나만 구매) 트레이더는 하나의 프리미엄을 지불한다. 손익 분기점을 맞추려면 목표 증권이 행사가격과 지불한 프리미엄을 합한 가격에 도달해야 한다. 논리적으로, 롱 스트래들의 손익 분기점은 행사가가 프리미엄을 포함한 가격 이상으로 상승하거나 하락해야 한다.
긍정적인 측면에서, 롱 스트래들의 손실은 거래에 진입하기 위해 지불한 총 차입금으로 제한된다. 또한, 이론적으로 상승 가능성은 무한하다. 실제로 주식이 극단적으로 움직이면 콜 또는 풋 중 하나는 무가치하게 만료된다. 그러나 트레이더는 인더머니/내가격(ITM) 옵션이 보상을 얻을 것이라고 예상다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2월 $7 롱 스트래들 목표 설정</h2>
현재 시점에서, 트레이더들은 UEC 주식의 2월 21일 만기 옵션 체인에서 $7 롱 스트래들을 고려할 수 있다. 이 거래는 UEC가 상한선 또는 하한선의 수익성 기준선을 초과할 수 있도록 64일의 캘린더 일수를 제공한다. 현재 매도 가격에 따르면, 상한선 손익 분기점은 $8.50이고 하한선 손익 분기점은 $5.50이다.
이 가격 목표들은 확률 계산을 기반으로 할 때 현실적인 제안처럼 보인다. 현재 <a href="https://optioncharts.io/options/UEC/volatility-skew?option_type=all&amp;expiration_dates=2025-02-21:m&amp;strike_range=all">2월 옵션 체인의 평균 암시 변동성</a>은 약 58%로 나타났다. 이 수치를 UEC 주가에 곱하고 만기까지의 시간 가치 조정(또는 캘린더 일수를 365일로 나눈 제곱근)으로 조정하면, 트레이더들은 시장의 변동성에 대한 단위 가격 기대치를 &#8220;역으로&#8221; 계산할 수 있다.
이 계산의 결과는 약 $1.79이다. 현재 주가에 더하고 빼면, 시장은 UEC 주식이 만기까지 $9.16 또는 $5.58로 움직일 것으로 예상한다. 명백히 콜 쪽 베팅이 실현될 가능성이 훨씬 높다. 그러나 이 롱 스트래들은 심각한 변동성이 발생할 경우에 대한 &#8220;보호&#8221; 기능도 제공한다.
8월과 9월에는 UEC 주가가 $5 이하로 떨어졌던 점을 기억하자. 궁극적으로 이 롱 스트래들은 상위 가격 목표를 달성하려고 한다. 그러나 이 전략은 부정적인 상황이 발생할 경우를 대비한 안전망을 제공한다.
주가 움직임: 우라늄 에너지의 주식은 목요일 3.54% 상승한 $7.46에 마감되었다.
