Cracking the Uranium Code with Eight Capitals, Puneet Singh

Uranium Resurgence: Analyzing the Factors Behind the Price Rally

Editorial Team (ET)May 16, 2025

In a recent interview on BNN Bloomberg's "The Street" segment, Puneet Singh, an analyst specializing in precious metals and energy metals at Eight Capital, shared valuable insights into the evolving fundamentals of the uranium market. Uranium, once a relatively obscure commodity, has now become a focal point of discussions in the context of the global shift towards green energy. Singh's analysis sheds light on the current state of the uranium spot market and highlights his top five picks in this dynamic sector.

The Surge in Uranium Prices

Singh began the discussion by addressing the remarkable surge in uranium prices during 2023. The year commenced with uranium prices below $50 USD but concluded with prices soaring above $90 USD. This substantial price increase has piqued the interest of investors and analysts alike.

Supply Challenges Ignite Market Momentum

One key factor contributing to the recent uranium price rally is the supply cuts imposed by major producers. Singh pointed out that even industry giants like Cameco have been grappling with supply challenges. These disruptions in supply chains have created a ripple effect in the market, propelling uranium prices to new heights.

Geopolitical Considerations

The conversation also delved into the geopolitical aspects of the uranium market. A long-standing concern in the industry has been the reliance on uranium sources in Russia. The question arose: To what extent does the uranium price depend on the geopolitical situation with Russia? Singh opined that while geopolitical tensions do play a role, the changing fundamentals in the uranium market are now steering the direction of prices more prominently.

The Impact of Resolution

The possibility of a resolution to geopolitical issues was discussed. In the event of a swift resolution, what would happen to uranium prices? Singh's response highlighted the transformed landscape of uranium fundamentals. He emphasized that factors such as sequestering pounds in the market and supply challenges faced by major producers have created a structural shift in the market, making it less dependent on geopolitical developments.

Top Picks in the Uranium Sector

Singh went on to share his top picks in the uranium sector, providing investors with valuable insights:

1. NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSE: NXE)

NexGen Energy stands as Singh's top pick in the sector. The company holds a unique position with its globally renowned Arrow project. Expected to commence production by the end of the decade, this project is projected to yield an impressive 30 million pounds of uranium annually. Singh also hinted at the possibility of NexGen becoming an attractive acquisition target, particularly by BHP.

2. Fission Uranium Corp. (TSX: FCU) (OTCQX: FCUUF)

Fission Uranium Corp. is another promising contender in the uranium space, positioned just three kilometers away from NexGen. Singh noted that Fission has gained momentum recently and remains undervalued in comparison to its peers. As NexGen advances with its permitting, Fission is expected to benefit from the tailwind.

3. ISO Energy Ltd. (TSX-V: ISO) (OTCQX: ISENF)

ISO Energy Ltd. has garnered attention due to its high-grade uranium asset in the Athabasca Basin. With a grade surpassing 34%, ISO Energy's hurricane deposit is even more robust than some of the industry giants. The company's progress in expanding its resource base towards the east has the potential to excite the market.

4. Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE: UUUU) (TSX: EFR)

Energy Fuels Inc. has been relatively undervalued due to its substantial involvement in the rare earth business. However, Singh highlighted that the company is taking steps to secure its supply chain, particularly with the acquisition of a mine in Brazil. If successful, this move could reposition Energy Fuels as a notable player in the near-term producer category.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the interview with Puneet Singh provided valuable insights into the changing dynamics of the uranium market. While geopolitical factors remain relevant, the uranium sector has witnessed a significant transformation in its fundamentals. Investors looking for opportunities in this space should keep a close watch on companies like NexGen, Fission Uranium, ISO Energy, and Energy Fuels, as they navigate this evolving landscape.
