CCJ Frequently Asked Questions
What does Cameco do?
Cameco mines and processes uranium — the fuel for nuclear power plants — primarily from its McArthur River and Cigar Lake operations in Saskatchewan, Canada, which are among the highest-grade uranium deposits in the world. The company sells uranium to utilities under long-term contracts and in the spot market, with revenue tied directly to uranium prices. In 2023, Cameco expanded into nuclear services by acquiring a 49% stake in Westinghouse Electric alongside Brookfield, giving it exposure to nuclear fuel fabrication, reactor engineering, and plant maintenance across the entire nuclear fuel cycle.
Is CCJ stock a good investment?
Cameco is the most accessible way for investors to gain exposure to uranium without the operational complexity of owning physical uranium. The secular tailwind is compelling: nuclear power is being reconsidered globally as a low-carbon baseload source, and reactor restarts in Japan, new builds in Asia, and small modular reactor development are expected to increase demand for uranium fuel over the next decade. Supply concentration — most uranium comes from a small number of countries — adds geopolitical complexity. The Westinghouse stake diversifies revenue while extending exposure to the nuclear renaissance theme.
Who are Cameco's main competitors?
Kazatomprom, the state-owned Kazakh uranium producer, is the world's largest and Cameco's most significant competitor for uranium supply contracts, often undercutting on price given its lower production costs. NexGen Energy is developing the Arrow deposit in Saskatchewan, which could become a major producer and future competitive supplier. Uranium Energy Corp and Denison Mines are smaller North American producers. Russia's TVEL and China National Nuclear Corporation are state-controlled suppliers that complicate Western utility procurement decisions given geopolitical tensions.
Does Cameco pay dividends?
Cameco pays a modest annual dividend, but income is not the primary investment thesis — the company has prioritized capital preservation and investment in production capacity over dividend growth, particularly during the decade-long uranium bear market that followed Fukushima. The dividend was cut during that period and has been maintained at a conservative level since. Shareholders who hold Cameco for its uranium price leverage and nuclear renaissance positioning typically accept that capital appreciation is the expected return driver, not the dividend.
Where is CCJ trading today?
CCJ last closed at $108.04, up 2.34% in the most recent trading session. Over the past 52 weeks, the stock has traded between a low of $35.00 and a high of $135.24.

How much revenue does Cameco Corp generate?
Cameco Corp generated $3.16B in revenue during fiscal year 2026, with $173.42M reaching the bottom line as net income. The net profit margin of 5.5% reflects the competitive nature of its industry.
What is the price-to-earnings ratio for CCJ?
CCJ trades at a P/E ratio of 133.40 on trailing earnings of $1.21 per share. That's well above the S&P 500 historical average of ~20-25x, which typically signals that investors are pricing in aggressive future growth. Comparing this multiple against Energy sector peers gives better context than the broad market alone, since P/E norms vary significantly across industries.
How has CCJ performed compared to last year?
Performance varies across timeframes, reflecting shifting market conditions. Returns by timeframe: +16.37% (3M), +26.24% (6M), +142.90% (1Y), +9.62% (YTD). Comparing these figures against the S&P 500 and sector benchmarks helps determine whether CCJ is outperforming or lagging the broader market.
