    Cameco Retraces to $85 as Long-Term AI Data Center Nuclear Power Demand Builds

    Question

    Cameco Retraces to $85 as Long-Term AI Data Center Nuclear Power Demand Builds

    Direct answer

    Cameco has consolidated around $85 after pulling back from a high of $134, reflecting normalization in uranium spot sentiment. Despite near-term price volatility, long-term fundamentals are underpinned by expanding utility contracting cycles. Hyperscale technology firms are increasingly targeting dedicated nuclear generation to secure continuous, zero-carbon power for large-scale data center clusters. Constrained mine supply and lengthy development timelines for new uranium reserves support long-term contracting price floors for tier-one producers.
