Question
Uranium Equities Rebound as AI Data Center Demand Drives SMR Backlogs
Direct answer
Cameco's market pricing reset from $134 down to $85 has created a distinct valuation entry for nuclear fuel supply. Long-term power demand from AI hyperscalers and industrial electrification continues to support baseline uranium fuel cycle contracting.
Development pipelines in the small modular reactor segment show divergent commercial quality. Oklo leads aggregate capacity with 18.1 GW in nonbinding arrangements, NuScale concentrates 6 to 7 GW within one customer relationship, and GE Vernova targets regulated utility installations.
