    Centrus Energy Holds $4.5B Backlog as Domestic HALEU Supply Tightens

    Question

    Centrus Energy Holds $4.5B Backlog as Domestic HALEU Supply Tightens

    Direct answer

    Centrus Energy currently maintains an aggregate backlog of $4.5 billion across commercial utilities and federal enrichment programs. The company remains the only public domestic facility producing High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU), a critical fuel feedstock for next-generation small modular reactors. Although equity shares have corrected 69% from late-2025 highs due to near-term delivery schedules and revenue timing, the multi-billion dollar backlog provides critical positioning as federal policy mandates a domestic nuclear fuel supply chain.
