Shares of Centrus Energy Corp. (LEU) surged 12% on Monday, driven by investor optimism regarding the company's plans to expand its uranium enrichment capabilities and capitalize on rising demand for nuclear energy.
In its third-quarter 2024 earnings call, Centrus Energy revealed that it has secured government contracts worth billions of dollars to bolster its production of high-assay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU) and low-enriched uranium (LEU). The company is the sole provider of HALEU in the Western world, positioning it favorably to meet the emerging demand for advanced nuclear reactors fueled by HALEU.
Furthermore, Centrus Energy highlighted growing interest from major tech companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, which have announced significant investments and partnerships to deploy nuclear energy solutions, including HALEU-fueled reactors. The U.S. Department of Energy has also committed substantial funding to support the deployment of small modular reactors, further driving demand for Centrus Energy's enrichment services.
