Uranium Energy Corp. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Uranium Energy reported revenues of $49.8 million, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $41 million.
UEC sold 600,000 pounds of uranium at $82.92 per pound in the second quarter of 2025. Revenues from toll processing services were nil. In the year-ago quarter, UEC had not sold any of its uranium inventory. The company had reported revenues of $0.12 million, which fully reflected revenues from toll processing services.
As of Jan. 31, 2025, UEC had 1,356,000 pounds of purchased uranium concentrate inventory. At current prices, the inventory is valued at $97.3 million. To build on its physical uranium program, the company will purchase an additional 300,000 pounds of uranium at $37.05 per pound under existing contracts in December 2025. This will provide UEC with a low-cost stream of physical uranium at a time of heightened geopolitical uncertainty.
The total cost of sales and services was $31.5 million in the fiscal second quarter, way higher than $0.097 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Gross profit was $18.23 million compared with $0.02 million in the year-ago quarter.
Mineral property expenditures soared 113% to around $14.2 million from $6.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. General and administrative expenses were $6.6 million, up 34% year over year. Total operating expenses surged 80% year over year to $21.9 million.
Uranium Energy reported an operating loss of $3.63 million compared with an operating loss of $12.1 million in the year-ago quarter.
UEC’s Balance Sheet Updates at Q225 End
Uranium Energy used $20.3 million of cash in operating activities in the first half of fiscal 2025 against an outflow of $81.4 million in the year-ago comparable period.

Significant Developments for Uranium Energy in Q225
The company reported the successful commissioning of the drying and packaging circuit at the Irigaray Central Processing Plant with uranium feed from the Christensen Ranch In-Situ Recovery operations. Ramp-up continues at the Christensen Ranch and new production areas are being constructed and will be completed in 2025.
It is also advancing the Roughrider and Burke Hollow Projects with resource expansions and development programs, respectively. In September 2024, UEC inked a deal with Rio Tinto (RIO - Free Report) to acquire a portfolio of its uranium mining projects in Wyoming. This was subsequently completed in December for $175 million in cash.
The acquisition includes Rio Tinto's licensed Sweetwater Plant and mining projects with approximately 175 million pounds of historic resources. The Sweetwater Plant has a licensed annual capacity of 4.1 million pounds of uranium. This plant in addition to the other assets will significantly enhance and accelerate UEC’s production capabilities in Wyoming’s Great Divide Basin, where it already holds 12 properties.
