Energy Fuels (UUUU) Stock Jumps 8.2%: Will It Continue to Soar?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Energy Fuels (UUUU - Free Report) shares soared 8.2% in the last trading session to close at $16.56. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 8.8% loss over the past four weeks.
Energy Fuels shares gained on the news that it secured a conditional $725 million financing commitment from the Department of War, U.S. Office of Strategic Capital ("OSC"). Subject to final due diligence and customary closing conditions, the $725 million loan with a tenor of 20 years will fund the expansion of critical minerals processing at Energy Fuels’ White Mesa Mill in Utah, as well as the construction of a rare earth metals and alloy facility in the United States.
The financing will support infrastructure and capacity to process rare earth elements from the company's expanding domestic and international project pipeline.
This uranium and vanadium miner and developer is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.05 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +50%. Revenues are expected to be $30.2 million, up 617.3% from the year-ago quarter.
Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For Energy Fuels, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on UUUU going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
Energy Fuels belongs to the Zacks Mining - Non Ferrous industry. Another stock from the same industry, Lundin Mining (LUNMF - Free Report) , closed the last trading session 2.6% lower at $26.68. Over the past month, LUNMF has returned -1.2%.
Lundin's consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has changed +1.1% over the past month to $0.29. Compared to the company's year-ago EPS, this represents a change of +163.6%. Lundin currently boasts a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
