Investment Thesis

Data centres signed the power deals; nuclear is the only carbon-free baseload that can honor them. A -23% consolidation after 2025's +53% run lets investors into the AI-power trade's supply side at a reset price, with a 3% yield from the utility sleeve while waiting.

Who It's For

Investors playing AI's energy bottleneck through the whole nuclear complex, not just the uranium price.
