    Uranium Energy (UEC) Is Down 6.1% After Launching US Uranium Refining Arm Amid Q1 Losses - What's Changed

    Simply Wall St·12/13/2025 13:28:15
    Listen to the news
    • In December 2025, Uranium Energy Corp. reported a first-quarter net loss of US$10.34 million with no revenue, while advancing uranium production projects in Wyoming and Texas and launching United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp to add UF6 conversion capabilities.
    • This move positions Uranium Energy as the only U.S. supplier spanning uranium mining through to planned UF6 production, tightly aligning its business with American energy security and potential federal uranium reserve initiatives.
    • Next, we’ll examine how building a fully American-controlled uranium fuel supply chain shapes Uranium Energy’s investment narrative amid recent share price weakness.

    Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 22 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

    What Is Uranium Energy's Investment Narrative?

    To own Uranium Energy, you really have to buy into the idea that a fully American-controlled uranium fuel chain can justify years of upfront losses and dilution while the pieces are put in place. The latest quarter underscored that trade-off: US$10.34 million in net loss, no revenue, yet continued spending to advance ISR projects in Wyoming and Texas and to build out the new UR&C subsidiary for future UF6 conversion. That vertical integration push strengthens the long-term “energy security” catalyst, especially with uranium on the U.S. Critical Minerals list, but it also sharpens the near-term risks. The recent equity raises and lack of current operating cash flow mean funding, execution timing and policy follow-through now matter even more than the small earnings miss that triggered the recent share pullback.

    However, there is an important funding and dilution risk here that investors should not ignore. Uranium Energy's share price has been on the slide but might be dropping deeper into value territory. Find out whether it's a bargain at this price.
