High conviction LEU bulls now have this Tradr ETFCentrus Energy ( (LEU) ) has issued an update.
On August 6, 2026, Centrus Energy announced it had signed a definitive contract with X-energy to supply low-enriched uranium and high-assay low-enriched uranium for X-energy’s initial Xe-100 small modular reactors and TRISO-X fuel deployments. Under the deal, deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2030, with some or all of the enriched uranium to be produced at Centrus’ American Centrifuge Plant in Pike County, Ohio.
The contract includes prepayments from X-energy to support Centrus’ domestic commercial enrichment capacity program, reinforcing a funding model that avoids dilution and additional debt while backing the company’s expansion of LEU and HALEU output. The agreement adds to Centrus’ $3 billion contingent enrichment backlog, strengthens the U.S. nuclear fuel supply chain, targets a tight global enriched uranium market, and supports job creation and advanced nuclear deployment amid rising demand for carbon-free power.
The most recent analyst rating on (LEU) stock is a Buy

Spark’s Take on LEU Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LEU is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by weaker financial quality (negative TTM operating/free cash flow and margin compression) and bearish technicals (below major moving averages with negative MACD). These are partially offset by a constructive earnings outlook supported by raised revenue guidance, a sizable long-dated backlog, and positive contract-driven corporate developments in HALEU commercialization. Valuation remains a headwind given the high P/E and lack of dividend support.
