Stock Track | Centrus Soars 8.24% Intraday as US Uranium Enrichment Expansion Plans Lift Nuclear Fuel Sector

Stock Track06-02

Centrus Energy's stock surged 8.24% during Tuesday's intraday trading session, marking a significant upward movement for the nuclear fuel company.

The rally was driven by a broad surge across the uranium and nuclear fuel sector following a major capacity expansion announcement. Urenco USA revealed a multi-billion-dollar investment to expand its New Mexico uranium enrichment plant, targeting a more than 50% increase in low-enriched uranium production capacity. This expansion is expected to add 2.1 million SWU of enrichment capability, with the first units coming online by 2032.

The sector-wide gains come amid a nuclear energy revival accelerated by AI-driven data center power demand and U.S. government initiatives to quadruple domestic nuclear capacity. The Department of Energy has also awarded $2.7 billion in orders for LEU and HALEU production, signaling a rapid rebuild of domestic enrichment capabilities that benefits companies throughout the nuclear fuel supply chain.
