Australian Uranium Miner, Developers Seen as Great Way to Play AI Boom -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-25

0352 GMT - Australian uranium producer Paladin Energy and developers Bannerman Energy and Deep Yellow may benefit from a constructive uranium-price environment amid an artificial-intelligence boom, Macquarie says. Rising power use at AI data centers is boosting demand for uranium-fueled nuclear energy. The bank upgrades its rating on Paladin to outperform from neutral, saying its stock implies a uranium price of US$77 a pound versus the spot price at US$84 a pound. The stock is seen "as an excellent way to invest in uranium cycle/AI megatrend," Macquarie says. The bank also upgrades its rating on uranium producer Boss Energy to neutral from underperform. It says that while it still has concerns about the company's resource downgrades at the Honeymoon uranium project and its new feasibility study on the project, those have been better priced into shares.
