Will Cameco add 30M+ pounds in new long-term uranium contracts during 2026?
Current Prediction
Why This Question Matters
Adding 30M+ lbs in new long-term contracts would extend the contract book and validate demand conversion. The $2.6B India deal demonstrates the opportunity.
Prediction Distribution
Individual Predictions(9 runs)
The India deal ($2.6B, 9-year) demonstrates large-scale contracting is happening. Russia ban forces Western utilities to secure supply. Management is withholding capacity waiting for better pricing but may release some. 30M lbs is roughly one year of delivery additions. Above coin-flip.
Management's supply discipline creates a tension: they want better pricing before contracting. If spot stays at $60-70, they may not contract at these levels. 30M lbs requires multiple large deals. Near coin-flip.
Long-term contract pricing is decoupled from spot — utilities sign at term prices that may be above spot. The contracting cycle continues regardless of spot sentiment. Conversion contracts (management holding for 10-15 year tenors) add to the total. Around 57%.
Russia ban forces utility contracting. India deal validates demand. But management supply discipline could limit volume. Above coin-flip.
30M lbs is meaningful — roughly a year of incremental deliveries. Requires sustained contracting activity. Near coin-flip.
Nuclear fuel security is a national priority for multiple countries. Utility contracting windows are open. Around 57%.
Russia ban and security concerns drive contracting. Above coin-flip.
Supply discipline could limit volume. Near coin-flip.
Demand conversion happening. 30M lbs achievable but not certain. Above coin-flip.
Resolution Criteria
