What Is Centrus Energy's Investment Narrative?

To own Centrus, you have to buy into a very specific story: that its role in rebuilding U.S.-owned uranium enrichment capacity, including HALEU, can justify a premium valuation and earnings that are currently expected to soften over the next few years. The NYSE uplisting fits that story by potentially broadening the investor base and making it easier to absorb the recently announced US$1.00 billion at-the-market equity program, which itself is a key near term catalyst and risk. Easier access to equity could support Piketon expansion and DOE backed opportunities, but it also raises dilution concerns at a time when the share price has already had a very large multi-year run and analysts see earnings declining, not compounding. For new and existing shareholders, that tension is now central to the thesis.

However, investors also need to consider how the large ATM program could reshape per share economics. Centrus Energy's shares are on the way up, but they could be overextended by 30%. Uncover the fair value now.
