$LEU "Centrus Energy (LEU) is down approximately 6.3% today, trading at
$205.63. The decline is primarily driven by a "mixed" outlook from analysts, specifically a price target cut from B. Riley Securities and lowered short-term earnings estimates from HC Wainwright.
B. Riley lowered its price target from
$315 to
$295 today, signaling a more conservative stance on growth speed even while maintaining a "Buy" rating.
HC Wainwright cut its Q1 2026 earnings per share (EPS) forecast from
$0.59 to
$0.27, citing near-term profitability challenges.
High inflation expectations and a "higher-for-longer" interest rate outlook continue to pressure capital-intensive energy stocks like Centrus.
The long-term outlook remains centered on Centrus being the only production-ready domestic source for advanced nuclear fuels.
Centrus is a primary beneficiary of a
$900 million DOE task order to scale production of High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) for next-gen reactors. TP
