Cameco Corp (CCJ) stock: arguments for and against

What supports and what weakens the investment case for CCJ stock

14 for and 8 against

The count is not the verdict. Some arguments carry more weight than others, and the verdict weighs them all.

For14

  • Passes 8 of the nine financial health checks.

    The Piotroski score counts nine simple things: whether the firm is profitable, whether it generates cash, whether debt is falling, whether margins are improving. Here 8 pass.

  • Cameco Corp (CCJ) shares come from a business that keeps 16.9% of sales.

    More is left from sales than at rivals: 16.9% against 8.2% retained by companies in the Energy sector.

  • Cameco Corp carries less debt than its rivals, measured against operating earnings.

    Debt stands at 1.15 times annual operating earnings, so it could be brought down quickly if needed. Companies in the Energy sector are at 1.6.

Against8

  • At today's price, Cameco Corp (CCJ) shares cost the equivalent of 76.2 years of earnings.

    If profit stays where it is, the investment would only pay for itself in 76.2 years. Companies in the Energy sector need 15.5 years, and the gap would close only if profit grows sharply.

  • The dividend yields 0.6% a year, below the sector.

    The dividend yields 0.6% a year on the share price, so anyone looking for dividend income will find more elsewhere. Companies in the Energy sector pay 4.2%.

  • Cameco Corp shares come from a business earning 8.9% a year on shareholders' money.

    Every unit of capital put in by shareholders brings 8.9% a year. Companies in the Energy sector produce 9.9%.

How often we were right

63%of “Very attractive” verdicts proved right over 2 years: the stock beat the typical company.

Picking at random, you would be right 50% of the time, because half of all stocks beat the typical company. “Very attractive” stocks returned a median +47.7% over 2 years, against +27.6% for the typical company.

  • Very attractivemedian return +47.7%63%
  • Attractivemedian return +37.7%55%
  • Neutralmedian return +27.6%predicts no direction
  • Unattractivemedian return +21.3%55%
  • Very unattractivemedian return +14.3%58%

Measured on 21,538 assessments that called a direction, not on a few hand-picked examples: 57% were right. The more cases there are, the harder it is to stay above 50%, because luck cancels out. For the negative tiers, a verdict is right when the stock stays below the typical company.

We publish and keep the full history of the verdicts we have given for every company. For transparency and honesty.

How close is Cameco to bankruptcy?

Very far

None of the bankruptcy models with a published threshold flags stress at Cameco.

The Altman Z'' score is 7.90, above the 2.6 safety threshold. The probability of default from the Merton model is practically zero.

  • Altman Z'' scoreStatistical model estimating bankruptcy risk, adapted for non-financial firms. Above 2.6 is the safe zone; below 1.1 is the distress zone.
  • Distance to default (Merton)How many standard deviations the firm value sits above its debt level. Above 3 is a comfortable margin.
  • Probability of default (Merton)Estimated chance the firm cannot service its debt over one year. Below 1% means negligible credit risk.
  • Probability of distress (Ohlson)Statistical model estimating the risk of financial distress. Low means a balance sheet under no strain.
  • Probability of distress (Zmijewski)Alternative model for estimating financial distress risk. Low means limited risk; useful as a cross-check on the Ohlson model.

Signs of accounting manipulation at Cameco

Statistical models that look for patterns linked to aggressive reporting. A flag means "worth a closer look", not "fraud".

Good sign

Are there signs of accounting manipulation at Cameco?

No serious flags

The models find no pattern of inflated earnings or massaged numbers at Cameco.

The only point to watch is the Montier score, at 3 out of 6, between the clean and the caution thresholds.

  • Beneish M-scoreModel that detects patterns of aggressive accounting. Below −1.78 means no signals of aggressive reporting. A statistical test, not an accusation.
  • Montier C-scoreSix warning signals about the quality of accounting. 0-1 is clean; 4 or above calls for caution.
  • Dilution from stock-based payHow much of shareholders' stake is diluted by shares granted to employees. Below 2% a year is bearable dilution.
  • Accruals ratio (Sloan)How much of reported profit is accounting only, rather than cash collected. Low or negative means profit is backed by real money.
  • Cash conversion of earningsHow much of accounting profit actually turns into cash. Above 100% means profit is more than covered by real money.
  • Tax rate deviationHow far the tax actually paid differs from the statutory rate in the company’s country. Close to zero is normal. A large, sustained deviation is worth a look at the notes.

The Beneish, Montier and Sloan models are published in academic literature, and the thresholds are those from the original papers.

A statistical screening signal, not an accusation of fraud.

So far this has been about the company. From here on it is about the share: how much it swings, how deep it fell, and whether the move was worth the risk.

Cameco stock volatility: how much the price moves and how far it has fallen

How much Cameco's share price swings, how it moves against the market and how deep its declines have been.

How volatile is Cameco stock?

56.88% volatility over the past year

Over the past year, Cameco stock had annualized volatility of 56.88%, and 48.05% over three years.

Market10%
Cameco12.3%
  • Annualised volatility (1 year)How much the price swings over a year, as a standard deviation. Lower means a smoother ride, not necessarily a higher return.
  • Annualised volatility (3 years)How widely the price swings in a year, measured over the last three. Below 20% is calm; above 40% takes a strong stomach.
  • BetaAgainst the market, over 5 years. How strongly the share moves when the market moves. Below 1 is calmer than the market; above 1 amplifies its moves.
  • Downside betaOnly on days the market falls. How much the share moves against the market, measured ONLY on days the market falls. Lower than ordinary beta = falls less than it rises. Higher = amplifies the falls.
  • Beta over the last yearCalculated on the past year only. The same market sensitivity, but computed on the last twelve months only. Compared with long-term beta, it shows whether the share has turned choppier lately.
  • Raw betaWithout the adjustment toward 1. How much the share moves against the market, without the usual statistical adjustment. Above 1 = moves more than the market. This is the unsmoothed figure; adjusted beta is steadier.

How far has Cameco stock fallen from its peak?

-85.04% largest decline

Cameco stock's largest decline was 85.04%, and getting back to the previous peak took 1,255 days.

The price is now 29.13% below its previous peak.

  • Maximum drawdownFrom peak to trough. The largest peak-to-trough fall over the period analysed. Smaller is easier to sit through.
  • Current drawdownHow far below the previous peak it is now. How far today’s price sits below the highest peak reached. Zero means it is at the peak. The deeper it is, the more there is to recover.
  • Distance from the 52-week highAgainst the highest price of the past year. How far the price sits below its highest level of the past 52 weeks. Near zero = at the high. Deeply negative = it has given up a lot from the peak.
  • Likely worst-case drawdownExceeded on only 5% of days. How deep the fall could be in the worst 5% of scenarios. Lower is better. It is a statistical estimate, not a guaranteed floor.
  • Ulcer index (1 year)How deep and how long the falls of the past year were, in a single figure. Lower is better: it measures discomfort, not just swing.
  • Ulcer index (3 years)How deep and how long the falls below previous peaks have been. Low means few long stretches spent below the peak.
  • Days to recoverUntil it got back to the peak. How many days the price needed to return to its peak after the largest fall. Fewer is better. Hundreds of days means patience was tested.

Volatility is calculated from daily prices, over the last year and the last three years. Beta compares the stock's moves with the market's over the last five years; one-year beta uses only the last twelve months. These measure the past, they are not forecasts. The histogram uses daily closing prices from the last three months.

Cameco stock's risk-adjusted return

The same gain earned with wide or narrow swings is not worth the same. The figures below divide the return by the risk it was earned with.

Worth watching

Was Cameco stock worth the risk?

0.81 Sharpe ratio over one year

Partly. A Sharpe ratio of 0.81 shows Cameco stock returned more than a risk-free investment, but not much for how much it swung.

Over three years, the Sharpe ratio is 0.91, almost the same as in the past year.

Risk ratiosEach divides the gain by a form of risk. The Sharpe and Sortino bars start from 0, the Omega bar from 1, the point where gains equal losses. Each row has its own scale. Below the one-year value you see the three-year value, where it exists.
  • Sharpe ratioReturn above the risk-free rate for each unit of volatility. Above 1 is good; above 2 is remarkable.
  • Sortino ratioLike Sharpe, but only penalising downward swings, not upward ones. Above 1.5 means good return relative to downside risk.
  • Omega ratioThe ratio of gains to losses over the past year, weighted by their size. Above 1 means the good side weighed more than the bad.
  • Total return, 12 monthsPast 12 months, with dividends. Gain over the past year, with dividends reinvested. Compared with the benchmark index, not in isolation.
  • Calmar ratioAgainst the largest decline. Annual return divided by the largest drawdown suffered. Above 0.5 is decent. It says how much return you got for each unit of pain.
  • Treynor ratioAgainst market risk, past year. Return above the risk-free rate divided by beta - against market risk, not total swing. Higher is better. Useful when the share is held in a portfolio rather than alone.

Each one relates the gain to a form of risk: Sharpe to total swings, Sortino only to the downside, Omega weighs gains against losses, Calmar uses the deepest fall, Treynor market risk. Thresholds used: Sharpe and Sortino above 1 good, 0 to 1 moderate, below 0 weak; Omega above 1 good, below 1 weak; Calmar above 0.5 good, 0 to 0.5 moderate, below 0 weak. Treynor has no general threshold, so we show it without a verdict. The words next to the figures are states with established names, not recommendations: “oversold” does not mean “worth buying”. Verdicts appear only on the risk ratios, where there is a clear direction of better.

Cameco's share price has dropped below its 200-day average, although the 50-day average is still above the 200-day one.

  • Above the 200-day averageWhether today’s price is above or below the long-term average. Above is read as a structural uptrend; below, a downtrend.

Is Cameco stock overbought?

34.25 14-day RSI

No. An RSI of 34.25 is close to the 30 threshold, below which Cameco stock would be considered oversold.

Trend strength (ADX) is 21.54, between 20 and 25: the move has a direction, but a weak one.

OscillatorsThey show how stretched the recent price move is. Each scale marks the usual thresholds from technical analysis. These are states with established names, not recommendations.
  • MACD lineDifference between the 12-day and 26-day averages. The gap between the 12-day and the 26-day exponential average - how fast direction is changing. Above the signal and rising means upward momentum.
  • MACD signal9-day average of the MACD line. The nine-day average of the MACD line. It is the threshold the line is read against. It is not judged on its own: what matters is whether the line is above or below it.
  • MACD histogramThe line minus the signal. The gap between the MACD line and its signal - how fast momentum is changing. Positive and rising = upward momentum; negative = downward momentum.
  • On-balance volume slope (50 days)Direction of volume, last 50 days. Where cumulative volume is heading over the last fifty sessions. Positive means more is being accumulated than distributed.
  • Relative strength index (RSI 14)Usual thresholds: 30 and 70. How fast the price rose or fell over the last fourteen days, on a scale from 0 to 100. Below 30 is considered oversold, above 70 overbought. In between, no signal.
  • Commodity channel index (CCI 20)Usual thresholds: -100 and 100. How far the price is from its twenty-day average, measured in typical deviations. Between -100 and +100 is normal; outside that, an unusual move against the recent pattern.
  • Position in the Bollinger bandBetween 0 and 1, the price is inside the band. Where the price sits between the lower band (0) and the upper band (1) of the volatility channel. Below 0 or above 1 means the price has left the channel - rare, and usually brief.
  • Trend strength (ADX 14)Above 25, the trend is clear. How clear the price direction is, whether it rises or falls. Above 25 = a clear trend; below 20 = it moves sideways.

The thresholds marked on the scales are the usual ones in technical analysis: 30 and 70 for RSI, ±100 for CCI, 0 and 1 for the Bollinger band, 20 and 25 for trend strength. They are widely used conventions, not rules. The words next to the figures are states with established names, not recommendations: “oversold” does not mean “worth buying”. Verdicts appear only on the risk ratios, where there is a clear direction of better.
