Investment lays groundwork for potential large-scale uranium enrichment expansion
BETHESDA, Md., Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEU#NYSE">LEU</a>) today announced that it is resuming centrifuge manufacturing activities and expanding its manufacturing capacity at its facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.&nbsp; The company will invest an additional approximately $60 million for this effort over the next 18 months to lay the groundwork to support a potential large-scale expansion of uranium enrichment at the Centrus' American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio.&nbsp; Such a large-scale expansion would require a multi-billion dollar public and private investment.&nbsp;
This announcement follows Centrus' recent success in securing over $2 billion in contingent purchase commitments from customers to support future production of Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU), as well as two awards from the U.S. Department of Energy aimed at enrichment and deconversion of High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU).

Nuclear energy stocks and ETFs have come to the fore as ARK Invest&#8217;s founder Cathie Wood <a href="https://www.ark-invest.com/articles/analyst-research/nuclear-energy-could-contribute-meaningfully-to-securing-net-zero-emissions">reshared the firm&#8217;s study </a>on how regulatory hurdles and anti-nuclear sentiment have caused cost overruns and rendered nuclear energy less cost-competitive than natural gas today.
This comes as Tesla Inc. and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is all set to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) along with Republican politician Vivek Ramaswamy. As the task force promises to dismantle bureaucracy, reduce regulations, and cut wasteful expenditures, ARKinvest tried to redirect DOGE&#8217;s official page on X (formerly Twitter) to focus on the regulatory hurdles that nuclear energy as a sector has faced in the last 20 years.

What Happened: &#8220;The International Energy Agency has identified nuclear energy as vital to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, yet nuclear power in the United States has stagnated at ~20% of the energy mix since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986,&#8221; said an ARKInvest note based on data from IEA as of October 2023.
In addition to its cost-effectiveness, nuclear power provides a reliable, continuous, and carbon-free supply of energy. These are important now since an explosion in demand for artificial intelligence is taxing the electricity consumption of data centers.

Daniel Maguire, research associate at ARKInvest stated in his report dated April 2024 that stringent regulatory changes and anti-nuclear sentiment have stunted the build-out of nuclear capacity and caused cost overruns in developing US nuclear plants.
Regulatory changes in the mid-to-late seventies, including the establishment of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Energy Research and Development Administration, introduced stricter licensing measures, increasing costs significantly. Without such stringent regulations, ARKInvest&#8217;s research suggests that lower cost trajectories could have saved the US about $345 billion, or ~72% of the total.

Why It Matters: With the introduction of the U.S. Advanced Reactor Demonstration Project and other emerging government support programs, nuclear cost overruns should reverse course as countries look for robust clean energy solutions to meet their net carbon emissions reduction commitments.
Maguire&#8217;s tweet shared by Wood, tagged the Department of Government Efficiency, to bring this to light. The department is scheduled to complete its work by July 4, 2026, coinciding with America's 250th independence anniversary. Focus on this area could help spur activity in the nuclear energy sector by developing clean, carbon-free energy production avenues at lower costs.

Russia Has Imposed Temporary Restrictions On The Export Of Enriched Uranium To The U.S.; Russian Government Says Exception Is For Supplies Under One-Off Licences Issued By Federal Service For Technical And Export Control

Centrus Energy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEU#NYSE">LEU</a>) short percent of float has risen 9.67% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.01 million shares sold short, which is 12.93% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.29 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Centrus Energy Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731080716_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Centrus Energy has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Centrus Energy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Centrus Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.89%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Looking Into Centrus Energy's Recent Short Interest

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Day After</h3>
I wrote a post on ZeroHedge this morning ("<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2024-11-06/victory">Trump Victory</a>") which included a number of reactions to Trump's astonishing victory last night. Trump became the first President to win in non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland, 127 years ago. Here, I'll confine myself to some market-related comments.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Betting Markets</h3>
In&nbsp;<a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/betting-on-the-election">a post</a>&nbsp;here a couple of weeks ago, I wrote about betting on the election.
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/betting-on-the-election"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="917" height="626" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084434/Betting-On-The-Election--1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3043" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084434/Betting-On-The-Election--1.jpg 917w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084434/Betting-On-The-Election--1-300x205.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084434/Betting-On-The-Election--1-768x524.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 917px) 100vw, 917px" /></a></figure>
I mentioned that I had Trump to win at 44 cents on PredictIt, and a couple of bets on a new site,&nbsp;<a href="http://kalshi.com/sign-up/?referral=0297c7e8-2fe6-4b35-8f98-0366b8795934">Kalshi</a>:
<ol>
<li>Trump to win Wisconsin at 52%.</li>
<li>Republicans to win the White House, House, and Senate at 47%.</li>
</ol>
After that post, I added a few additional bets. One was "Kamala No" on PredictIt, when that dropped to 48 cents. I cashed out of my PredictIt bets at 97 cents and 98 cents, respectively, for gains of a little over 100% before PredictIt's 5% exit fee.
Trump won Wisconsin; all the House races haven't settled yet, but it looks like our Republican sweep bet will cash too.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks Benefiting From The Trump Win</h3>
Six names we have positions in posted double-digit gains the day after Trump's win:
 Centrus Energy Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEU#NYSE">LEU</a>). This is a uranium name we opened a call spread on last week.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-the-nuclear-option"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="882" height="606" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084722/The-Nuclear-Option.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3044" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084722/The-Nuclear-Option.jpg 882w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084722/The-Nuclear-Option-300x206.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084722/The-Nuclear-Option-768x528.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 882px) 100vw, 882px" /></a></figure>
Robinhood Markets, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>). That was the crypto-related name in our Nuclear Option post above, and our trade was buying the $32 strike calls on it for $2.30. Those calls were trading at $4.90 as of Wednesday's close. 
Bit Digital, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTBT#NASDAQ">BTBT</a>). That's the Bitcoin miner with operations in Ethereum staking and AI that was one of our two lottery tickets in this post in September.&nbsp;<a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-two-lottery-tickets"></a>
Tesla, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). We opened another trade on Tesla earlier this week. That was the less-contrarian trade in this post. Our Tesla trade is a call spread which will generate a 300% gain if Tesla closes above $350 per share at the end of next year.&nbsp;

Emergent BioSolutions, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBS#NYSE">EBS</a>). Our trade here was buying the $9 strike calls expiring on December 20th for $2.05. EBS beat earnings on Wednesday and was up 24.46% after hours.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-biotech"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="888" height="596" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07085412/Biotech.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3046" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07085412/Biotech.jpg 888w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07085412/Biotech-300x201.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07085412/Biotech-768x515.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 888px) 100vw, 888px" /></a></figure>
Powell Industries, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POWL#NASDAQ">POWL</a>). Our most recent trade here was a call spread betting on POWL being above $300 by next May. It closed at $347 today.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks That Tumbled The Day After</h2>
<ol>
<li>Super Micro Computer, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>). That was the contrarian trade mentioned in the same post with Tesla above. Our bet was that most of the bad news was in the rearview. So there was a good chance the stock would bounce after earnings on Tuesday. Unfortunately, they didn't offer any timeline about getting a new auditor and the stock plummeted on Wednesday.</li>
<li>Rivian Automotive, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>). This EV maker was in a number of analysts "Harris basket" of stocks. Meanwhile, they had Tesla in their Trump baskets, and it plummeted about 9% after Trump won. We opened a position in this one back in April, buying the $15 strike calls expiring in January for $1.84. Fortunately, we sold half of those calls at $5.55 in July, for a 202% gain. So we are playing with the house's money on this one. And the company reports earnings after the close on Thursday. Maybe they'll have some good news then. </li>

Napco Security Technologies Posts Downbeat Results, Joins Centrus Energy, Constellation Energy And Other Big Stocks Moving Lower In Monday's Pre-Market Session

Centrus Energy Secures DOE Waiver To Import Russian Low-Enriched Uranium For Foreign Customers In 2025; First Waiver Approved For U.S. Deliveries Through 2025 With Future Waivers Uncertain For 2026-2027

Centrus Energy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEU#NYSE">LEU</a>) short percent of float has risen 9.67% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.01 million shares sold short, which is 12.93% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.29 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Centrus Energy Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730380514_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Centrus Energy has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Centrus Energy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Centrus Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.89%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
