The U.S. Department of Energy announced a pivotal new program to resurrect America&#8217;s nuclear fuel supply chain, a development that potentially places domestic uranium producer Energy Fuels Inc (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUUU#AMEX">UUUU</a>) in a favorable position.
What To Know: The DOE on Wednesday <a href="https://www.energy.gov/articles/energy-department-announces-pilot-program-build-advanced-us-nuclear-fuel-lines-and-end">issued</a> a Request for Application inviting qualified U.S. companies to build and operate nuclear fuel production lines. This initiative aims to eliminate U.S. reliance on foreign enriched uranium and fuel the nation&#8217;s advanced reactor development.
Energy Fuels, which owns and operates the White Mesa Mill in Utah, the only fully licensed conventional uranium mill in the U.S., is seen as a primary candidate. The company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n46106647/energy-fuels-donald-rare-earth-and-mineral-sand-joint-venture-in-australia-receives-final-major-re">existing infrastructure</a>, operational expertise and stated ambition to create an integrated domestic fuel cycle align directly with the program&#8217;s objectives and criteria of technological readiness.
The initiative provides a fast-tracked DOE authorization process intended to de-risk and attract private investment into fuel fabrication. While selected companies will bear all costs, participation could secure long-term strategic value. 
For Energy Fuels investors, this government-backed push to onshore the nuclear supply chain represents a significant potential catalyst, validating the company&#8217;s strategic importance in America&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.energy.gov/articles/energy-department-announces-pilot-program-build-advanced-us-nuclear-fuel-lines-and-end">nuclear renaissance</a>.&#8221; Initial applications are due Aug. 15, 2025.
Benzinga Edge Rankings: According to <a href="http://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Edge</a> stock rankings, Energy Fuels exhibits exceptionally strong price momentum with a score of 87.68. This high rating indicates the stock has been outperforming its peers significantly in recent price action. 
However, the stock scores poorly on fundamental metrics. Its Value score is a low 25.19, suggesting it may be expensive relative to its financial performance. Similarly, its Growth score is weak at 23.73, pointing to lackluster historical or projected growth. 
This data profile characterizes UUUU as a stock with strong recent trading performance but weaker underlying value and growth fundamentals.
UUUU Price Action: According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, Energy Fuel shares closed Wednesday&#8217;s session higher by 6.19% to $8.24. The stock has a 52-week high of $8.29 and a 52-week low of $3.20.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy UUUU Stock</h2>
By now, you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Energy Fuels — be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.

If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a stock can be found at this resource. Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading; either way, it allows you to profit from the share price decline.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Uranium&#8217;s Heating Up</h2>
Behind the surge is a combination of tight supply, rising demand, and a geopolitical backdrop that's becoming increasingly favorable for nuclear energy. Uranium spot prices have jumped nearly 30% year-to-date, with buyers scrambling to secure future supply as global stockpiles dwindle.
Governments are changing their tune. France is committing to new reactors, and Japan is reactivating nuclear plants post-Fukushima. Even in the U.S., nuclear is no longer a third-rail issue—the administration's Inflation Reduction Act allocates billions to support domestic nuclear fuel development.
Investors have noticed. The Sprott Uranium Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URNM#NYSE">URNM</a>) and Global X Uranium ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URA#NYSE">URA</a>) have soared more than 27% YTD, handily outperforming the S&amp;P 500.
Meanwhile, uranium majors like Cameco Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>) and NexGen Energy Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXE#NYSE">NXE</a>) are up over 35% and 28% respectively, over the same stretch.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Makes This Rally Different</h2>
Unlike past uranium spikes driven by hype, this rally is grounded in fundamentals. The world's push for decarbonization is putting nuclear and uranium in the spotlight. Utilities are returning to long-term uranium contracting after years of underinvestment and supply-side stagnation.
Retail interest is picking up, too. Google search trends for "uranium stocks" have hit multi-year <a href="https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%203-m&amp;geo=US&amp;q=uranium%20stocks&amp;hl=en">highs</a>, and uranium-focused subreddits are seeing traffic spikes. The uranium narrative is no longer niche &#8211; it's becoming mainstream.
For U.S. investors, CCJ remains the blue-chip play. NXE, Denison Mines Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNN#NYSE">DNN</a>) and Energy Fuels Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUUU#NYSE">UUUU</a>) offer higher-risk, higher-reward exposure. URNM and URA provide diversified bets on the entire value chain.
If this 11-week winning streak is any indication, the uranium bull market is not just alive—it's glowing.

Energy Fuels shares are trading higher after the company reported record Uranium production, announced it expanded its resource base based on a technical report of its Bullfrog project in Utah, and is engaging with consultants for an accelerated permitting process with regulators in New Mexico.

Energy Fuels Reports Record Uranium Production and Expands Resource Base With New Bullfrog Technical Report And Accelerated U.S. Permitting

Uranium- and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">nuclear-themed ETFs</a> spiked sharply Friday after news emerged that the domestic nuclear industry is set to be overhauled with executive orders from President Donald Trump.
Policy-driven optimism sent nuclear-themed ETFs—spanning reactor developers to uranium miners—soaring on a wave of investor interest. With Trump signaling long-term support, this momentum may have staying power.
Global X Uranium ETF Leads The Charge
The Global X Uranium ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URA#NYSE">URA</a>), a key benchmark for uranium stocks, jumped 11% Friday, driven by gains in top uranium miners and component makers. URA led all thematic ETFs for the day.
The North Shore Global Uranium Mining ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URNM#NYSE">URNM</a>) and VanEck Uranium+Nuclear Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NLR#NYSE">NLR</a>) also surged around 9%, as broad momentum lifted nuclear stocks. These funds continue to attract investors seeking diversified, liquid exposure to a sector highly sensitive to policy and geopolitical shifts.

What&#8217;s Driving The Rally
A growing narrative is fueling the rally: nuclear power may gain new policy support. Reuters reports Trump plans to invoke the Defense Production Act to declare a national emergency over U.S. dependence on foreign uranium and fast-track approvals for domestic reactors and infrastructure.
This comes as U.S. electricity demand rises for the first time in 20 years, driven by energy-hungry AI and data centers. With solar and wind constrained by storage and reliability issues, nuclear is gaining traction as a stable alternative.
ETFs Provide Focused Exposure Amid Volatility
While spot uranium miners like Uranium Energy Corp. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UEC#AMEX">UEC</a>), Energy Fuels Inc. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUUU#AMEX">UUUU</a>), and Snow Lake Resources (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LITM#NASDAQ">LITM</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/mid-cap/25/05/45587750/uranium-stocks-surge-trumps-nuclear-push-sparks-double-digit-gains">experienced double-digit increases</a>, up 23.7%, 16.0%, and 13.2% respectively, ETF investors enjoyed diversified exposure that lessens single-stock risk. URA, for example, has more than 40 holdings across mining, utility, and nuclear technology names.
In addition to miners, ETFs also picked up on the upside in more advanced nuclear companies such as Oklo Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) and Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNE#NASDAQ">NNE</a>), which surged more than 27% each in response to news of Trump&#8217;s policy initiatives. Utility stocks such as Constellation Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>) and Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) also added to ETF returns.
Investor Implications 
For investors seeking exposure without the volatility of individual stocks, nuclear-themed ETFs offer an attractive alternative. Fund flows could accelerate if executive orders signal a lasting policy shift toward nuclear energy.
These ETFs also benefit from rising institutional demand for clean, reliable power, especially as AI-driven energy needs grow. Analysts note that a sustained rally in uranium prices, driven by supply constraints, could lift uranium-heavy ETFs as well.
Conclusion
Trump's nuclear energy push has reignited interest in a long-overlooked sector. As the political landscape shifts, ETF investors are positioning for a potential long-term energy pivot. Uranium and nuclear ETFs now reflect the intersection of policy, innovation, and surging tech-driven power demand.

Trump Sparks Uranium Frenzy: Nuclear ETFs See Explosive Gains

LTBR

Shares of nuclear stocks are trading higher on reports indicating Trump will sign executive orders to ease regulatory requirements for new reactors.

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives highlighted nuclear energy stocks in a note released Friday and pointed to Oklo, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) as the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45583796/nuclear-stocks-oklo-nano-nuclear-constellation-energy-surge-in-friday-pre-market-whats-going-on"> star of the sector.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: President Donald Trump is expected to sign executive orders as early as Friday to boost the nuclear energy industry by streamlining approvals for new reactors and strengthening fuel supply chains.

The anticipated executive orders are expected to direct federal agencies to expedite permitting and siting of new nuclear facilities and instruct the Departments of Energy and Defense to identify federal lands and facilities suitable for nuclear deployment, bypassing some of the current Nuclear Regulatory Commission hurdles.
Expert Ideas: Ives pointed to Oklo as a primary beneficiary of Trump's policy changes. It plans to submit a combined license application by the end of 2025 and deploy its first commercial power plant by 2027. Increased federal support and streamlined regulation could accelerate this.
Oklo's business model of building, owning and operating its own reactors while selling power directly to customers under long-term contracts positions it well for recurring revenues and addresses common pain points in nuclear projects, Ives said.&nbsp;
He sees Oklo as "set to be a major player" in the "AI Revolution datacenter buildout."
Wedbush maintained an Outperform rating on Oklo stock and raised its price target from $45 to $55. 
Other Nuclear Stocks: The Wedbush senior analyst also highlighted other companies likely to benefit from the executive orders including nuclear energy stocks such as NuScale Power Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMR#NYSE">SMR</a>), Lightbridge Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LTBR#NASDAQ">LTBR</a>) and Centrus Energy Corp. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEU#AMEX">LEU</a>), as well as uranium suppliers like Energy Fuels Inc. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUUU#AMEX">UUUU</a>), Cameco Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>), Uranium Energy Corp. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UEC#AMEX">UEC</a>) and Nexgen Energy Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXE#NYSE">NXE</a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;

Oklo Stock To Go Nuclear? Analyst Calls It A 'Major AI Revolution Player'

Uranium stocks surged Friday morning as investors digested reports that President Donald Trump will sign a series of executive orders aimed at revitalizing the nuclear energy sector. Here's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45583796/nuclear-stocks-oklo-nano-nuclear-constellation-energy-surge-in-friday-pre-market-whats-going-on"> what to know.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: President Trump is expected to invoke the Defense Production Act to declare a national emergency over U.S. reliance on foreign uranium supplies and direct federal agencies to accelerate nuclear project development.&nbsp;
Trump's anticipated executive actions come as the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and data centers has driven a significant rise in the demand for power.&nbsp;

Nuclear Fuel: Uranium fuels nuclear power by serving as the primary material for nuclear fission inside a reactor and larger quantities would be needed if nuclear power generators were to expand. 
A revitalization of nuclear power would be highly positive for the uranium sector, with investors betting on increased demand and higher uranium prices in the coming years.&nbsp;
Uranium miner stocks, including Energy Fuels Inc. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUUU#AMEX">UUUU</a>), Snow Lake Resources Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LITM#NASDAQ">LITM</a>), and Uranium Energy Corp. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UEC#AMEX">UEC</a>), blasted higher Friday morning as investors anticipated the White House&#8217;s announcement on nuclear power expansion.  
The Global X Uranium ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URA#NYSE">URA</a>), tracking a market-cap-weighted index of companies involved in uranium mining and the production of nuclear components, climbed more than 6%. 
Nuclear utility stocks and technology developers also benefited, with companies like Constellation Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>), Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>), Oklo, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) and Nano Nuclear Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNE#NASDAQ">NNE</a>) all posting notable increases.
