Cameco is trading at CA$138.97, +4.13%, after Jefferies initiated coverage with a Buy rating.

  • The initiation came before the September 3, 2026 open; Jefferies set a US$138 price target and called Cameco undervalued and positioned for Western nuclear expansion.
  • The analyst note was the dominant sentiment driver; broader gains in major indexes and uranium-sector peers added support.
  • Shares reached a session high, with constructive nuclear-demand expectations and Cameco’s Westinghouse exposure amplifying the company-specific move.
