Cameco shares climbed after the company signed a major nine-year agreement to supply nearly 22 million pounds of uranium concentrate to India’s Department of Atomic Energy from 2027 to 2035, a deal valued at about $2.6 billion and folded into its long-term contracting strategy. The sizable, predictable revenue stream strengthened investor confidence in Cameco’s growth outlook.
Following the announcement, analysts remained broadly optimistic on the stock but adjusted their views with only modest and mixed changes to their price targets. The analyst response suggests the market was already expecting some positive contract wins, yet this deal still reinforced the bullish long-term case for Cameco’s uranium business.
