NexGen Energy shares are sliding as investors react to a recent earnings miss combined with the sudden move to replace its external auditor, KPMG LLP. These fresh worries are landing on a market already uneasy after a February short-seller report from Culper Research accused the company of overvaluing its Rook I project and serving as an insider enrichment vehicle.
The selling pressure has grown more intense as the stock has broken below key technical support levels on rising trading volume. The drop is also being amplified by a broader cooling in uranium futures prices, which is souring sentiment toward the entire sector and leaving NexGen especially vulnerable to further downside.
