HTSC pointed out that while the momentum for a sharp rise in natural Uranium prices is lacking in the short term, they remain Bullish on the upward trend of Uranium prices driven by supply and demand gaps in the medium to long term. The bank noted that the natural Uranium spot market exhibits strong financial attributes, and the rapid decline in prices may be due to the minimal actual impact of the US-Russia enriched Uranium ban, a decrease in expectations for international conflicts following Trump’s entry into office, and cautious market sentiment arising from the easing of supply and demand tensions with the resumption of Uranium mines. The resilience of long-term contract Uranium prices further reflects the underlying tension in the Industry regarding supply and demand.
Zhaoyin International pointed out that considering the 15% dividend withholding tax in the future and the recent decline in Uranium prices, the bank has revised down its price assumptions for 2025E/26E by 18%/16% to 75/83 USD per pound, with profit forecasts lowered by 28%/35% respectively. Nevertheless, the bank believes the current large contract/spot price differential (80/65 USD per pound in February) will help limit further declines in spot prices. Additionally, the bank expects that under the new mechanism for mineral resource tax in Kazakhstan in 2026, the relevant tax rates for the company will decrease. The Target Price based on net present value (NPV) has been adjusted from 2.36 HKD to 2.18 HKD, maintaining a "Buy" rating.
