Cameco Corporation (NASDAQ:CCJ) stock, among other uranium related stocks, are moving higher in possible sympathy with Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:CEG).
What Happened: Constellation signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) which will aid in the launch of Crane Clean Energy Center and the restart of Three Mile Island Unit 1, a nuclear power plant that shut down in 2019 due to economic reasons.
Through the agreement, Microsoft will purchase energy from the restored plant as part of its plan to offset the power consumption of its data centers in PJM with carbon-free energy. PJM is an electrical grid that supplies energy to 13 states and Washington, D.C.
The project is anticipated to add about 835 megawatts of carbon free energy to the grid and create 3,400 direct and indirect jobs. The Crane Clean Energy Center is anticipated to begin functioning by 2028, depending on approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and receipt of other state and local permits.
How To Buy Cameco Shares
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Cameco (NYSE:CCJ) – 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 possible trading platforms here. Many will allow you to buy 'fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
In the the case of Cameco (NYSE:CCJ), which is trading at $44.43 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 2.25 shares of stock.
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 'go short' 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 off of the share price decline.
