In a Jan. 27 research note, analyst Joe Reagor reported that ROTH Capital Partners raised its target price on Uranium Energy Corp. (UEC:NYSE AMERICAN) to $2.90 per share from $2.40 after the company announced its plan to advance its Burke Hollow uranium project in Texas. The current share price is about $1.67.
"The Burke Hollow advancement is positive," Reagor added.
He explained why and described the 2021 work plan for the project, estimated to cost less than $2 million.
At Burke Hollow this year, Uranium Energy intends to install 45 more monitoring wells and do further exploration and infill drilling. This work, Reagor highlighted, should "bring the project for construction decision." Should the company choose to move forward, construction would take about 12–18 months, the analyst estimated.
Also positive for Uranium Energy, Reagor pointed out, is the recent tailwind behind the uranium sector. New investors interested in companies meeting environmental, social and governance criteria recently have been looking to put their money in nuclear energy supply chain stocks.
Reagor noted that generally those investors believe nuclear power will play a large role in achieving and sustaining carbon neutrality.
"We tend to agree with this view, and thus we believe the increases in valuations are sustainable," he wrote. "UEC is poised to benefit from new investment in the uranium industry."
Those increased valuations throughout the uranium mining space, as well as Uranium Energy's investment in Uranium Royalty Corp., also led to ROTH's target price increase on Uranium Energy.
ROTH has a Buy rating Uranium Energy.
