Centrus' backlog is nearly 10 times its projected 2026 revenue. But its revenue and EPS will decline over the next few years as its core business undergoes a capital-intensive transformation.
Centrus Energy (LEU) was a big mover last session on higher-than-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions might not help the stock continue moving higher in the near term.
Centrus Energy Corp. is now attractively valued after a 66% decline from recent highs, offering a compelling entry for nuclear energy exposure. I am considering a staged Buy of LEU stock with a 1-3% NAV allocation, recognizing high execution risk and technical volatility. My discounted earnings model suggests a 21.5% margin of safety, assuming 15% EPS CAGR over 20 years despite near-term earnings contraction.
