Centrus Energy (NYSE: LEU) began 2025 with a share price around $74 and surged to a 52-week high of approximately $464 in mid-October, marking a 527% increase, before dropping nearly 50% to about $234. Despite this volatility, Centrus remains committed to its role in U.S. uranium enrichment, having delivered 900 kilograms of high-assay, low-enriched uranium to the Department of Energy in June. The stock’s decline reflects a broader market adjustment in nuclear stocks, as investors recalibrate expectations away from tech-like growth. This situation highlights the reality that Centrus’s margins will not match those of high-growth tech companies like Nvidia.
