I noticed the nuclear tape still prices Cameco, Kazatomprom, NexGen, and Uranium Energy as one uranium-spot trade. I don't think they are.
Cameco is already contracted for more than 28 million pounds a year through 2030. Q2 realized US$67.79/lb against US$85.18 spot. That's old ceilings, not a scarcity premium. KAP realized $66.61 the same quarter. Similar price, no Western lock-in.
NexGen has 10 million pounds of offtake against up to 30 million pounds a year of nameplate. UEC sold nothing in Q3 FY26 on purpose.
The sort is whether a name is already inside a utility fuel plan, or still a call on the pound. Realized price this quarter does not settle it. Both producers are lagging spot.

Mine. Not advice. Is Cameco in that basket because of the realized price, or are NXE and UEC the actual spot trade?
