Prediction: Cameco's Westinghouse Stake Becomes the Real Growth Story by 2028
Cameco (CCJ) holds a 49% stake in Westinghouse, which filed for an IPO. Westinghouse's projects in the U.S. and Europe could boost Cameco's earnings by 2028. The U.S. DoE committed $17.5B to Westinghouse for nuclear reactor projects, with construction set to begin in 2030.
