Cameco 2Q Profit Slides, Revenue Down
Dow Jones2026/07/31 11:06By Adriano Marchese
Cameco's second-quarter profit and revenue fell largely due to lower equity earnings from its investment in Westinghouse Electric.
The Canadian uranium producer on Friday posted a steep decline in net income to 25 million Canadian dollars ($17.8 million), or C$0.06 a share, down from C$321 million, or C$0.74 a share, in the comparable quarter a year ago.
Cameco said the decline was primarily due to lower equity earnings from its investment in Westinghouse Electric, co-owned with Brookfield Renewable Partners.
Adjusted earnings were C$0.18 a share, missing the C$0.36 a share analysts were expecting, according to FactSet.
Revenue fell 7% to C$814 million, missing forecasts of a less precipitous decline of C$823.3 million.
The company said the quarter's performance reflects typical quarterly variability, but uranium production was impacted by challenging spring road conditions along its northern Saskatchewan supply routes.
The company noted that its annual production outlook remains unchanged.

IMF: Global debt will exceed GDP in 2029
The latest forecast from the IMF shows that global public debt will exceed 100% of GDP by 2029, two years earlier than previously expected. The IMF Managing Director issued a rare warning, specifically naming the United States’ debt path as “unsustainable” and pointing out that fiscal consolidation in various countries is seriously lagging. What's even more dangerous is that persistent inflation may force the Federal Reserve to continue raising interest rates, increasing financing costs and creating a vicious cycle of "high debt—high interest rates—even higher debt."
