As previously reported, Needham initiated coverage of Centrus Energy with a Buy rating and $357 price target. Centrus is moving from a profitable Low Enriched Uranium broker into "a strategic anchor of U.S. enrichment security," the analyst tells investors. Centrus stands at the center of a multi-decade domestic fuel-cycle rebuild with Russian supply exiting, pricing at record highs, DOE procurement frameworks in place, $3.9B of backlog, the company's NRC license, first-mover HALEU capability, and a strengthened liquidity position, the analyst added.

Reason
UBS raised the firm's price target on Centrus Energy to $245 from $215 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The significant decline in year over year separative work unit prices indicates volumes were likely contracted near a trough in long-term SWU prices and present a potential near-term headwind, and Centrus is likely to benefit from higher SWU prices longer-term, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

BofA lowered the firm's price target on Centrus Energy to $285 from $340 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm is refreshing its price forecasts for North American Metals & Mining stocks under its coverage, the analyst tells investors. The firm sees the macro backdrop as challenging due to China's slowing commodity demand but notes this may be offset by a rebound in demand in U.S. and Europe.
