Centrus Energy Corp. (LEU) — Stock Score Summary

Centrus Energy Corp. (LEU) has a MoatMap StockRank of 1/100 based on Quality (39/100), Value (16/100), and Momentum (11/100) factor scores. The current signal is STRONG SELL. Centrus Energy is the sole US-licensed producer of High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU), a critical fuel for next-generation small modular reactors (SMRs). As the West aggressively decouples from Russian nuclear fuel supply (Rosatom) and hyperscalers demand 24/7 clean baseload power for AI data centers, Centrus sits at a critical geopolitical and technological chokepoint. Its regulatory moat is virtually un-copyable, and its long-term order book is expanding rapidly, creating a highly asymmetric growth profile.

Centrus Energy Corp. is a trusted supplier of nuclear fuel and services for commercial nuclear power plants, specializing in the supply of low-enriched uranium (LEU) and the development of High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU). The company is a critical partner to the US government and commercial utilities, operating the only federally licensed HALEU production facility in the United States. Its competitive moat is defined by its unique regulatory licenses, domestic enrichment capabilities, and long-term supply contracts.
