Energy Fuels stock rating raised to Buy at Roth/MKM

On Friday, Roth/MKM analysts increased their outlook on Energy Fuels (NYSE:UUUU) stock, upgrading it from Neutral to Buy and raising the price target to $5.75 from $5.50. The upgrade was based on the resolution of several concerns that the analysts had previously identified. Energy Fuels has successfully raised substantial capital, which is expected to support the advancement of near-term projects. Additionally, the company has settled its issues with the Navajo Nation, which had been a point of contention. According to InvestingPro data, the stock has experienced significant pressure recently, falling 13.4% in the past week and trading near its 52-week low of $3.99.

The analysts noted that Energy Fuels’ valuation has become attractive, now falling below their revised price target. This adjustment reflects a belief in the company’s improved financial positioning and potential for growth. InvestingPro data reveals strong financial health indicators, with a current ratio of 3.88 and more cash than debt on its balance sheet. While the fourth-quarter financial results were also taken into consideration, they appeared to have a minimal impact on the company’s valuation according to the analysts’ assessment.
