Investing.com - Stifel has reiterated a Buy rating and $10.50 price target on Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE:UEC), whose stock has surged over 100% in the past year and is trading near its 52-week high. The latest catalyst comes as the company’s Sweetwater Complex received a FAST-41 transparency project designation.
The Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council granted this designation to UEC’s Wyoming facility, coming after the March 2025 Executive Order aimed at increasing domestic mineral production in the United States. InvestingPro data shows the company maintains a strong financial position with more cash than debt and a healthy current ratio above 10x.
UEC aims to enable in-situ recovery (ISR) within Sweetwater’s existing mine permit boundary and expand the boundary to include nearby ISR-amenable deposits, according to Stifel’s analysis.
If permits are approved, the Sweetwater Processing Plant would become the largest uranium production facility in the United States, featuring dual-feed capacity for both conventional and ISR resin processing methods.
Stifel views the FAST-41 designation as "directionally positive," noting it should support faster permitting timelines and increased transparency for the project, reinforcing the firm’s thesis about increasing U.S. domestic demand for uranium. With analysts projecting significant sales growth and 15 additional key insights available on InvestingPro, investors can gain a deeper understanding of UEC’s growth trajectory.
