LEU share price
What they do
- Supplies low-enriched uranium (LEU) to utilities and operates the American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio.
- Began HALEU production at Piketon under a U.S. Department of Energy demonstration contract, the first new U.S.-owned, U.S.-technology enrichment plant to begin production in decades.
The ticker LEU is literally the product acronym. Watch the short interest column: the stock is heavily shorted and trades with high volatility around contract and policy news.
Pure play: Enriched uranium supply and technical solutions are the company's two reportable segments; both are nuclear fuel businesses.
