Today’s Featured Stock
Energy Fuels (UUUU), valued at $5.5 billion, is yet another stock soaring on rare earth mineral hopes as U.S.-China trade tensions stay hot.
The company has primarily been involved in mining, processing, and developing uranium and vanadium in the U.S., and says it supplies uranium for nuclear power facilities. This industry alone has been hot, thanks to artificial intelligence driving up energy demand and turning investor attention to the untapped world of nuclear energy.
But nothing has been hotter than rare earth minerals. Energy Fuels announced in April that it could use its existing infrastructure to produce six rare earth oxides, including samarium, gadolinium, and yttrium.
China continues to dominate the rare earth industry, so the U.S. has been desperate to improve its supply chain of the critical minerals. Denver-based Energy Fuels wants to position itself at the center of this opportunity.
After China ramped up restrictions on U.S. exports of its rare earth minerals, investor frenzy is only growing. The hope is that President Donald Trump’s administration will invest in more U.S.-based companies, and investors are betting Energy Fuels could be on the short list.
What I’m Watching

UUUU checks those boxes. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a new “Buy” on Aug. 22, the stock has gained 132%.

Analyst and Investor Sentiment on Energy Fuels
As Jim Van Meerten, our regular Chart of the Day columnist, always says, “I don’t buy stocks because everyone else is buying, but I do realize that if major firms and investors are dumping stock, it’s hard to make money swimming against the tide.”
Energy Fuels has limited analyst coverage, but it seems that those who do follow the stock are moderately positive on it.
- The analysts tracked by Barchart give it 3 “Strong Buy” ratings and 2 “Hold” ratings.
- Their price targets are between $7.25-$22. Investors should note that Energy Fuels has surpassed even the high price target of $22.
The Bottom Line on Energy Fuels
Energy Fuels, like so many other rare earth stocks, has been on a tear higher in 2025, and rightfully so. The U.S. government has already taken stakes in MP Materials (MP) and Trilogy Metals (TMQ), and has expressed interest in other mining projects. It’s understandable why investors expect that Energy Fuels could receive similar interest.
However, this is not a guarantee, and disappointment could send Energy Fuels shares plunging. Plus, its price-sales ratio is steep compared to an industry median of 1.3x. Huge projected revenue growth in 2026 could make its valuation more compelling, but the U.S. rare earth supply chain remains unproven.
Investors should be mindful of volatility and proceed with caution.
