0742 ET - Uranium Energy is making big leaps in its plans to build out its uranium supply in Canada and the U.S., but there are risks to its ambitious expansion plans. RBC's Andrew Wong notes that the company is ramping uranium production in Wyoming and Texas, developing the Roughrider project in Saskatchewan, and plans to build new uranium conversion capacity in the U.S. "We see the industrial logic, US-origin benefit, and need for more domestic conversion capacity," Wong says, but notes that building greenfield conversion in the U.S. comes with significant risks and plan details are currently limited. RBC initiates coverage on the stock with a sector perform rating with a speculative risk qualifier, and a price target of $10. Shares are down 20% year-to-date at $9.36.
