Here’s whether Cameco Corporation (CCJ) is worth buying in 2026 —
based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs.
the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
🟡
Caution
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); strong 1-year return of +29.4%. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); 50-day MA is falling (-2.85% over 10 days); 3-month momentum negative (-9.1%). Currently 27.7% off its 52-week high. Score: -2/7.
CCJ is trading below its 200-day MA ($104.98) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 66.3 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +29.4% compares to +20.4% for SPY (beat the market by 9.0%). The current 27.7% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
