$13.79

  • NexGen Energy has shown a strong performance, increasing by 17.4%.

Summary

L1 Capital

30 Sept 2025

$13.79

  • NexGen Energy is a prospective uranium miner with a market capitalisation of ~C$8b.
  • The company owns the Rook I project, which contains the world’s largest undeveloped uranium deposit, Arrow, located in Saskatchewan, Canada.
  • NexGen is preparing to address the medium-term market deficit in uranium supply.
  • The final stage of Canadian federal approval is underway, with a commission hearing expected to conclude in H1 26.
  • Once developed, Arrow could produce ~29Mlb of uranium per annum for the first five years, making it the largest uranium mine globally.
  • NexGen raised over C$950m to fund the development of Arrow, providing a cash balance of ~C$1.25b post-raise.
  • The company is pursuing project finance debt and is funded to first production, with total capex estimated at C$2.2b.
  • Management has a strong alignment with shareholders, holding 7% ownership.
  • Core investment thesis highlights:
    • Tier 1 project: Rook I has capacity for nearly 30Mlb of uranium per annum, with a low operating cost of ~US$10/lb.
    • Leverage to uranium prices: NexGen's production is largely uncontracted, retaining upside exposure to spot prices.
    • Material valuation support: At US$80/lb uranium, Rook I has annual EBITDA of ~C$2.8b and post-tax cash generation of ~C$1.7b.
    • Significant exploration upside: Potential conversion of ~80Mlb of inferred resources and discovery of the Patterson Corridor East deposit.
  • NexGen’s stock moved higher as spot uranium prices rose 10% in September, closing at US$82/lb.
  • Recent downgrades from major producers indicate supply uncertainty, further supporting NexGen's position.

Summary

L1 Capital

31 July 2025

$10.60

  • NexGen Energy (Long +47%) saw an increase as spot uranium prices rose 16% during the June quarter, closing at US$74/lb.
  • This rise largely recovered the Q1 25 spot uranium price decline, which was influenced by low volumes and uncertainty regarding U.S. tariff policy.
  • Despite this, uranium ‘term’ prices remained steady over the past six months.
  • Sentiment improved as President Trump signed executive orders to accelerate U.S. nuclear investment, targeting a quadrupling of U.S. nuclear capacity from ~100GW to 400GW by 2050.
  • NexGen is preparing to develop the world’s largest undeveloped uranium deposit, Arrow, in Saskatchewan, Canada.
  • This project will serve as a strategic Western source to address the looming uranium market deficit.
  • The company is entering the final stage of Federal approval, with a commission hearing expected to conclude in H1 26, allowing for full-scale project construction to commence.
  • Once developed, Arrow has the potential to generate over C$2b in annual cash flow, based on conservative uranium price estimates.
  • This proposition is compelling given NexGen’s current market cap of only ~C$5b.
