Paladin Energy (ASX:PDN), operator of the Langer Heinrich uranium mine in Namibia, is attractive to some fund managers for its uranium exposure but doubted by others on execution. In July 2026, Alphinity and Maple-Brown Abbott both rated Paladin a sell, with Alphinity liking uranium as a commodity but citing repeated operational downgrades and FY27 expectations it considers too high. Acorn Capital noted a strong December quarter, with production up 16%, and environmental approvals, while Oracle Advisory Group sees rising power demand from data centres supporting uranium demand. Paladin Energy operates in the Energy sector within the Oil, Gas and Consumable Fuels industry, and Thesis Tracker has captured 21 comments from 8 fund managers, including Alphinity, Maple-Brown Abbott, Acorn and Yarra. Founded in 1993 by John Borshoff and headquartered in Perth, Paladin operates Langer Heinrich in Namibia and is developing projects in Canada.
