Nuclear/Uranium: Westinghouse Is Targeting $50bn. Here's What We'd Do Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bloomberg reported last week that Westinghouse is targeting a valuation of more than USD 50bn in its coming US IPO, with a public filing as soon as October. We flag it because it validates the analysis we published on 3 August and puts a number on it that sits within the range we set out.When we published our valuation of Westinghouse, we set out a base case fair value of more than USD 40bn (precisely USD 43bn), a bull case of USD 85bn, and a conservative case of USD 26bn.

We also revisit a piece of the Kazakh picture that is not new but that we think the market has ove
EU Natural Gas: A Rude Awakening (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back after a break, and plenty has moved in our favour while we were out. On uranium, spot has reached $90/lb as post-summer seasonality turned, helped by news of a delay to Kazatomprom’s sulphuric acid plant that strengthens the case for lower production next year.
