NexGen Energy (NXE) is a Canada-based company with a focus on acquisition, exploration, and development of Canadian uranium projects. The company owns a portfolio of prospective uranium exploration assets in Athabasca Basin, which are some of the largest in the world. The stock has dropped 80% from its 2017 high to $0.50 / share at the March 2020 low. However, since then it has rallied 10x higher. It is speculative as it’s not yet producing uranium, but its potential and also the bullish uranium market prove to be supportive of the stock.

Supply on the other hand continues to decline starting from 2016 due to the low Uranium price. It has created a demand-supply imbalance. The Covid-19 further exacerbates the deficit and between demand and supply.
