Boss Energy saw its shares rise over 6% after announcing reduced cost guidance and confirming its 2026 financial year (FY) production target of 1.6 million pounds at its Honeymoon uranium operation. Further growth is expected from the Brooks Down North and Gould's Dam projects. Despite meeting market expectations, legacy contracts may affect medium-term realised prices.
Uranium plays a critical role in supporting clean energy needs, driven by data centre and artificial intelligence (AI) demands. Concerns linger over Boss Energy's main asset performance, with Boss Energy and Paladin Energy facing significant short positions of 16% and 12%, respectively. Some analysts prefer Paladin Energy due to its perceived lower operational risks.
While past operational issues had halved Boss Energy's share price, it has since rebounded to $1.93. Analysts see signs of stability with two quarters of controlled costs and aligned production guidance.
