Methodology: Range is calculated using 30-day realized volatility via geometric Brownian motion (log-normal model). 68% band = ±1σ, 95% band = ±2σ. This is a statistical model, not a prediction. Past volatility does not guarantee future results. Not financial advice.

Bull case

Cameco's long-term outlook is promising, driven by rising global demand for nuclear energy. The company’s strategic acquisitions position it well for future growth.

Bear case

The temporary halt at Cigar Lake raises concerns about production forecasts. If delays continue, it could lead to more volatility in Cameco's stock price.
