Cameco Corporation
Here’s whether Cameco Corporation (CCJ) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); strong 1-year return of +43.5%. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); 50-day MA is falling (-2.24% over 10 days); RSI 74 — overbought, elevated pullback risk. Currently 24.2% off its 52-week high. Score: -2/7.
CCJ is trading below its 200-day MA ($104.83) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 73.9, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of +43.5% compares to +20.5% for SPY (beat the market by 23.0%). The current 24.2% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
