Is NexGen Energy poised to be bigger than Cameco?

Nexgen Energy (NXE) is a recent uranium company that has come into my radar.  I posted numerous times about another company called Energy Fuels Inc (UUUU) but Nexgen Energy appears to be in a better fundamental standpoint.  First, it has discovered multiple uranium deposits and the company continues to find more even the past week.  Second, the uranium deposits are of higher quality than the current mines currently out there.  Third, these deposits are close to the same amounts that Cameco (CCJ) and are poised to overtake the amount of uranium in comparison.

Nexgen Energy is a $750 million cap company while Cameco is a $3.7 billion cap company.  If it were to have equal uranium deposits, there is plenty of growth for Nextgen Energy to grow in the future.  It also recently received $110 million in funding from CEF Holdings.  This company is part of a larger conglomerate of businesses controlled by Li Ka-Shing who also is known as the “asian Warren Buffett”.  He invests in many asian countries and knows the market very well.

China is a energy hungry country that is in process of constructing and completing multiple nuclear plants in the next decade.  Li Ka-Shing knows the market going forward and that uranium will be a necessary commodity for China to fuel their nuclear power plants.  It makes sense that he would accumulate shares in this smaller company that would give him a bigger stake in ownership.  I do believe their is a chance of being acquired in the future but the fundamentals show that Nexgen Energy will have a bullish future ahead as well.

Disclosure: I did recently purchase NXE by selling some of my holdings in UUUU.

Is Akamai in for a dead cat bounce?

Akamai Technologies (AKAM) is the largest cloud technology company that helps businesses deliver cloud delivery content through their high-availability servers across the world.  A few days ago, their stock dropped over 13% when their earnings report was released.  The company did hit their numbers but their guidance was lower than analysts expects.  The stock experienced a major drop in the morning after earnings but the company stock price has been steadily moving up since the release.

One major proponent of the stock is the CEO who has multiple million dollar purchases of the stock.  He believes that the price is too low and started these purchase only this year.

Technically, major stock price drops like this usually follow with a “dead cat bounce” which means this stock will continue with the down trend.  If this happens, expect to get the stock as a cheaper price in the following week.  I am not sure if this is a good long-term stock as Amazon and Facebook have been building out their own hardware to replace Akamai’s services.  However, there are many other businesses that use Akamai including Netflix which will definitely help increase their revenues going forward.

Dividend Stock with over 10% Interest

Washington Prime Group (WPG) was once a dividend darling at 12% dividend.  It still sports a high dividend but that is expected to become lower as the price of the stock continues to appreciate.  This stock is an REIT that was hit hard when Macy’s couldn’t hit quarterly numbers including the numerous other mall stores that missed target as well.  These bad earning reports included store closures that affected REITs.  In May, Washington Prime Group hit an stock low below $7.50 which would have given you a nice 13% dividend.

Since May, this stock has had a steady appreciation with it recently going over $9.  Washington Prime Group is a unique REIT that caters to smaller retail plazas that are mostly in outdoor settings.  The Fairholme Fund run by billionaire Bruce Berkowitz invested millions in WPG recently.

For someone that has an IRA, 401k, and another tax-deferred stock account, this stock makes for a nice play.  As much as Amazon has taken so much market share in the retail space, Amazon (AMZN) has also proven that they need to be in brick-and-mortar when they announced that they are purchasing Whole Foods Market (WFM) for $13 billion.

There are other REITS in the similar mall industry that should continue to grow as the fallout disappears and investors see the true value of these mall REITs.  This stock should be a part of an investors’ portfolio for long-term growth in dividend and appreciation.

I plan to purchase shares in any dips in price but I do not own any at this time.

Short-Term Bottom on Omega Healthcare

With almost a 8% dividend (7.8% at the time of this writing), Omega Healthcare (OHI) makes a nice stock to own in your retirement portfolio.  It recently hit a short-term bottom at $32 and has been slowly moving back up.  There is plenty of noise about buyers trying to get in at $28 which would be a great level but highly unlikely to get to that point.  Yellen has mentioned that she plans to raise rates in September which should be a tiny raise and should not affect the pricing of this stock.  Remember, the baby boomer generate is continuing to retire and move into senior housing which will benefit this stock.
