Approach 1: Uranium Energy Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

A Discounted Cash Flow model takes estimates of a company’s future cash flows and then discounts them back to today’s dollars to arrive at an implied value per share.

For Uranium Energy, the latest twelve month free cash flow is a loss of $90.39 million. Analysts have specific projections out to 2028, including free cash flow of $95.5 million in 2028. Beyond that, Simply Wall St extends the forecast using its two stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach, with ten year projections that range from a loss of $35 million in 2026 to $345.30 million in 2035.

When all those projected cash flows are discounted back to today, the model points to an estimated intrinsic value of $12.92 per share. Based on the stated DCF discount of 23.1% overvaluation, the model indicates that Uranium Energy’s current price reflects more optimistic cash flow outcomes than these projections.

Result: OVERVALUED

Approach 2: Uranium Energy Price vs Book

For companies where earnings are limited or volatile, price-based metrics that anchor to the balance sheet, like the P/B ratio, can be a useful way to think about value. You are comparing what the market is paying today with the accounting value of net assets per share.

In general, higher growth expectations and lower perceived risk tend to support a higher “normal” or “fair” multiple. Slower growth and higher risk usually line up with a lower one. That context matters when you look at Uranium Energy’s current P/B of 5.86x against the Oil and Gas industry average of 1.51x and a peer group average of 2.42x.

Simply Wall St also uses a “Fair Ratio” for P/B, which is the multiple it would expect for the company after considering factors like earnings growth, profit margins, industry, market cap and risk profile. This approach can be more tailored than a simple comparison with peers or industry averages, because it adjusts for the company’s own characteristics rather than assuming all operators should trade at the same level. As the Fair Ratio is not available here, it is not possible to judge from this metric whether Uranium Energy is overvalued, undervalued, or about right.

Result: ABOUT RIGHT
