Is Cameco Stock a Buy Now?
Shares of Cameco (NYSE: CCJ) have been on a rocket ride over the past three months or so, gaining a massive 50%-plus in a very short period of time. Is that a warning sign that Wall Street is baking in overly optimistic expectations or is the miner set to see a material improvement in its business over the coming years? There's a lot to unpack before you run out and buy Cameco stock right now. What does Cameco do? At its core, Cameco is a miner. Mining is a very capital-intensive business, given the cost of finding good places to build a mine, getting the approval to build a mine, building and operating a mine, and then, ultimately, returning the mine site back to its original state once the mine is closed. Complicating things a great deal is the fact that most miners produce commodity products, so their revenue and earnings are heavily impacted by often volatile commodity prices. Cameco is no different from other miners in this regard. But the uranium it mines does set it apart from the pack in some important ways. For starters, uranium is the fuel that powers nuclear power plants. So Cameco's fortunes are tightly tied to the nuclear power industry's ups and downs. Given the high-profile nature of nuclear plant disasters, that can be a very negative thing at times. And the bad times tend to linger until the fear over the risks of nuclear power disasters subsides. That said, nuclear power happens to produce energy without producing greenhouse gases. In other words, it is a source of clean energy. Nuclear power is also capable of running at full nameplate capacity on an ongoing basis, making it a great complement to intermittent power sources like solar and wind. Given the ongoing shift in the world toward cleaner power options, nuclear power is seeing something of a renaissance. (The fact that the last nuclear power plant meltdown happened in 2011, quite some time ago at this point, is also a big help.) Cameco tries hard to be reliable At the same time, Cameco can't avoid the fact that the price of the commodity it sells has a major impact on the way Wall Street views its business. With nuclear power seen as an increasingly important power source, uranium prices have benefited. And so, too, has Cameco's stock price. The tie between uranium prices and Cameco's stock price will likely never change, so a significant drop in uranium prices would lead to a big drop in Cameco's stock price, too. If you buy Cameco stock today you need to believe that the nuclear power industry is set to expand over the long term. And, thus, demand for uranium will remain strong over the long term and keep uranium prices high. If you don't go in with that belief you could be let down over the short term as commodity prices wax and wane, just like any other commodity, over shorter periods of time. CCJ data by YCharts However, there is something important about Cameco's business model that is worth highlighting. It doesn't sell uranium at the spot price, it signs long-term supply contracts. This helps to soften the blow from uranium price declines, though it can also limit the upside when uranium prices rise. And Cameco recently bought a non-controlling stake in Westinghouse, a service provider to the nuclear power industry. The revenues this business generates should be more consistent over time than uranium prices. In other words, Cameco is doing what it can to ensure its business is resilient to the typical ups and downs of a commodity business. Think carefully before buying Cameco The truth is, Cameco probably won't be a great fit for most investors. You can get indirect exposure to nuclear power via an investment in a reliable dividend-paying utility like Southern that will expose you to much less risk. However, if you think nuclear power is set to grow in the years ahead, Cameco is a solid "pick-and-shovel" play on the sector. Just go in knowing that volatility is the norm, with 50% price increases coming along with the risk of similar price drawdowns. Should you invest $1,000 in Cameco right now?

IWF Is a Great Choice for Most, But I Like VUG ETF Better
The iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: IWF) is one of the largest and most popular exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on companies growing their earnings at above-average rates. It enables investors to target growth stocks, which can enhance their investment returns. While I think the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF is great for most investors seeking to tap into the outsize return potential of growth stocks, I like the Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: VUG) better. Here's why. Nearly mirror images at the top The iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF and the Vanguard Growth ETF focus on holding companies growing their earnings faster than the market's average. For example, VUG's holdings have grown their earnings at a 27.5% annual rate over the past five years. While both ETFs track growth stocks, there's a subtle difference. The Vanguard Growth ETF tracks an index, the CRSP US Large Cap Growth Index, that holds only large-cap growth stocks, while the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF tracks an index, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, that consists of large- and mid-cap stocks. As a result, IWF has more holdings than VUG (392 to 166). However, because both funds have a market weighting, their top holdings are identical with very similar weightings: IWF VUG Microsoft (11.7%) Microsoft (11.3%) Nvidia (11.1%) Nvidia (10.3%) Apple (9.5%) Apple (10.1%) Amazon (6.6%) Amazon (6.3%) Meta Platforms (4.6%) Meta Platforms (4.4%) Broadcom (3.8%) Broadcom (4%) Alphabet Class A (3.4%) Tesla (3.3%) Tesla (3.1%) Alphabet Class A (3.3%) Alphabet Class C (2.8%) Alphabet Class C (2.6%) Eli Lilly (2.2%) Eli Lilly (2.2%) Data sources: BlackRock and The slight difference in allocation is primarily due to the dates of the last available holdings update for these funds. Given that their top 10 holdings -- which comprise nearly 60% of their assets -- areroughly mirror images, you could easily choose either fund for similar exposure to the top growth stocks. Two notable differences While the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF and Vanguard Growth ETF have very similar holdings, there are two notable differences. The first one is cost. IWF's ETF expense ratio is 0.19%, while VUG's is much lower at 0.04%. That's due to Vanguard's emphasis on keeping costs low for investors so that they can keep more of the returns generated by its funds. To put the cost difference into perspective, for every $10,000 invested, you'd pay the IWF fund manager $19 annually while only paying $4 per year for VUG. That higher cost will eat into IWF's returns over the long term. Speaking of returns, that's another area where VUG stands out compared to IWF: Data sources: BlackRock and Vanguard. NOTE: IWF fund inception is 5/22/00, while VUG's is 1/26/04. As that table shows, VUG has delivered much higher returns than IWF in every period other than the past five years. That's because larger-cap growth stocks have generally produced higher returns than mid-cap growth stocks in more recent years. That drag and its higher expense ratio have weighed on IWF's returns. Better returns and lower costs on the same strategy The iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF is a great ETF to buy to increase your portfolio's allocation to faster-growing companies. However, I think the Vanguard Growth ETF is a better option. It provides investors with exposure to most of the same holdings at a lower cost. Its strategy has enabled it to produce higher returns for its investors over the years. That's why I'd pick VUG over IWF to add more growth to your portfolio.
