I initiate coverage on Sprott Junior Uranium Miners ETF (URNJ) with a buy, citing strong structural tailwinds for uranium, uranium miners, and favorable technicals. URNJ offers high-beta exposure to a global basket of junior uranium miners, benefiting from rising uranium prices and increased exploration incentives. The ETF provides diversification benefits, potential upside from USD weakness, and is currently trading near technical support while still trading above its 200DMA.

Oil shock, AI power demand and energy security fears are driving a nuclear comeback. ETFs like NLR and NUKZ stand to benefit.

Sprott Junior Uranium Miners ETF is rated a Buy, with technical and fundamental factors aligned for further upside. Rising nuclear power demand, AI infrastructure, and military spending are driving uranium prices and supporting junior miners' outperformance. URNJ outperformed Cameco stock from November 2025 to January 2026, rallying 83% versus CCJ's 74%.

Someone asked me the other day, “What are the hot themes for the new year?”  To start the year, we have seen some pretty impressive outsized performance from several key investment themes.

With favorable regulations encouraging a boom in domestic nuclear power, several prominent uranium miners have experienced skyrocketing shares in the last year. Canadian outfit Cameco Corp. NYSE: CCJ, among the largest producers of uranium in the world, has risen by 161% in the last year, for instance.
