Truist cuts Cameco target to $125, still sees 58% upside after 38% slide

Cameco shares have fallen 38% in six months, but Truist still rates the stock a Buy. On October 22, analyst Christopher Souther cut his price target to $125 from $130. That implies 58% upside from the current price of about $79. Uranium prices have held up, but profits have not followed. Cameco's uranium earnings fell nearly 40% in the second quarter even as its realised price rose 18%, because its cost per pound climbed 36%. Analysts have cut their 2026 earnings estimate to $1.44 a share from $1.67 over 90 days. At $125, the stock would trade at about 80x forward earnings, against 52x today. Reaching the target needs a 2027 earnings jump or a Westinghouse listing. The third-quarter report in early November is the next test.

Truist Q3 profit halves to $684M as revenue falls 16% amid balance sheet reset

Truist Financial reported a sharp drop in third-quarter profit as it worked through a balance sheet clean-up. Its shares rose 1.1% to about $47 on Friday. Revenue fell about 15.8% to $4,000 million from $4,751 million a year earlier. Net income, excluding extra items, fell about 49.3% to $684 million from $1,348 million. Earnings per share were $0.57, down from $1.05. Adjusted earnings per share were $1.16, with adjusted return on tangible common equity at 14.6%. Net interest margin held steady at 3.00%. Wealth management had its best quarter and deposits grew. Noninterest expense reached $3.1 billion, and net charge-offs stood at 77 basis points. The exits from RAC auto and LightStream cut risk, but commercial real estate exposure remains a concern.

Truist consumer banking chief exits in shakeup as bank sells $7.7B of LightStream loans

Truist consumer and small business banking chief Dontá Wilson is leaving the bank, six weeks into Mike Lyons' tenure as chief executive officer. Wilson was the last executive remaining from the 2019 SunTrust-BB&T merger that created Truist. Shimna Sameer, hired in July to lead wealth management, will take over consumer banking. Jeff Warner, a 25-year PNC veteran, joins as chief small business banking officer, and D. Steve Boland, a former Bank of America executive, becomes vice chair. All three report to Lyons. Truist also agreed to sell $7.7 billion of LightStream loans to Carlyle, expected to generate $7.2 billion in net proceeds. The deal should close in the fourth quarter and exits a non-core business, the bank said.
