Centrus Energy Corp. shares hit a 52-week low of $141.61, continuing a steep slide that has erased roughly two-fifths of the stock’s value over the past year. The stock dropped 21% over the past week alone.
The company, which trades under the ticker LEU, maintains a market capitalization of $2.92 billion. It recently announced an underwritten public offering of Class A common stock, pre-funded warrants, and common warrants. Its Compensation, Nominating & Governance Committee also approved performance-based restricted stock units for executives tied to milestones at its production facility in Piketon, Ohio.
Analyst sentiment remains mixed. Jefferies initiated coverage with a Hold rating and a price target of $169. Stifel kept its Buy rating but lowered its price target to $216 from $246, citing solid second-quarter 2026 results and significant backlog growth at the company. UBS maintained a Neutral rating and revised its price target upward to $185 from $170, updating adjusted EBITDA estimates to reflect higher gross margins.
An InvestingPro analysis suggested the stock was overvalued relative to its calculated fair value, though no specific fair-value figure was disclosed in the report.
