Uranium and mining stocks lead TSX gains amid sector momentum

Uranium and mining stocks led gains on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Tuesday, with Energy Fuels Inc, Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd. and Denison Mines Corp each rising more than 8%.

Energy Fuels surged nearly 9%, extending gains driven by momentum in the uranium sector. The company, though not yet profitable, forecasts 86.6% revenue growth. Southern Cross Gold advanced 8.5%, marking a 109.1% increase over the past year despite negative earnings and a share price above its 52-week high. Denison Mines rose 8%, supported by a projected triple-digit revenue increase for the next year.

Scotiabank also featured among the top gainers, climbing nearly 7% after reporting quarterly earnings that exceeded analyst expectations. The bank’s third-quarter EPS and revenue both topped estimates, with strength in wealth management and capital markets contributing to a 4.9% dividend yield and robust profit growth.

Amerigo Resources Ltd. posted a 6.3% gain, reflecting a 293.4% one-year return. The broader market sentiment was buoyed by uranium sector activity, including NexGen Energy Ltd.’s recent rise following reports of BHP discussions and progress at the Rook I project. IsoEnergy Ltd. had its coverage resumed at a "Buy" rating with a C$19 price target.

The gains underscore investor appetite for junior resource stocks and uranium plays amid elevated energy transition narratives.
