Cameco Corporation reported a $43 million profit for the third quarter ending September 30, 2026. This result marks an improvement from a break-even performance during the same period in 2025.

Why it matters

The quarterly performance reflects the balancing act of higher realized prices against lower sales volumes and increased unit costs. Overall results trailed 2025 figures due to lower equity earnings from Westinghouse.

Cameco reported $619 million in quarterly revenue, a marginal increase over the $615 million recorded in the same period last year. Conversely, the company noted an adjusted loss of $2 million, down from an adjusted profit of $32 million in 2025.
