Cameco is the more attractive holding today, while USA Rare Earth may offer higher five-year returns as a US government-backed rare earth platform. Cameco already produces, has cash flow and long-term contracts, low bankruptcy risk, though a 5-10x is unlikely. USAR secured $1.6bn of Commerce Department support, won DOE separation funding, plans a $1.2bn magnet plant and gains production assets via Serra Verde. It has no production or cash flow yet; 2028-29 commercialization is the real test. x.com x.comÂ
