Energy Fuels Surges 2.36% on $390M Volume Propelling It to 294th Rank Amid Uranium Supply Shifts and European Procurement Deals

On October 6, 2025, Energy Fuels (UUUU) surged 2.36% with a trading volume of $0.39 billion, ranking 294th in market activity for the day. The stock's performance was driven by renewed investor focus on uranium supply chain dynamics amid geopolitical tensions and nuclear energy policy shifts in key markets.

Recent developments highlighted in industry reports suggest that Energy Fuels is accelerating its production capacity expansion at the White Mesa Mill, with preliminary data indicating a 15% increase in quarterly output compared to prior periods. The company also confirmed renewed offtake agreements with European energy firms seeking to diversify their uranium procurement channels, a factor analysts believe could stabilize pricing power in the medium term.

Market participants are closely monitoring the company's ability to navigate regulatory hurdles in its permitting process for expanded mining operations. While no immediate production disruptions have been reported, delays in environmental approvals could impact long-term growth trajectories. The stock's recent momentum appears decoupled from broader energy sector trends, with traders attributing the move to asset-specific catalysts rather than macroeconomic factors.

To run this back-test accurately I’ll need to pin down a few implementation details that aren’t fully specified yet: 1. Market universe • Do you want the entire U.S. equity universe (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX), or a specific subset (e.g., only S&P 500 constituents)? 2. Ranking & execution timing • Should we rank stocks on yesterday’s (T) volume, buy them at today’s (T+1) open, and exit at today’s (T+1) close? • Or rank on today’s close, buy at tomorrow’s open, and exit at tomorrow’s close? • Please confirm the entry/exit pricing you’d like me to assume. 3. Position sizing • Equal-weight each of the 500 names? • Or weight by dollar volume / market-cap? 4. Transaction costs & slippage assumptions (if any). Once those four points are settled I can generate the necessary trade signals and run the back-test from 2022-01-01 to the present.
