Centrus Energy’s 1.01 Billion Volume Surges to 127th Rank as Shares Dip Amid Regulatory Scrutiny and Partnership Uncertainty

On October 10, 2025, Centrus Energy (LEU) recorded a trading volume of $1.01 billion, a 145.81% increase from the previous day, ranking 127th among all stocks listed that day. The stock closed down 1.99%.

Recent developments highlight regulatory scrutiny as the U.S. Department of Energy announced a formal review of Centrus’s uranium enrichment contracts. The inquiry focuses on compliance with federal procurement standards and potential overpayments to the company. Analysts suggest the investigation could delay future contract renewals and impact revenue visibility for fiscal 2026.

Separately, Centrus disclosed a partnership with a European nuclear technology firm to explore advanced enrichment methods. While the collaboration aims to reduce operational costs, the lack of immediate financial terms or timeline details has limited market enthusiasm. Investors remain cautious, with many awaiting clarity on the project’s feasibility and capital requirements.

Back-test parameters require confirmation on universe selection (e.g., S&P 500 vs. broader U.S. stocks), weighting schemes (equal-weight vs. market-cap), trade timing (close-to-close vs. open-to-open execution), and transaction cost assumptions (e.g., 2 basis points per trade). Once finalized, the analysis will span from January 3, 2022, to October 10, 2025.
