Energy Fuels Surges 3.25% on $960M Volume Spike Ranks 137th in Market Activity

Energy Fuels (UUUU) surged 3.25% on October 10, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.96 billion—marking a 33.11% increase from the previous day—ranking 137th in market activity. The stock’s strong performance was attributed to renewed investor focus on energy infrastructure resilience amid geopolitical tensions in key resource-producing regions. Analysts noted that the rise aligned with broader sectoral trends, including regulatory tailwinds for clean energy transitions and infrastructure funding announcements in major markets.

Recent industry developments highlighted a shift in capital allocation toward hybrid energy solutions, blending traditional and renewable assets. A major regulatory update on cross-border energy project approvals in North America also drew attention, with Energy Fuels positioned to benefit from its diversified portfolio spanning uranium and rare earth elements. Market participants emphasized that the stock’s momentum reflected both macroeconomic factors and company-specific catalysts, including upcoming production guidance for 2026.

To run this back-test rigorously, I need to pin down a few implementation details that aren’t fully specified yet. Could you please confirm (or adjust) the following? 1. Universe: Do we screen all U.S.-listed common stocks (ex-ETFs/OTC) or a smaller universe such as the current S&P 1500 constituents? 2. Ranking moment & execution price: I plan to rank stocks by yesterday’s total dollar volume (Close × Volume) using end-of-day data. The portfolio will be opened at the next day’s open and liquidated at the same day’s close (≈ 1-day holding period). 3. Transaction assumptions: Zero commission & slippage (default) unless you specify otherwise. If the above fits your intent, just reply “yes” (or make changes) and I’ll run the back-test.
