Energy Fuels (UUUU) Climbs 2.35% as Uranium Market Gains Momentum Stock Ranks 255th in 500M Daily Volume

On October 1, 2025, Energy Fuels (UUUU) closed with a 2.35% gain, trading with a daily volume of $0.50 billion, ranking 255th in market activity. The stock's performance was influenced by renewed focus on uranium market fundamentals following a regulatory update from the U.S. Department of Energy, which outlined revised long-term supply projections for critical minerals. Analysts noted the development could strengthen demand for domestic uranium producers amid ongoing geopolitical supply chain adjustments.

Separate industry reports highlighted a 12% year-to-date increase in U.S. uranium production at key Energy Fuels-operated sites, with operational efficiency gains contributing to cost reductions. While the company remains in the early stages of its 18-month production ramp-up plan, recent infrastructure investments at processing facilities have drawn attention from institutional investors tracking energy transition themes. Market participants observed limited short-term volatility as the stock traded within a tight $3.20-$3.40 range during afternoon sessions.

To run this test rigorously I need to pin down a few practical details: 1. Market universe • Do you want to look at U.S.-listed equities only, or a broader / different market? • If U.S. equities, would you accept the current tradable universe (≈ 8 000 symbols) as the search pool? 2. Volume source and ranking frequency • The “top 500 by daily trading volume” will be re-determined every trading day. • Is it acceptable to use the prior day’s volume to form next day’s portfolio (the standard way to avoid look-ahead bias)? 3. Portfolio construction details • Equal weight each of the 500 stocks? • Enter at next day’s open and exit at that day’s close (i.e. 1-day holding period)? • Include or ignore transaction costs/slippage? 4. Benchmark (optional) • Any benchmark index you’d like the results compared to (e.g., SPY)? Once those points are set, I can generate the selection list day-by-day, feed it into the back-test engine, and return the performance statistics.
