Worley And 2 Other Australian Uranium Stocks To Watch

Energy supply routes are in focus again after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted global oil and gas shipping, reminding investors how fragile fuel flows can be. That spotlight on reliability puts Australian nuclear energy stocks on many watchlists as an alternative way to secure long term baseload power. This article walks through three stocks from the nuclear energy screener that could interest investors building an energy transition portfolio.

The three stocks covered below are just a small sample, and the full screen surfaced 23 more nuclear energy companies with equally compelling narratives that are not covered in this article.

To size up that wider field and identify your own highest conviction ideas, head straight into the Nuclear Energy Stocks screener

Worley (ASX:WOR)

Overview: Worley is a global engineering and project services group that supports energy, chemicals and resources projects, including nuclear power lifecycle work.

Operations: Worley generates about A$6.2b in revenue from the Americas, A$4.5b from EMEA and A$1.3b from APAC, with smaller unallocated items.

Market Cap: A$4.7b

Worley gives you exposure to nuclear energy through its engineering and lifecycle services for reactors and fuel-cycle facilities, while still being anchored in a broad mix of energy and resources work worldwide.

"Growing activity in energy transition materials, lithium and fertilizers, particularly across Latin America and the Middle East, supports Worley’s resources segment workload."

Future returns for Worley could hinge on how one quiet shift in higher value project mix ultimately feeds through to margins and cash generation.

That margin question is exactly what the full narrative for Worley unpacks, including how Worley’s project mix could be quietly reshaping its long term earnings profile.

Boss Energy (ASX:BOE)

Overview: Boss Energy is a uranium producer that owns and operates the Honeymoon uranium project in South Australia, supplying feed into the nuclear fuel cycle.

Operations: Boss Energy generates A$151 million in revenue from its Australian Uranium Operations segment, reflecting its Honeymoon production activity.

Market Cap: A$644 million

Boss Energy provides direct exposure to the nuclear energy theme through Honeymoon, a producing uranium asset that turns resource geology into fuel-cycle material for reactors worldwide.

"Record quarterly Honeymoon output of 456,000 pounds of uranium drummed, alongside guidance for 1.6 million pounds in FY26 production, describes a larger volume base that management expects to support higher revenue over time if this operational profile is sustained or improved."

What happens to Boss Energy’s earnings power will depend on how one cost line moves relative to a uranium-sensitive price backdrop.

If that cost curve is what you are watching, read the full narrative for Boss Energy to see how Boss Energy’s margin profile could decouple from the uranium price cycle.

Paladin Energy (ASX:PDN)

Overview: Paladin Energy is a uranium miner focused on supplying nuclear reactor fuel from its Langer Heinrich operation in Namibia and Canadian exploration assets.

Operations: Paladin Energy records US$304 million in revenue from Namibia, with sales flowing primarily to customers in Asia, North America and Europe.

Market Cap: A$4.3b

Paladin Energy matters in this nuclear energy screener because its uranium output and growth projects speak directly to long term reactor fuel security.

"Paladin already has 22.3 million pounds contracted out to 2030 across 12 offtake agreements, with recent sales realised at US$69.90/lb."

What that means for investors ultimately hinges on how one quiet shift in contract and project timing shapes the cash flow runway.

That contract timing question is exactly what the full narrative for Paladin Energy unpacks, revealing how Paladin Energy’s uranium profile could accelerate or stall as new offtakes are compared with future projects.
