NYSE:LEU 25 September 2025 - 16 March 2026

Centrus Energy Corp. stock moved sharply higher on December 19, 2025 after the company announced a milestone that goes well beyond a typical corporate update: it has begun domestic centrifuge manufacturing to support commercial low-enriched uranium enrichment at its Piketon, Ohio site—an early, concrete step in a multi-year plan to rebuild U.S.-owned enrichment capacity. Centrus Energy+1 As of 15:34 UTC on December 19, LEU stock traded around $255, up roughly 11% on the session. The move underscores how tightly Centrus is tied to one of the market’s hottest energy narratives: the scramble to secure a non-Russian nuclear fuel supply chain.
