Centrus Stock Dips as 'Buy-the-Dip' Threshold Nears

Investors are weighing Centrus’s Palantir rollout that it says could save nearly $300 million.

Overview

  • Centrus Energy shares fell Tuesday to $188.39, down 4.2% on the day and more than 23% for 2026, according to Yahoo Finance.
  • The pullback has the stock near a 320-day moving-average level that Schaeffer’s research flags as a historically bullish “buy the dip” signal seen only three times in a decade with gains one week and one month later in each case.
  • Short interest stands at 4.39 million shares, or 24.2% of the float, while options prices sit in the 22nd percentile of the past year even as realized volatility scores a 96 out of 100 on Schaeffer’s scale.
  • Centrus disclosed March 12 it is using Palantir’s Foundry and AI tools across project controls, engineering, manufacturing execution, supply chain management, and regulatory compliance for its Piketon, Ohio enrichment buildout.
  • Early work since late January identified nearly $300 million in potential savings and faster manufacturing lead times, complementing an EPC tie-up with Fluor as Centrus pushes a multi-billion-dollar expansion of U.S. uranium enrichment capacity.
