Centrus Energy Corp. (LEU) experienced a significant pre-market plunge of 8.96% following the release of its fourth-quarter financial results, which fell short of analyst expectations on both earnings and revenue.
The sharp decline was triggered by the company reporting quarterly earnings of $0.79 per share, missing consensus estimates ranging from $1.28 to $1.63. This represents a substantial 75.31% decrease compared to earnings of $3.20 per share from the same period last year. Additionally, quarterly revenue of $146.2 million narrowly missed analyst forecasts and declined 3.56% year-over-year.
Further pressuring the stock, Centrus provided full-year 2026 revenue guidance in the range of $425 million to $475 million, which is below analyst estimates of approximately $479.5 million to $482.7 million, indicating potential challenges ahead despite the company's reported $3.8 billion backlog extending to 2040.
