Abstract

Centrus Energy Corp. will report fiscal results on February 10, 2026, Post Market; this preview compiles last quarter’s actuals, updates to segment trends, and consensus forecasts to frame this quarter’s likely revenue, margin, and EPS trajectory.

Market Forecast

The market projects Centrus Energy Corp.’s current-quarter revenue at 146.34 million, implying 37.20% year-over-year growth; consensus anticipates EBIT of 26.06 million with EPS of 1.41, and models a modest gross margin recovery with a stable net margin and higher adjusted EPS on a year-over-year basis. The company’s mainline low-enriched uranium business is expected to anchor sequential recovery as order timing normalizes and contract deliveries step up, while Technical Solutions provides a steadier, lower-volatility contribution. The most promising segment remains Low-Enriched Uranium with an expected revenue contribution around the mid–nine figures and a year-over-year increase consistent with the overall forecasted revenue growth of 37.20%.

Last Quarter Review

Last quarter, Centrus Energy Corp. reported revenue of 74.90 million, a gross margin of -5.74%, net profit attributable to shareholders of 3.90 million, a net margin of 5.21%, and adjusted EPS of 0.19, with year-over-year growth of 163.33%. A notable development was a sharp quarter-on-quarter contraction in parent net profit of 86.51%, reflecting the swing factors in delivery timing and segment mix, which also weighed on gross margin. Main business highlights: Low-Enriched Uranium generated 51.10 million and Technical Solutions produced 30.10 million, with a segment offset of -6.30 million due to eliminations.

Current Quarter Outlook (with major analytical insights)

Mainline Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU)

The LEU segment should be the primary driver of this quarter’s topline and EBIT inflection. Forecast revenue acceleration to 146.34 million for the company aligns with an uptick in LEU delivery volumes and improved pricing mix embedded in existing contracts. Unit economics appear poised to rebound from last quarter’s negative gross margin, as manufacturing absorption improves and fixed costs are spread across higher shipments. The combination of delivery catch-up and a favorable contract schedule supports the forecasted step-up in EBIT to 26.06 million and EPS to 1.41, though the magnitude will still depend on inventory drawdowns versus fresh production and any swing from separative work unit price variability.

Technical Solutions

Technical Solutions provides recurring service and development revenues that can cushion volatility from fuel deliveries. While not called out explicitly in consensus, a stable to slightly improving contribution should aid the modeled net margin stabilization, especially if higher-margin consulting and engineering scopes outpace lower-margin pass-through work. The segment’s pipeline is sensitive to program milestones and government-related work cadence, so even a flat quarter could be incrementally supportive to consolidated gross margin relative to last quarter’s -5.74%.

Key Stock Price Swing Factors This Quarter

Margin normalization is the core narrative investors will watch, especially the degree of gross margin recovery from last quarter’s negative level toward a healthier mid-single to low-double-digit range implied by the EPS and EBIT forecasts. Cash conversion and working-capital dynamics tied to delivery timing may also influence sentiment, as revenue recognition steps up. Any updates to shipment schedules, contract wins, or visibility for subsequent quarter deliveries could recalibrate expectations for full-year EPS trajectory, given the company’s episodic revenue pattern.

Analyst Opinions

Across recent previews and commentary, the majority view skews constructive, with bullish-to-bearish sentiment approximating 3:2, citing the delivery cadence rebound underpinning the 37.20% revenue growth forecast and an anticipated recovery in profitability metrics from the prior quarter’s trough. Supportive opinions highlight the alignment of order timing with higher scheduled shipments, which should lift operating leverage and enable a rebound in adjusted EPS to 1.41. The cautious minority points to prior-quarter volatility and the possibility of margin noise from mix and inventory accounting. The prevailing stance remains positive, expecting sequential improvement in revenue and EBIT with a clearer glide path for margins into the next quarter as deliveries normalize.
