Worries spurred by Chinese AI chatbot DeepSeek sink Cameco, TransAlta shares by double-digits

Cameco (CCO.TO)(CCJ) shares dropped as much as 14 per cent on Monday amid a wider sell-off linked to the Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot DeepSeek.

Canadian uranium-producing peers (DML.TO) and NexGen Energy (NXE.TO) also fell by double-digits, as investors questioned forecasts of surging energy demand from data centres.

DeepSeek was reportedly developed for a fraction of the cost of its Western rivals, raising questions about the future of America's AI dominance, and the scale of future investment from Silicon Valley tech giants.

The International Energy Agency has predicted data centres could draw as much electricity as Japan by 2026, more than double their demand today. Cameco is among the Canadian companies seen to benefit from an AI-driven electricity boom.

Shares of Canadian utility TransAlta Corporation (TA.TO) tumbled as much as 22 per cent in Monday's trading session. The Calgary-based company has said it is in talks with “multiple hyperscalers” to develop data centres in Alberta.

On Monday, Cameco said its partner in Kazakhstan has indicated production has restarted at a jointly operated mine shut down on New Year’s Day.

The uranium producer owns a 40 per cent stake in Joint Venture Inkai (JV Inkai), located in Kazakhstan's southern Turkestan region. Kazakhstan’s national atomic company, Kazatomprom, owns 60 per cent.

“Cameco and Kazatomprom are now working with JV Inkai to determine the impact of the production suspension on the operation’s 2025 production plans,” Cameco stated in a news release on Monday.

On Jan. 2, Cameco officials said the company was “disappointed and surprised” by a production halt on New Year’s Day. The company says the mine was shut down after Kazatomprom did not receive an extension by Kazakhstan's energy ministry to file project documents due by the end of 2024. Toronto-listed Cameco shares fell 1.6 per cent that day.

Kazatomprom says it's the world's largest producer of uranium, with attributable production representing about 20 per cent of global primary production in 2023. In an update on Monday, the company said it has resolved the approval issue, and has resumed mining operations at block No. 1 of the Inkai deposit.

"Kazatomprom remains fully committed to fulfilling contractual obligations towards all existing customers, and has sufficient level of inventories to comfortably manage its deliveries throughout 2025," the company said.

Cameco shares closed 15.04 per cent lower on Monday at $68.26. TransAlta's stock lost 20.57 per cent to finish at $15.37.

Jack Whitehall teases 'really big night' at the BRITs

Jack Whitehall is planning "a really big night" for his BRITs return. The 36-year-old comedian is set to host the awards show for the fifth time in his career on March 1, and Jack is thrilled that he has another chance to host the annual event. Speaking to The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column, Jack explained: "The last show I did was in 2021, which had a fair few restrictions due to COVID. "So it always felt like, due to circumstances beyond my control, I’d maybe gone out with a little bit of a whimper. "I think the Brits 2025 is going to make up for that and be a really big night. "When I first started out I was just like ‘Jack, don’t mess this up. This is such a big opportunity’. You don’t want to say the wrong thing and insult someone and then get taken off air. Then I got to a point where I was like, ‘It’s probably best now to not outstay my welcome’. And now, here I am, back again." Jack previously admitted that he can't wait to return to the role of host, describing the BRITs as his "favourite night of the year". The stand-up comedy star said: "They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and that is absolutely the case with the BRIT Awards. It is my favourite night of the year." Jack hasn't been available to host the show in recent years due to his jam-packed work schedule. But he's now available and he's thrilled to be hosting the event once again. An insider previously told The Sun newspaper: "Jack is such a brilliant BRITs host and isn’t afraid to take the p*** out of some of the world’s biggest stars. "He has such a hectic diary that he’s been unable to take part for the past few years. But he was available this time and said yes immediately. It is one of his favourite gigs as he can have some real fun with the celebs."
