On CAPS, 98% of the 893 members who have rated Denison believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include scoylesays and TravisRcroteau.
Last month, scoylesays tapped Denison as an atomic bargain opportunity:
[Denison] is the most undervalued of all uranium stocks. [O]versold uranium sector. [R]aised cash earlier this year at $3.55 [C]anadian. [T]rading at $1.10 currently represents a HUGE buying opportunity!
In fact, Denison currently sports a cheapish price-to-book ratio of 1.1. That represents a discount to other uranium miners like BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP ) (3.7), Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO ) (1.8), and Cameco (NYSE: CCJ ) (1.7).
CAPS member TravisRcroteau elaborates on the bull case:
With the … tsunamis and fear about nuclear technologies this stock has seen a fearful and unjustified devaluation. I expect this stock to move higher in the next year or two as the world continues to grow and power demands rise.
With this rise and the in-ability to [mass] produce electricity with "green" technology, nuclear energy is not going away anytime soon.
