October 14, 2008 10:27 AM EDT

TD Newcrest Securities upgrades Cameco Corp. (NYSE: CCJ) from Hold to Buy, but lowers price target from CDN$38 to CDN$30.

NewCrest analyst says, "We have lowered our target price for Cameco to C$30.00 from C$38.00 based on our reduced uranium price forecasts for the next several years. In addition we have lowered our target multiples, although we continue to use higher multiples for Cameco than other mining companies in our coverage universe given its commanding global position in the uranium market. We have upgraded our recommendation to BUY from Hold as we expect that Cameco should be a safe haven during a period of extreme turmoil given its legacy uranium sales contracts and the relatively inelastic demand for uranium."

Cameco Corporation (Cameco) is a Canada-based company. The Company operates in four segments: uranium, fuel services, nuclear electricity generation and gold.
