What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of URNJ's holdings, performance and risks.
Energy is the anchor of Sprott Junior Uranium Miners ETF (URNJ), accounting for 93.3% of the fund, while Basic Materials makes up 6.7%. With nearly all holdings in one sector, URNJ's price follows that sector closely. The fund is a Natural Resources offering from Sprott and began trading on February 1, 2023.
Costs run at 0.80% a year, which works out to $80.00 on a $10,000 holding. The fund's net assets come to $310.3M, its distribution yield is 8.23%, and portfolio turnover is 38%.
The 30-day standard deviation of URNJ's daily returns is 2.95%. Concentration matters here: Energy makes up 93.3% of the fund, so a setback in that sector would weigh on the whole. The downtrend is itself a risk for as long as the price stays under both moving averages. The price is 56.65% below its 52-week high of $40.81.

CleaRank AI analysis of URNJ
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
URNJ is priced at $17.69 and sits beneath both of its principal moving averages. The price is 23.01% below the 50-day average of $22.98 and 35.54% below the 200-day average of $27.44. Within its 52-week range the price is at 4%, which leaves it 6.31% above the 52-week low of $16.64. The 50-day average runs 16.27% below the 200-day, a gap that backs up the weakness instead of undercutting it.
On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 30.1, in the bearish zone, above the oversold line, with the MACD line negative. Every period on the chart shows a loss, with the price down 17.72% over the past three months, 46.64% over the past six months and 44.60% over the past year.
- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 20-day EMA, which sits at $19.95 above the price, and the 52-week low of $16.64, which sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI reads 30.1, in the bearish zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- Costs compound: at 0.80% a year, URNJ charges $80.00 on every $10,000 invested.
URNJ stays in a downtrend for as long as it trades below both its 50-day average, at $22.98, and its 200-day average, at $27.44. A close back above the 50-day would be the first sign of a repair. Overhead, the 20-day EMA at $19.95 is the first hurdle.
URNJ's next support sits at the 52-week low of $16.64. With the RSI in the bearish zone, momentum is not positioned for a fast rebound.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in URNJ, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in URNJ today could grow to about $13,035 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $98,894 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $1,718. The simulation models price only; at today's 8.23% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
URNJ 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $19.67 for URNJ by 2030 in the base case, from $17.69 today (1.1x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $5.46. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on URNJ's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $9.57 | $18.17 | $34.48 | |
