Insider Sheds Over 55,000 Shares of North American Uranium Stock

Scott Melbye, Executive Vice President of Uranium Energy Corp. (UEC), sold 55,656 shares worth $534,298 on July 31, 2026, to cover tax liabilities from vesting restricted stock units. This non-discretionary sale reduced his direct holdings by 4%, though he retains 1.2 million shares valued at $11.9 million. The article notes UEC's exceptional 5-year performance (406% return vs. S&P 500's 87%) but warns of extremely high valuations (802x P/E ratio), making it suitable only for growth-oriented investors betting on nuclear power's expansion.
