# Analyst Favorites: Uranium Energy Ranks As a Top Metals Pick

A study of analyst recommendations at the major brokerages shows that Uranium Energy Corp (Symbol: UEC) is the #19 broker analyst pick, on average, out of the 50 stocks making up the Metals Channel Global Mining Titans Index, according to Metals Channel. The Metals Channel Global Mining Titans Index is comprised of the top fifty global leaders from the metals and mining sector. The companies listed in the Metals Channel Global Mining Titans Index are not fixed, but instead variable — updating on a continuous basis to reflect the changing market environment with respect to commodity prices, government policy and market volatility.

From the other direction, when companies have a low rank among analysts, it isn't necessarily the case that investors should conclude that the stock will perform poorly. It can, of course, but a bullish investor could also take the contrarian angle and read into the data that there is lots of room for upside because the stock is so out of favor.

UEC operates in the Metals & Mining sector, among companies like Rio Tinto plc (RIO) which is up about 2.6% today, and Freeport-McMoran Copper & Gold (FCX) trading higher by about 3.6%. Below is a three month price history chart comparing the stock performance of UEC, versus RIO and FCX.

UEC is currently trading up about 6.8% midday Monday.
