Cameco Corporation is currently running 41.1% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against CCJ's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 52nd percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 40.7%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

CCJ is trading -38.2% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -36.0%, and the deepest was -44.5% in 2016. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -21.3% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 3rd percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year CCJ closed higher on 48% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 14 years of records, CCJ finished the month higher 6 of 14 times, with a median return of -1.9% and an average of +0.4%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +4.3% on average, its weakest June at -1.7%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: CCJ has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 233 of 3,268 sessions (7.1% of the time), with the largest gaps running +8.3% and -7.7%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-10-16 and 2026-10-15, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against CCJ's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
