Conversion price: The upsized 2025â2031 convertible senior notes are priced to convert at USâŻ$1.00 per DNN share (the âconversion priceâ).
Current market price of DNN stock: As of the AugustâŻ13âŻ2025 pricing announcement, DNNâs common shares were trading around USâŻ$0.90â$0.92 on the NYâŻAmex and TSX markets.
How the two compare
The $1.00 conversion price represents a ~10âŻ% premium to todayâs share price. In convertibleânote terms this is a modest conversion premium â it gives the notes a builtâin upside cushion before conversion becomes attractive, while protecting existing shareholders from immediate dilution.
Trading implications
- Yield vs. upside: The notes carry a relatively high coupon (typical for a subâ$1 conversion price) and will likely trade at a spread to Treasuries that reflects the conversion premium. As long as DNN stays below $1.00, the notes behave like highâyield debt; if the stock rallies above $1.00, conversion risk rises and the notes could trade down toward equity levels.
- Equityâplay: For longâbiased equity traders, the conversion premium signals that a sustained rally to $1.00+ is needed to trigger conversion. Monitor priceâsupport zones (ââŻ$0.85â$0.90) and any catalyst (e.g., uraniumâprice moves, mineâdevelopment news) that could push DNN toward the $1.00 threshold.
- Positioning: Holding the notes is attractive for income if you expect DNN to remain flat or modestly below $1.00. If youâre bullish on a breakout, a long DNN equity position with a stop just below $0.90 can capture upside while the notes provide a hedge if the rally stalls and the notes revert to debtâlike pricing.
In short, the $1.00 conversion price sits about 10âŻ% above todayâs market level, limiting immediate conversion risk and framing the convertible notes as a yieldâfocused instrument unless the stock can break above the $1.00 mark. Traders should watch for any upward momentum that narrows that premium, as it will dictate whether the notes stay debtâlike or begin to act as a conversion vehicle for equity exposure.
