Let’s check these stocks out and discover what the future holds for them and why they are priced low.

Transocean Offshore oil drilling company Transocean ($RIG) has been the victim of the energy industry struggling as a result of the plunging prices of crude oil. Offshore drilling costs more than land-based drilling. And with oil now costing below $50 per barrel, the high expenses of offshore drilling are hard to justify. That’s the reason Transocean trades in single digits. But crude oil is now moving to the $60 range, and that’s encouraged some of the oil producers go ahead with their offshore plans. As for Transocean, it has made the required steps for improving its business health by streamlining its operations through reduced operating costs and greater efficiency. Now, the rebound in the energy industry could cause it to head to a boom. That’s when Transocean can reveal the progress it has made with the goal of becoming industry leader.

Cameco has indicated that at the current uranium prices, available supplies are most valuable when left un-mined. However, there are also the safety concerns regarding nuclear energy that many countries are worried about. Nuclear power can’t be eliminated though, and so Caplinger argues that Cameco would come through, having survived many tough conditions. Its shares have a potential for climbing higher.
