Franco-Nevada Poised to Rise with Gold

FNV manages a wide range of gold-focused royalties and payment streams. The company aims to provide investors with exposure to gold while limiting the risks associated with mining operations. The Toronto-based company expects favorable conditions for gold to benefit multiple company projects, including expanding the TZ, Greenstone, and Salares Norte projects, as well as the potential for increased gold exposure in its Cobre Panama operations.

The company’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings report showed a 5.8% gain in quarterly revenue, to $321 million, and adjusted quarterly per-share earnings of $0.95. FNV’s sales came in near the top of its guidance range. As for 2025, the company expects 25% revenue growth over 2024 based on gold’s ascending price and a 7% jump in sales. FNV also expects to invest heavily as it has $2.4 billion in available capital, which includes a $1 billion credit facility.

It’s no wonder FNV shares are up 47% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
