Investors Flock to Royal Gold

RGLD acquires and manages precious metal streams, royalties, and other interests in mining operations. Gold is the company’s primary focus, though it conducts business with other metals as well. Royal invests in mining assets, provides liquidity for mining companies, and funds merger and acquisition activity. This setup allows RGLD to capitalize on rising metals prices without the typical operating costs and capital spending associated with mining operations. For Big Money seeking to avoid downward volatility, RGLD’s stable metals operations offer a haven.

The company’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings report showed a 19% gain in annual revenue, to $719 million, and adjusted per-share earnings of $5.26. Quarterly revenue hit $203 million, which is a record for the company. RGLD’s quarterly net income was $107 million, or $1.63 per share, which is a 71% jump on a year-over-year basis. The company has minimal debt and more than $1 billion available in revolving credit. Also, RGLD paid over $105 million in dividends and bumped its annual dividend to $1.80 per share for 2025.

It’s no wonder RGLD shares are up 38% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
