Franco-Nevada: Buy The Dips
https://seekingalpha.com/artic…ock-buy-the-dips#comments
- Franco-Nevada reported solid results in Q1, with double-digit revenue and adjusted EPS growth.
- This was helped by much higher energy prices and increased contribution from iron ore, offset by lower precious metals production and lower silver prices.

Summary
Franco-Nevada is the gold standard for low-risk exposure to precious metals, and with the recent rise in energy prices, the stock is seeing an acceleration in its earnings growth above that of its peers. However, Franco-Nevada lacks meaningful growth like other royalty/streaming names, and while its diversification across assets and commodities commands a premium, I still don't see enough margin of safety to justify paying up for the stock at $140.00. So, while I think Franco-Nevada is a long-term hold and a staple for a precious metals portfolio, I continue to see better value elsewhere in the sector. Having said that, any dip below $130.00 should present a buying opportunity.
