Nice upgrade today by CFRA, from Fidelity, on $RGLD; "
"CFRA, an independent research provider, have summarized their opinion as follows:
We lift our 12-month target by $6 to $231, representing 26.0x our 2026 EPS estimate, in line with RGLD's two-year avg. forward P/E of 25.9x and a discount to streaming/royalty peers, which are trading at an avg. forward P/E of 36.3x. We lift our 2025 EPS estimate by $0.79 to $7.74 and our 2026 EPS forecast by $0.56 to $8.90. Our upgrade reflects RGLD's transformational growth trajectory following the announced acquisitions of Sandstorm Gold ($3.5B) and Horizon Copper ($196M), plus the $1B Kansanshi gold stream acquisition. These transactions position Royal Gold (RGLD) as a top-tier growth company in the streaming sector with 393 total interests and exceptional portfolio diversification. We believe RGLD's shares are undervalued given the company's top-tier margin profile, debt-free balance sheet with $1.25B in liquidity, and robust organic growth pipeline from 47 development-stage assets. The pending acquisitions create significant scale advantages while maintaining RGLD's precious metals focus (78% gold revenue mix)."
