NASDAQMaterialsGoldSnapshot 2026-09-04
Warn: Recent financial performance slipped notably this past month, though still top-half.
Royal Gold grows revenue fast, from $193M to $469M in one year. Profit margins should stay between 17% and 22% in 2026. The company raises dividends steadily, up 6% last year. Capital tools like share buybacks add flexibility.
Revenue growth may slow from recent highs. Profit margins could fall below 17%. Capital allocation may weaken after recent share sales. Earnings misses show risks to profit growth.
The price is about 2% below our fair value near $204. Analysts expect 46% revenue growth, which the market mostly prices in. Our fair value is 34% below the Street median, showing a more cautious view.
Breaks if: Capital allocation tools reduced or share repurchases halted
Breaks if: Dividend growth falls below 6% annually
Gross margin falls below 17% in FY26
