Diversified its royalty base. Coal royalties are effectively valued at 0, due to political incorrectness of coal; but they generate substantial free cashflow. Free cashflows in the royalty business are very strong, as you don't have operating or capital costs. Looks to be in for a period of revenue growth, suggesting pretty dramatic FCF growth.
Either the share price goes up, or it gets taken over by another royalty company.
Rick RuleCheapest of the intermediate royalty companies, but best cashflow pipeline. Based in London UK and there aren't a lot of royalty companies there. Principal source of free cashflow is coal, decidedly out of favour. Royalties from coal will go down over next 3-5 years.
The market's missing its wonderful portfolio of other assets. One of 2 things will happen. Either share price goes up, or it gets consolidated by another mid-tier, or larger, royalty company. Would make a wonderful tuck-in acquisition. Yield is 4%.

Misunderstood. Collection of royalties built around coal, but that's become a much less important part of the suite. Likes that it acquired a lot of royalties before doing that became popular. Cashflow is very well established, now and in future. Under-owned and unknown. He's long this name.
