Franco-Nevada Corp. (FNV-T) is well-regarded for its strong performance in the royalties sector, particularly in precious metals, base metals, and oil/gas, despite not offering a substantial dividend. The company's track record includes a remarkable 44% annual growth over the past decade, driven by a promising backlog set to materialize in the near term. Analysts highlight its solid execution with no operational risk or debt, albeit with a modest yield of 0.84%. While the stock is seen as having a premium price compared to the broader gold market, experts remain optimistic about significant upcoming transactions that could enhance its value. Precious metals are recommended as a diversifier in investment portfolios, and many analysts suggest positions in FNV alongside caution in adding to existing holdings as market conditions evolve.

COMMENT

Gold? Gold prices have not yet reached their peak. CEF-T is one way to play it, as this ETF holds physical gold. She would prefer holding an actually producer like FNV-T that takes royalties off existing mines.

BUY

Buy it and hold it. Superb company. His clients are overweight gold.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 22/18, Up 31%) A solid dividend player. Not a producer, but a streamer. The dividend will rise as the commodity price rises. On the way down in mining, streamers were the place to be, but now is the time to buy the producers. FNV has a steady cash flow.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He's not a gold bug and prefers royalty companies. So, FNV is his favourite gold stock. The current price is too high as an entry point, so buy below $100 like $95. Otherwise, hold onto it. He prefers this to junior gold producers.

COMMENT

Or buy gold itself? He's not a gold bug. FNV is unique because it is a gold royalty company and not concerned with the daily price of gold. It's better to own this than actual physical gold, because it's less volatile, untouched by geopolitical headlines. Otherwise, invest outside gold.

BUY

It looks that it is just starting to break the long ceiling. That would be very bullish. So far so good for this stock.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Is gold hitting resistance? Gold prices are testing key resistance again at $1350 /oz. He thinks a pullback may be coming back towards $1300 soon and reaccelerate later in the summer to potentially test $1400 or higher. Trading in the mining space seems to suggest the smart money is heading for the exit right now. If you are patient you may be rewarded handsomely. FNV is a good quality holding for the space. The return to highs near $110 are looking a little long in the tooth. He would be patient to try to enter near $100 per share.

DON'T BUY

He models only $48.88. It pays a meager dividend. This is way overpriced. Gold is having a good run though, but he holds little gold.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 14/18, Up 15%) Four criteria for picking gold companies: good solid management, low cost production, reserves on the ground, geopolitical importance. Not a producer, it gets royalties. Dividend is set to increase. Not just gold, it's diversified. He'd recommend it to anybody as part of a small percentage in your portfolio.

HOLD

The premier gold royalty company. A great investment. He feels bad for not owning it in the past. Gold prices near $1300 US and if you feel prices are going higher this would be good.

TOP PICK

Cash operating margin and dividend are strong (and they just raised it). He's choosing FNV to give his portfolio balance. (Analysts’ price target is $111.63)

TOP PICK

Set up now for good seasonality. The premium company in this space. It's volatile, though rangebound over the past 30 months. Excellent balance sheet. The US dollar is a tailwind. For the past 10 summers, FNV has outperformed the market by 9%. (Analysts’ price target is $110.12)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 03/18, Up 5%) A solid performer in recent years and pays a good, growing dividend. He can sleep at night owning this. It's not a miner, but a royalty company involved in copper and oil. Diversified.

WAIT

Is the price of gold manipulated? Gold is now in a sideways range during a commodity bear market that'll last to 2030. That explains why FNV has been in a sideways trading range for so long. It FNV breaks above the current $100 that will be encouraging. Meanwhile, he would wait. June/July is gold's seasonality, so watch it then and possibly buy.

DON'T BUY

Over the next year, you need an analysis of what you expect for the US dollar. Fed had been increasing rates, yields are higher, which was positive for the currency. Market recovery from December was a bit of a blow for precious metals. Royalty companies are more expensive than the producers. He's sat out the sector for a long time.
