Royal Gold: A Wonderful Company At A Fair Price
Royal Gold delivers robust Q2 2026 results, with revenue up 114.9% and operating cash flow surging 119.3% year-over-year. RGLD's growth is fueled by increased gold equivalent ounces from recent acquisitions and higher precious metal prices, supporting a 17.3% OCF per share CAGR through 2028. Trading at a forward P/OCF of 19.61, RGLD is below its 10-year average, offering a 44% total return potential by end-2027 if it re-rates to fair value.

LFTO trades at ~8x FY26 EV/EBITDA, with a 7.5% owner's yield, but heavy cash uses and generous share grants temper the value proposition. Customer concentration and upcoming share unlocks add risk, while sector-wide regulatory scrutiny on auction transparency introduces a new potential headwind.
