FNV: Royalty Cash Flow Grows

Adrian Day's Global Analyst (08/19/2010)
"Franco-Nevada, our favorite royalty company, has seen income up 37% on last year, mostly from one new asset, Palmarejo, which started generating revenues for Franco last July. The percentage of revenues from precious metals rose to 71%, which the margin of 89% remains very high. Revenues should continue to increase next year, as mining at Goldstrike returns to more of Franco's royalty land.

Beyond that, Franco has a solid pipeline and is looking to double revenues within four years. . .With $650M in cash and securities, and an unused credit line of $175M, Franco is in a very strong position. Add to this solid balance sheet, top management, world-class assets and a strong pipeline of development projects—300 royalties in all—and Franco is a core holding. Close to a high, we'll look to buy more on any weakness."
