Royal Gold: The King Who Still Collects Checks While Others Dig
Summary Royal Gold operates through royalty and streaming interests – benefiting financially from mine production – without getting involved in the day-to-day operations. RGLD's 2024 performance set records with $719 million in revenue, driven by strong gold prices. Royal Gold's business model is highly leveraged to gold prices, with 76% of revenue in 2024 linked to gold. I initiate coverage with a "Hold" rating as RGLD is trading near its all-time highs, and I expect physical miners to continue their outperformance in the current metal price environment.
