#5 - Franco-Nevada (NYSE:FNV)
Franco-Nevada Corp. (NYSE: FNV) is a different way to invest in mining stocks. That is, instead of investing directly into a miner, you’re investing in a company that invests in mining companies. The Canadian-based company has a diversified portfolio of mining stocks. However, in 2024, about 75% of the company’s revenue is coming from its interest in gold and precious metal miners.
The benefit to this approach is that the company doesn’t have the capital and operating costs that miners endure. And the company still benefits when these companies' complete expansion and exploration projects. The company has used this cash flow to keep its balance sheet free of debt which allows it to invest in more growth opportunities.
FNV stock is up 21% in 2024, and analysts have a price target of $152 on the stock, which suggests there could be a 12.4% upside for investors. The company also has a growing dividend with a yield of 1.04%.
