Should I Buy Franco-Nevada Stock? FNV Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these Franco-Nevada pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Franco-Nevada
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Franco-Nevada Co.:

Franco-Nevada Co. recently increased its quarterly dividend to $0.38, reflecting a commitment to returning value to shareholders. This translates to an annualized dividend of $1.52, providing a yield of 1.10%, which can be attractive for income-focused investors.
The stock is currently trading at $138.37, which is near its 12-month high of $144.27, indicating strong market performance and investor confidence in the company's growth potential.
Analysts have a consensus price target of $146.71, suggesting that there is room for price appreciation, making it a potentially lucrative investment opportunity.
Franco-Nevada Co. operates as a gold-focused royalty and streaming company, which can provide a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty, as gold often retains value during market volatility.
Institutional investors and hedge funds own 77.06% of the company's stock, indicating strong institutional support and confidence in the company's long-term prospects.

Franco-Nevada
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Franco-Nevada Co. for these reasons:

The company's dividend payout ratio (DPR) is -45.57%, which suggests that it is not currently paying out a portion of its earnings as dividends, potentially indicating financial instability or reinvestment in growth rather than returning cash to shareholders.
Franco-Nevada Co. has a negative price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of -43.79, which can be a red flag for investors as it indicates that the company is not currently profitable, making it a riskier investment.
Recent trading activity shows volatility, with shares trading down $5.61 in a single day, which may indicate market uncertainty or negative sentiment surrounding the stock.
Some analysts have issued hold ratings, suggesting that while the stock may not be a sell, it may not be a strong buy either, indicating a lack of strong bullish sentiment in the market.
With a beta of 0.74, the stock is less volatile than the market, which may appeal to conservative investors but could limit potential gains in a bullish market environment.
