Franco-Nevada Rises 4.2% After Hours as Higher Gold and Oil Prices Drive Q3 Earnings Growth
Franco-Nevada (NYSE: FNV) shares rose about 4.2% in after-hours trading after the company reported higher third-quarter revenue, cash flow and earnings, supported by stronger gold and oil prices.
Third-quarter revenue increased 13% year over year to $549.3 million, while operating cash flow rose 23% to $429.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased 15% to $493.9 million, or $2.56 per share.
Net income climbed 38% to $395.5 million, or $2.05 per share, while adjusted net income rose 33% to $364.5 million, or $1.89 per share.
The stronger financial results came despite lower attributable volumes. Total GEOs sold declined 6% to 130,435, while net GEOs sold fell 3% to 120,857. Management said precious-metals deliveries were slightly below expectations, but stronger oil and natural gas liquids pricing boosted diversified revenue.
Franco-Nevada narrowed its 2026 total GEO sales guidance to 525,000-555,000 ounces from the previous 510,000-570,000 range, effectively moving the outlook toward the midpoint. Diversified revenue guidance was raised to $300-$330 million from $245-$285 million.
The company also ended September with $4.8 billion of available capital and no debt, providing substantial flexibility for new royalty and streaming investments.
The 4.2% after-hours gain appears to reflect strong earnings and cash-flow growth, an improved diversified revenue outlook and Franco-Nevada’s debt-free balance sheet, despite somewhat softer precious-metals GEO volumes.
