Franco-Nevada Corporation might have remained unmoved YTD, but with the current gold price weakness, even that means it has outperformed gold mining peers. A combination of its business model, prospects for the remainder of 2026 and market multiples contribute to FNV's relatively better performance. I assign a Buy rating, citing robust fundamentals, upside to historical P/E averages, and resilience despite gold's recent weakness.

H1 2026 turned out to be a bad one for gold mining stocks, despite a great start, because of the oil crisis that erupted in 2026. H2 2026 could be better than H1 2026 with no repeat of the big losses, but big gains will be difficult with the crisis still not fully resolved. Gold mining stocks are likely to go flattish in H2 2026, but their ability to go higher should get better longer term for multiple reasons.

Gold has surged higher this year, and the trade is getting loud. Goldman Sachs has warned that investors flocking to gold for safety may be making a mistake, arguing the positioning is stretched.

Franco-Nevada (FNV) has been upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), reflecting growing optimism about the company's earnings prospects. This might drive the stock higher in the near term.

The mean of analysts' price targets for Franco-Nevada (FNV) points to a 31% upside in the stock. While this highly sought-after metric has not proven reasonably effective, strong agreement among analysts in raising earnings estimates does indicate an upside in the stock.
