Most Popular Narrative: 22.1% Undervalued

Based on the most followed narrative, Franco-Nevada’s fair value of CA$417.41 sits well above the last close at CA$325.26, which is why analysts frame current pricing as a discount that depends heavily on a few key projects.

Accelerating development and potential earlier-than-expected production from large-scale growth projects such as Cascabel, Castle Mountain, and possibly New Prosperity, broadens the near

and medium-term revenue pipeline and provides potential upside to future guidance and earnings.

Another View: Franco-Nevada Through Earnings Multiples

That 22.1% implied undervaluation for Franco-Nevada sits against a very different message from its P/E ratio. The stock trades on 30.6x earnings, almost double the Canadian Metals and Mining industry at 15.8x and well above peers at 16.2x, while the fair ratio is 17.6x.
