On August 7, Royal rose 5.43% in regular trading, trading at $229.655/share, with turnover of $13.34 million. The rally was primarily driven by spot gold prices surging to near seven-week highs, touching $4,258.99 per ounce.
The gold price advance was fueled by declining U.S. Treasury yields and optimistic expectations surrounding Iran nuclear deal negotiations. Additionally, global central banks recorded net gold purchases of 289 tons in Q2, setting a new record for the period and providing medium-to-long-term support for gold prices. As a precious metals streaming and royalty company, Royal benefits directly from rising gold prices without bearing mining operational costs.
On the earnings front, the company disclosed Q2 results on August 5, reporting adjusted EPS of $2.56, a 41.4% year-over-year increase, on revenue of $450.5 million, up 114.9% year-over-year. Within the Gold sector, the broader group rallied strongly, with Anglogold Ashanti up 10.73%, Coeur Mining up 8.98%, Agnico Eagle Mines up 7.15%, Newmont Mining up 6.25%, and Barrick Mining Corporation up 6.02%.
