On August 7, Royal rose 5.42% in pre-market trading, trading at $229.0/share, with turnover of $720,500.
On the news front, spot gold continued to strengthen and climbed to a near seven-week high, touching $4,258.99/oz, primarily supported by declining U.S. Treasury yields and optimism around Iran nuclear agreement negotiations. The gold price rally broadly lifted the precious metals mining sector. As a precious metals streaming and royalty company, Royal directly benefits from rising gold prices. Additionally, global central banks net purchased 289 tons of gold in Q2, setting a record high for the period, providing medium-to-long-term support for gold prices.
Royal also recently reported Q2 results, with adjusted EPS of $2.56, up 41.4% year-over-year from $1.81, and revenue of $450.5 million, more than doubling from $209.6 million a year earlier. Within the Gold sector, the overall sector showed broad strength, with Coeur Mining up 7.41%, Equinox Gold up 6.64%, Agnico Eagle Mines up 5.0%, Newmont Mining up 4.92%, and Barrick Mining up 4.79%.
