- A high-quality business (quality 78/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.

- A fairly wide model range ($73.03 to $154.87) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Franco-Nevada Corporation (FNV) currently trades at $231.08, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $96.64, implying the stock looks roughly 58.2% overvalued today. We read business quality at 78/100 (high quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Franco-Nevada Corporation generated revenue of $2.1B at a net margin of 65.7%. Revenue grew 77.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 19.0%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $425M. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $73.03 (bear case) to $154.87 (bull case); at $231.08, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 19% below its 52-week high and 52% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at 16% fair-value upside, at -58%, FNV screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 25 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth DCF ($229.12) versus Dividend Discount ($22.96). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
