Analysis
Royal Gold, Inc (RGLD) currently trades at $218.11, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $93.40, implying the stock looks roughly 57.2% overvalued today. We read business quality at 50/100 (solid 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, Royal Gold, Inc generated revenue of $1.3B at a net margin of 48.9%. Revenue grew 143.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 12.0%. Net debt stands at $732M. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $70.05 (bear case) to $116.75 (bull case); at $218.11, 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 29% below its 52-week high and 46% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at 16% fair-value upside, at -57%, RGLD 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 22 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth DCF ($236.77) versus Asset-Based ($56.50). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
