Shares of Franco-Nevada Corporation (FNV) rise 310% since institutions first bought big in 2016.

FNV manages gold-focused royalties and payment streams from around the world, providing investors with exposure to gold while limiting the operational risks associated with mining. The company’s third-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings report showed record YTD results, including $549.3 million in revenue (a 13% year-over-year gain), adjusted EBITDA of $493.9 million (a 15% jump), adjusted net income of $364.5 million or $1.89 per share (a 33% rise), $84.1 million paid in shareholder dividends (the 19th straight quarter of dividend increases), and $4.8 billion of available capital for more growth.

No wonder FNV shares are up 20% this year – and they could rise more. MoneyFlows data shows how Big Money investors are again betting heavily on the stock.
