RGLD acquires and manages precious metal streams, royalties, and other mining interests, with gold as the company’s primary focus, though it deals in other metals too. RGLD’s second-quarter fiscal 2026 report showed total revenue of $450.5 million (a 114.9% year-over-year gain) led by higher metal prices and production expansion, adjusted net income of $218.2 million or $2.56 per share (a 41.4% lift), record operating cash flow of $335.2 million (a 119.4% jump), and $70.3 million returned to shareholders via dividends and repurchases.

No wonder RGLD 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.
