Franco-Nevada Corporation (FNV) on Decifer

Decifer ranks FNV number 156 of 277 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns solid returns on the money it puts to work, around 13% and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is growing about 64% a year, profits grew 105% over the past year, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a high share of every sale as profit, with profitability widening as it grows.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• We do not have a clean read on how it is run yet.
• Its profit margin and growth are both unusually high right now compared to its own history, the kind of combination that often fades once conditions normalize.
• Revenue up about 64% a year with profits up 105% catch the eye, but an unclear read on management, margins that often fade and momentum of 4 out of 35 hold it back.

The current read

The evidence on FNV lines up on the supportive side: a live market force supports this name through its theme connection. The independent signals we track are telling the same story.

Themes
