Franco-Nevada FNV
Franco-Nevada is a Canadian streaming and royalty company that finances gold and other metal mines in exchange for a share of their future production, generating revenue without assuming the operational costs of mining. Franco-Nevada combines exceptional growth (revenue +58.2%) with impeccable financial health (net debt negative), but its demanding valuation (P/E 33.66, EV/EBITDA 23.34) and pressure from interest rates on long-duration cash flows limit its appeal at these prices.

Context and risks
