From ROYAL GOLD INC's FY2025 10-K, filed Feb 19, 2026 · read the filing
ROYAL GOLD invests in and manages other businesses. It took in $1.03B last year, which makes it a mid-sized company. Of every dollar it sells, about 45 cents is left as profit.
The financial picture is led by profitability and growth, with debt worth watching.

Why it matters: Sales are what everything else is built on. A fall can be lost customers, lower prices, or a business the company sold — the filing itself says which.
How the latest move compares (quote live), and what was published around it
RGLD fell 3.01% on the latest quote. The average Financials company tracked here moved +1.11%, and the S&P 500 −1.04%. That is 4.1 points below its sector and 2.0 points below the market.
Expectations
Not from the filings — what other people are betting on, and what the price already assumes.
Opinions from 21 analysts covering this company, as of . Their views, not this site's.
Of 21 analysts publishing on this company, 5 say strong buy, 12 say buy, 3 say hold and 1 say sell. Analysts are paid to publish a view and are wrong often; the split above says how much they agree with each other, which is the part a single headline rating hides.
Published by Finnhub. Analyst coverage skews towards larger companies and towards optimism — sell ratings are rare across the whole market, so a company with none is ordinary rather than endorsed.
The essentials
Each answered from the filings, with the numbers behind it.
Yes. It keeps about 45 cents of every dollar of sales as profit, earning $466.3M last year.
Yes, quickly. Sales grew 43.2% last year.
For every $1 it owes, it owns $4.09 in assets. Banks and insurers always carry high debt — that is how lending works — so this is normal for the industry and not comparable with other sectors.
Core operating and valuation reference metrics
Whether the dividend is covered by what the business actually earns
It pays out 25 cents of every dollar of profit and keeps the rest, which leaves the payment comfortably covered. It paid out 17% of the cash its operations generated. It has paid in each of the last 12 years.
GoodNext payment expected around , projected from how regularly it has paid before rather than from a date the company has announced.
Figures from the FY2025 annual filing
Last year it earned $466.3M and generated $704.8M of cash from operations.

Every figure above traces back to a filing in the timeline, each linked to the document itself.
The 26 subsidiaries named in its 10-K, incorporated across 13 places. A filer lists the significant ones and may leave the rest out, so this is the floor rather than the full count.
Every company's figures are checked for internal consistency: the balance sheet adding up, figures sharing one currency, cash flow and share counts within plausible ranges, and how recent the latest annual report is. Nothing here changes a figure.
Financial figures are from RGLD's 10-K for fiscal year 2025 (period ending 2025-12-31, filed Feb 19, 2026), reported under the US GAAP taxonomy. View the source filing.
3 of 4 scored areas had enough reported figures to judge
The score averages profitability, growth, debt and accounting. Accounting had too few reported figures and is left out of the average rather than counted as a weakness, so a company is never marked down for a figure it did not publish. Cash generation is shown for context and already feeds profitability. Valuation is scored separately, because a share price says nothing about whether the business is sound. 9 of the 9 Piotroski checks could be evaluated. How the score works
Each year scored only from its annual report as it was first filed
| Fiscal year | Health | F-Score | Scored from |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | 8.7 | 5/9 | 10-K, filed Feb 19, 2026 |
| FY2024 | 8.7 | 9/9 | 10-K, filed Feb 13, 2025 |
| FY2023 | 7.3 | 8/9 | 10-K, filed Feb 15, 2024 |
| FY2022 | 6.0 | 5/8 | 10-K, filed Feb 16, 2023 |
| FY2021 | 8.7 | 7/8 | 10-K, filed Aug 12, 2021 |
| FY2020 | 8.7 | 8/9 | 10-K, filed Aug 6, 2020 |
A later restatement never reaches back into an earlier year, and every year is scored without a share price, so the latest point can differ a little from the headline score, which uses today's price.

Every figure above comes from the FY2025 filing as filed with the SEC.
Improved: +51.6%
$471.2M to $714.3MCritical
Why it matters: What is left of sales after the direct cost of producing them. It normally moves with revenue, so a move out of step with revenue is the part worth noticing.
Improved: +48.4%
$429.9M to $638.2MCritical
Why it matters: Profit from running the business, before interest and tax. Less exposed than profit to one-off financing and tax items, so a clearer read on the business itself.
Improved: +40.4%
$332.0M to $466.3MCritical
Why it matters: Profit swings far more than sales do, and one-off items — a legal settlement, a tax charge, an asset sale — move it without the underlying business changing.
Deteriorated: turned positive
$0.00 to $895.4MCritical
Why it matters: Rising debt is not automatically bad — borrowing to build something that earns more than the interest is ordinary. It matters when it grows faster than the profit meant to service it.
Deteriorated: +28.6%
65.7M to 84.5MCritical
Why it matters: New shares divide the same company into more pieces, so each existing holding owns slightly less of it. Often pay for staff or an acquisition rather than anything wrong.
Improved: +3.8 pts
65.5% to 69.3%Significant
Why it matters: What survives each sale before overheads. Falling gross margin usually means the company is discounting or its input costs rose — it is the earliest place pricing pressure shows.
Improved: +19.6%
$195.5M to $233.7MSignificant
Why it matters: A falling cash pile is only a warning if the company is consuming it. Paying down debt, buying back stock and paying a dividend all reduce cash by choice.
Improved: +2.2 pts
59.8% to 61.9%Notable
Why it matters: What survives each sale after running the business. A falling operating margin beside a steady gross margin points at overheads — wages, marketing, research — rather than pricing.
Improved: +9.2%
$5.05 to $5.52Notable
Why it matters: Profit divided by the shares in issue at the period end, so it sits close to but not on the company's own reported figure. It can rise with no growth in profit when the company buys back stock — read it beside the share count.
Changed: +12.6%
$105.2M to $118.5MNotable
Why it matters: Cash handed to shareholders. A rise can be a higher dividend or simply more shares, and a cut is a decision the company explains in its own filing — neither is rated here.

Improved: +78.6%
$132.3M to $236.4MCritical

Deteriorated: −10.7 pts
63.1% to 52.5%Critical
Why it matters: What survives to the very end of each sale. Worth reading beside revenue: growing sales on a shrinking margin means the company is buying its growth.
Deteriorated: +28.8%
65.8M to 84.7MCritical
Why it matters: New shares divide the same company into more pieces, so each existing holding owns slightly less of it. Often pay for staff or an acquisition rather than anything wrong.
Deteriorated: −8.0 pts

1 other measure barely moved. Figures compare the two most recent annual filings — read the latest one. Moves are graded on fixed lines — 5%, 15% and 40% for amounts, and 1, 3 and 8 points for margins — as notable, significant or critical. Nothing here reads the management commentary, which is where a company explains its own numbers.
These coincide with the move in time. None is presented as its cause: a price can move on news that names no company, on the wider market, or on trading that no document records.

Loading price history…
Measured on and published about a week later — this is a fortnightly snapshot, not a live position.
About 2.6% of this company's shares have been borrowed and sold by people expecting to buy them back cheaper. That is a bet the price falls. Those people can be wrong, and when a heavily shorted share rises they have to buy it back, which pushes it up further.
Collected by FINRA from broker-dealers twice a month. It counts positions, not intentions, and some of it is hedging rather than a directional bet against the company.
Nothing in this section is a figure this company reported about itself. These are expectations and positions — what the price implies, what analysts have published, what short sellers are betting, and what large funds held at the last count. WylthIQ reports them; it does not endorse them, does not forecast prices, and takes no view on whether any of them will turn out to be right.
The trailing P/E is 25.5x — investors pay $25.5 for each $1 of trailing profit.
Not meaningful for banks, insurers and other financial companies. Their balance sheets have no working capital and are leveraged by design, which this model misreads as distress.
