On Monday, BMO Capital resumed coverage on Gold Royalty Corp. (NYSE:GROY) stock with an upgraded rating and a new price target. The firm set an Outperform rating on the stock, a shift from the previous Market Perform status, and established a price target of $2.50.
The upgrade follows Gold Royalty's recent bought deal financing, which had placed BMO Capital in a period of research restriction. With the restriction lifted, the firm has reassessed the company's position and prospects. The proceeds from the financing round were allocated towards the acquisition of a copper stream on the Vares Silver project.
Despite the equity dilution caused by the offering, BMO Capital views the internal rate of return (IRR) on the transaction favorably. The analyst believes that the near-term cash flow generated from this deal will be instrumental in supporting Gold Royalty's efforts to reduce its debt.
Additionally, it is expected to provide financial bridge support to other portfolio assets that are either slated to commence operations or significantly increase their contribution to the company's performance.
The analyst's commentary highlighted the positive outlook for Gold Royalty, noting the reasonable IRR and the anticipated benefits to the company's deleveraging initiatives.
With the new cash flow, Gold Royalty is expected to strengthen its financial position and enhance its ability to manage and grow its portfolio of assets.
