10:47 AM EDT, 07/07/2025 (MT Newswires) -- OR Royalties (OR) , previously known as Osisko Gold Royalties, maintained its Outperform rating and $40 price target, National Bank of Canada said in a Monday note.

The bank said the rating is based on the company's near-term growth pipeline driven by expansion initiatives at producing operations located in politically stable jurisdictions.

As the royalty sector is expected to continue generating strong free cash flow at current gold prices, National Bank believes a competitive deal environment will likely contribute to further consolidation within the industry.

"There's scope for a further re-rating given the company's depressed valuation relative to larger-cap royalty peers and premium valuations ascribed to recent acquisitions within the sector," the bank said.

The company recently provided preliminary second-quarter results, including gold deliveries of 19,700 gold equivalent ounces that exceeded National Bank's estimate of 18,860 gold equivalent ounces. OR's preliminary revenues of US$60.4 million also aligned with the bank's forecast of US$60.8 million.

OR traded at $35.65 per share at last look on the TSX.

Price: 35.75, Change: +0.37, Percent Change: +1.05

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
