## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 34.8×** (5-yr avg 36.6×, 3-yr avg 37.9×). Franco-Nevada Corporation trades at 34.8× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 36.6×. The Basic Materials median in the September 2026 study was 19.0×. Forward P/E is 28.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.27**. A PEG of 0.27 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 22.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 22.2×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 6.2×**. The shares trade at 6.2× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 23.9×**. Enterprise value is 23.9× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 1.8%** (5-yr avg 1.3%). Free cash flow equals 1.8% of the market value, above its five-year average of 1.3%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
