All four companies on the Trefis peer list for Royal Gold rose the same session. What else was happening in the market that Monday, and how is Royal Gold tied to it?
What Moved Stocks And Gold On November 9?
Stocks rebounded broadly that Monday. Wall Street recovered following a steep sell-off in global technology shares during the previous week, and the Nasdaq Composite rose 2.7% between the November 6 and November 9 closes. Gold also picked up. On November 9, ANZ Research said the metal had gained some momentum as lower oil prices and a rebound in equity markets boosted risk appetite.
Gold matters to Royal Gold because the metal provides most of the company’s sales. Management said on the November 5 earnings call that gold made up 73% of revenue in the third quarter of 2026. Revenue for the quarter reached $465 million, up 84% from a year earlier. Management attributed the increase to higher metal prices, including a 23% rise in gold, and to new contributions from Kansanshi and the Sandstorm and Horizon portfolio.
Royal Gold Rose More Than Each Of Its Peers
Royal Gold rallied alongside its group and advanced further than any other member. All four companies on its peer list gained during the session. Triple Flag Precious Metals closed up 4.6% and Franco-Nevada climbed 3.3%, while OR Royalties and SSR Mining also rose. The materials sector fund (XLB) gained 1.9%, a little less than the S&P 500. Royal Gold outpaced every peer and recorded a gain more than three times larger than the sector fund’s.
Where Does Royal Gold Stock Stand After The Rise?
Rises this large have happened before. Royal Gold experienced four sessions with a rise at least this large in the prior 365 days. The most recent came on November 4, when the stock gained 6.6%. On November 5, the day of its third-quarter call, the shares gained a further 6.2%, just short of Monday’s rise.
Those gains came in a strong year. The stock returned 68.0% over the twelve months to November 9, against 13.7% for the S&P 500. Over the past month it returned 19.7%, while the index lost 3.3%. Even so, it closed below its 52-week closing high of $304.29, set on March 2, 2026. It closed at $282.66 on November 9, about 7% below that high.
The shares are priced at 13.6 times the company’s sales over the past twelve months, against 3.1 times for the S&P 500. Royal Gold is expected to report its fourth-quarter 2026 results in February 2027, and its revenue from gold is the measure to watch.
