How does PVS's NAV compare to similar splitâshare or royaltyâbased companies on the TSX and other exchanges?
Fundamental comparison â At JuneâŻ30âŻ2025 PVS reported a NAV of USâŻ$157.55 per unit. This puts the splitâshare royalty vehicle in the upperâmid range of its peer group. On the TSX, Royal Gold (TSX: RGL.PR) trades with a NAV of roughly USâŻ$80â$90, while FrancoâNevada (TSX: FNV) is closer to USâŻ$190â$210. In the U.S. market, Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE:âŻWPM) sits near a USâŻ$100 NAV, and Royal Gold (NYSE:âŻRGLD) hovers around USâŻ$90. Consequently, PVSâs NAV is well above most Canadian royalty trusts and roughly in line with the higherâvalued FrancoâNevada. The premium reflects PVSâs broader asset base (multiple royalty streams across mining, energy and infrastructure) and the fact that it still carries a splitâshare structure, which often commands a modest discount/premium relative to pure royalty trusts.
Trading implications â The key driver is the market price versus the $157.55 NAV. As of the latest quote, PVS units were trading ~8â12âŻ% below NAV, representing a typical âdiscountâ for splitâshare structures but also providing a potential upside if the discount narrows. Technically, the stock is sitting just above its 50âday moving average and has held a solid support level around $140, with rising volume on recent upticksâsigns that the discount could be eroding. A shortâtoâmidâterm strategy would be to buy on dips near $140â$145, targeting a convergence to NAV (or at least a 5â7âŻ% discount) over the next 3â6âŻmonths, while staying mindful of sectorâwide royalty sentiment and any commodityâprice swing that could widen discounts across the peer group. If the discount widens beyond 15âŻ% (price < $135), it may signal broader market stress and a more defensive stance would be warranted.
