The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, Feb. 7, edition that National Bank Financial analysts, ahead of the start of fourth quarter 2023 earnings season for Canadian precious metals companies, expect 2024 guidance will remain a focus of investors, pointing to "higher year-over-year variability and cost increases across the sector." The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Osisko Gold Royalties is a top pick for the analysts. They rate Osisko Gold "outperform," with an unchanged share target of $25. Analysts on average target the shares at $24.85. Analyst Shane Nagle says in a note: "Osisko Gold Royalties maintains an attractive near-term growth outlook with three- and five-year growth CAGR's of 9 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively. With a new CEO and chairman in place, the company will pursue additional growth via traditional royalty/streaming transactions with a continued focus on politically stable jurisdictions." The Globe reported on June 8 that Canaccord rated Osisko Gold Royalties "buy" when it was worth $21.62. The Globe reported on Sept. 26 and Jan. 16 that Mr. Nagle had reiterated his "outperform" rating for Osisko. The shares were then worth $16.18 and $19.06.
