This isn't just about getting bigger; it’s about building a fortress of cash flow that’s tough for competitors to breach. The sheer scale achieved means revenue stability by spreading risk across a massive 393 royalties and streams, with the crucial detail that no single asset is expected to exceed 13% of Net Asset Value (NAV). This is the diversification premium you pay for. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly, this portfolio structure is what allows them to post record revenue, like the $252.1 million seen in Q3 2025, while keeping that Adjusted EBITDA margin high, around 82%. The focus remains laser-sharp: post-acquisition, about 87% of revenue is expected from precious metals, with gold alone accounting for roughly 75%.
