Royal Gold (RGLD) stock: Winston Score, insiders and Congress trades

Royal Gold is a precious metals streaming and royalty company. Instead of mining gold itself, it pays upfront cash to mining companies in exchange for the right to buy a portion of their future gold, silver, and copper production at a fixed low price — or to receive a percentage of revenue from a mine. Its customers are mining operators around the world, and the end product is precious metals sold into global commodity markets. Royal Gold earns revenue every time a partner mine produces and sells metal, giving it exposure to commodity prices without taking on the high costs and risks of running a mine. It holds interests in over 180 properties across the Americas, Africa, and Australia, making it one of the largest royalty and streaming companies in the world. Its asset-light model drives unusually high margins, as seen in its roughly 68% gross margin. The main risk is that production delays or mine closures at partner operations can reduce royalty income without warning.
