Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 31% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published May 8, 2026
Osisko reported record sales and stronger cash coming in, and it raised its dividend. Because it earns money by holding royalty and streaming rights rather than running mines, it has less exposure to mining costs. With the gold link, it can help in volatile markets. Near-term momentum is soft, but continued cash-flow strength could lift its valuation in 0-3 months.
Primary drivers
- Record sales and higher operating cash flow this quarter
- Dividend increase supports the shareholder-return story
- Royalty model reduces exposure to running mine costs
- Gold-linked cash flow provides balance in volatile markets
How it played out
OR: the 20% target was missed
Lyra published a short-term thesis for 20% growth from a price of $38.13. The thesis pointed to record sales, higher operating cash flow, a dividend increase, lower exposure to mine operating costs through the royalty model, and gold-linked cash flow. It also noted soft near-term momentum.
OR rose to a peak of $40.45 on May 11, a gain of 6.1%. It stayed below the $45.67 target throughout the window and ended at $32.15 on August 6. The thesis did not play out within the measured period.
What happened during the window
On July 8, the company reported preliminary second-quarter deliveries of 20,757 gold equivalent ounces and revenue of $97.8 million. On August 5, it reported that second-quarter revenue and operating cash flow each grew 62% year over year.
