Royal Gold shares are sliding as the stock trades ex-dividend and gets hit by a sharp drop in global gold prices after a hawkish geopolitical speech by the U.S. President. The move is being compounded by a sector-wide selloff and investors locking in gains after a strong rally earlier this week.
That earlier run-up had been fueled by bullish sentiment around the company’s business outlook. Investors had bid the stock higher following Royal Gold’s Investor Day, where management unveiled upgraded sales guidance for 2026, prompting optimism that now appears to be unwinding in today’s session.
