Franco-Nevada Corporation (NYSE: FNV) stock reached its all-time high of $168 on the eighth of March, after making an inspired charge from its lowest price level of $124 in January.
If you viewed FNV stock from 2022 alone, you might be impressed. But from a broader historical view, this wouldn’t be the first time this stock would make such a move since 2020. In fact, the stock has mostly moved sideways in its entire history.

FNV has never looked like one for exciting growth prospects. It has only managed just over 330% in growth since it went public in 2011. But value investors can often rely on the stock to buy-low-sell-high.
So, what’s the outlook for the stock? Is Franco-Nevada a buy right now?

Support and Resistance Levels
Three distinct levels have stood out on the FNV stock so far. Of them, two are supports, and the topmost one is a resistance level. These three levels are distinct because the price has mostly ranged among them since 2020.
The Year 2022, however, has been a great year for the stock. The year started with the stock very close to the lowest of the three levels. It then rose by 35% from the lowest price level of the year to the stock’s all-time high, cutting through the $142.5 – $145.5 resistance level (which is now a support level) in the process.
However, the stock tried to break out of the $161.9 – $165.6 resistance level but fell short. It now rests just underneath the support level.
Is Franco-Nevada Corporation a Buy Right Now?
Desist from buying Franco-Nevada Corporation stock. The technicals don’t look so great, as the stock seems to have bounced off the $161.9 – $165.6 resistance level. The closest support level at $142.5 – $145.5 is now the next likely destination. That’s a 7% downside from the current stock price of $158.
If the stock makes another quick challenge of the resistance level that becomes successful, which is still very possible, we may upgrade our forecast for the stock to a buy. But even then, we would need to re-analyze the market condition to be sure.
For the moment, though, we recommend you hold the FNV stock.
