Dividend Boost Reflects Confidence: Osisko Gold Royalties Increases Payout by 20%

Osisko Gold Royalties has delivered encouraging news for income-focused investors: the company announced a 20% increase in its quarterly dividend, raising the payout to US$0.055 per share, payable on July 15, 2025. This move underscores Osisko’s strong financial performance and commitment to rewarding shareholders—particularly relevant in an environment where consistency and yield are increasingly valued.

About Osisko Gold Royalties

Founded in 2014, Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. is a precious metals royalty company headquartered in Montreal, Canada. Its business model revolves around acquiring royalty and streaming agreements on high-quality, long-life mines operated by reputable partners. Osisko earns a percentage of the revenue generated from these mines, providing steady cash flows without exposure to operating risks or capital costs.

With over 195 royalties, streams, and precious metal offtakes—including cornerstone assets like the Canadian Malartic Complex—Osisko maintains a strong presence in politically stable jurisdictions, mainly in North America and Australia.

Why This News Matters

The 20% dividend hike sends a clear message: Osisko is confident in its cash-generating ability and is aligning its capital allocation with shareholder interests.

In the first quarter of 2025, the company reported:

• $54.9 million in revenue from royalties and streams

• 19,014 gold equivalent ounces earned (GEOs)

• Net earnings of $25.6 million—more than doubling from a year ago

• $46.1 million in cash flow from operations

• $49.6 million in total debt repayments year-to-date

• 
  

These metrics paint a picture of a financially disciplined company that is not only growing, but also returning value through enhanced dividends and reduced leverage. For income-seeking investors and those looking for precious metals exposure with less volatility than traditional miners, Osisko represents a compelling option.

Looking Ahead

Osisko continues to position itself as a leading royalty and streaming company. Its scalable, low-risk model offers predictable income and inflation protection—two qualities highly valued in today's markets. The increased dividend may also attract more institutional attention, potentially supporting the share price over the medium term.
