TD Newcrest downgraded Franco Nev Corp (NYSE: FNV) from Buy to Hold, price target lowered from C$47 to C$45.

TD analyst says, "We continue to like Franco’s business model. Its royalty and revenue stream revenues are generally protected from capital and operating cost inflation, and this has been recognized by investors over the past several quarters with very strong share price performance. However, with the share price now in line with our revised target price and the potential that revenue could be negatively affected by regulatory and production challenges at the MWS and Ezulwini operations, we see less potential for Franco share price to outperform its gold mining peers."
