In short

Thesis
AngloGold Ashanti trades above its intrinsic value because investors pay for its gold cash flow and cash returns, and only lower unit costs, on-time growth projects and steady repurchases can support this price.
Gap
Slow. Only several quarters of lower unit costs, on-time Nevada projects and steady cash returns can support the price, and the gold price also moves the result.

Company guidance: 2026 gold production of 2.80 to 3.17 million ounces, reaffirmed, with costs and capital spending within guided ranges (, Q3 2026 earnings release (6-K))

Price history

About

AngloGold Ashanti plc (AngloGold Ashanti) is a gold mining company with its registered office in London and its main executive office in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Its ordinary shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (AU) and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (ANG). It files Form 20-F and Form 6-K as a foreign private issuer. It runs ten operating assets on three continents: Geita, Obuasi, Iduapriem, Siguiri and Sukari in Africa, the Kibali joint venture in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sunrise Dam and Tropicana in Australia, and Cuiabá and Cerro Vanguardia in the Americas.

In 2025, group gold production was 3,091,000 ounces, adjusted EBITDA was $6,294 million and free cash flow was $2.9 billion. At December 31, 2025, the gold Mineral Reserve was 36.5 million ounces. Its growth projects include Arthur and North Bullfrog in Nevada. Alberto Calderon is Chief Executive Officer.

Thesis

AngloGold Ashanti trades above its intrinsic value because investors pay for the large cash flow that the gold price gives it and for the cash it returns to shareholders, even though it is a miner with rising costs and risks in many countries. All-in sustaining costs rose to $2,170 per ounce in Q3 2026 from $1,720 a year before, and production fell at five of ten assets. A death at Sukari in August 2026, flooding at Iduapriem, a new Guinean rule that requires gold to be refined at home, and a cyber incident in October add doubt about whether it can keep to its plan. It also invests more, with capital spending of $2,000 million to $2,200 million guided for 2027.

For the price to hold, three things must be true. Q4 production must lift the year into the guided 2.80 to 3.17 million ounces, with lower unit costs as Iduapriem, Sukari and Obuasi recover. The growth projects at Geita, Siguiri and Cuiabá ($750 million to $900 million) and North Bullfrog in Nevada must arrive on time and within budget. And free cash flow must keep paying the dividend and the repurchase programme of up to $2.0 billion that shareholders approved in July 2026, while net cash stays at $1.26 billion or more.

The Q4 2026 report in February 2027 with the 2027 outlook, and the North Bullfrog permits, show whether this happens. The gold price also moves the shares, and the company does not control it.

Risks

  • The gold price drives cash flow. At about 3 million ounces a year, each $100 per ounce change in the price moves revenue by about $300 million before royalties and taxes, and royalties rise with the price.
  • Operations and safety: there were deaths at Sukari in August 2026 and at Obuasi earlier in 2026. Flooding hit Iduapriem, and production fell year on year in Q3 2026 at Iduapriem (43%), Obuasi (26%), Sukari (21%), Tropicana (15%) and Geita (4%).
  • Country risk is high. Guinea now requires raw gold to be refined at home, $163 million of the company's share of cash was awaiting repatriation from the Democratic Republic of the Congo at September 30, 2026, and other mines are in Ghana, Tanzania and Egypt.
  • Costs are rising. AISC was $2,170 per ounce in Q3 2026 against $1,720 a year before. Price-linked royalties added $81 per ounce and fuel added $33 per ounce in the first nine months.
  • Growth projects need permits and money. North Bullfrog needs federal and state permits, the Arthur feasibility study is not finished, and capital spending is guided to rise to $2,000 million to $2,200 million in 2027.
  • A cyber incident in October 2026 is still under investigation. The company said that production was not affected.
