AU Frequently Asked Questions
What does AngloGold Ashanti do?
AngloGold Ashanti mines gold across Africa, the Americas, and Australia, with flagship assets in Ghana, Tanzania, Australia, and the United States, where it is developing the Expanded Silicon project in Nevada — one of the few large-scale new gold mines being built in North America. The company redomiciled its primary listing to the United States, broadening its investor access beyond its South African origins. Unlike some majors, AngloGold has actively worked to reduce African country risk by exiting South Africa entirely, which was once its primary operating base, improving the overall portfolio risk profile.
Is AU stock a good investment?
AngloGold has undergone significant portfolio transformation, exiting politically and operationally challenging South African assets and repositioning toward lower-risk jurisdictions. The Obuasi gold mine in Ghana has been redeveloped into a cornerstone asset, and the Nevada development pipeline represents a multi-decade growth option in a favorable mining jurisdiction. All-in sustaining costs and project execution are the key metrics to monitor. Gold price leverage is substantial, and the U.S. listing has expanded the institutional investor base available to hold the stock.
Who are AngloGold Ashanti's main competitors?
Barrick Gold and Newmont are the two largest gold mining companies globally and the dominant benchmarks against which all gold producers are measured. Agnico Eagle Mines is widely regarded as an operationally superior intermediate-to-major producer. Gold Fields is a direct peer with a similarly Africa-and-international footprint. Kinross Gold and Endeavour Mining compete for similar West African gold assets and investment dollars. All of these companies effectively compete for the same finite supply of quality development projects and experienced operational talent.
Does AngloGold Ashanti pay dividends?
AngloGold Ashanti pays dividends tied to a formula based on adjusted earnings and free cash flow, making payouts variable with gold prices and operational performance rather than fixed annual increases. The yield is meaningful when gold prices are strong and the company generates robust free cash flow. During low gold price environments, dividend preservation has sometimes taken a back seat to capital investment and balance sheet management. The U.S. listing has pushed management toward a more transparent approach to communicating dividend policy.
What is AU's stock price today?
AU last closed at $85.81, up 0.25% in the most recent trading session. Over the past 52 weeks, the stock has traded between a low of $28.45 and a high of $115.81. The current price represents 66% of its 52-week range, which helps investors gauge where the stock sits relative to its recent trading history.

Keep in mind that analyst targets reflect 12-month expectations and can shift quickly after earnings reports or major company events.
Is Anglogold Ashanti Plc profitable?
Anglogold Ashanti Plc generated $6.79B in revenue during fiscal year 2026, with $1.18B reaching the bottom line as net income. The net profit margin of 17.3% is solid for its sector.
What is AU's P/E ratio?
AU trades at a P/E ratio of 22.11 on trailing earnings of $5.09 per share. That's roughly in line with the broader market average of ~20-25x. Comparing this multiple against Metals & Mining sector peers gives better context than the broad market alone, since P/E norms vary significantly across industries.
How has AU stock performed recently?
Performance varies across timeframes, reflecting shifting market conditions. Returns by timeframe: -5.96% (3M), +25.64% (6M), +140.90% (1Y), +0.25% (YTD). Comparing these figures against the S&P 500 and sector benchmarks helps determine whether AU is outperforming or lagging the broader market.
