AngloGold Ashanti plc (AU)

The company now

AngloGold Ashanti said on 31 July 2026 that second-quarter free cash flow rose 36 percent to $727 million 1. Headline earnings, a profit measure used in South Africa, rose 58 percent to $1.0 billion from $639 million a year earlier 1.

The company said the gain was supported by cost management and a 35 percent rise in the average gold price received, to $4,446 an ounce 1. An interim dividend of $364 million, or 72 US cents a share, was declared 1.

Mining output fell 1. Group gold production was 744,000 ounces, down from 804,000, mainly because Serra Grande was sold and Obuasi in Ghana produced less after a contractor died in April 1.

The company expects production in the second half to be higher than in the first and left its 2026 guidance unchanged 1. Shareholders approved a repurchase programme of up to $2.0 billion on 23 July 2026, but it still needs any regulatory approvals 2.

The open question is whether output rises as the company expects and whether the repurchase begins 1.
