AU Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Anglogold Ashanti PLC is positioned for a promising outlook due to its ability to potentially increase its base dividend to 1.5-2.0% and introduce mechanisms for returning substantial free cash flow (FCF) through regular special dividends or share buybacks. The company's production is expected to rise by approximately 240,000 ounces in the near term, bolstered by the ramp-up at the Obuasi mine and enhancements at other assets that previously faced challenges. Additionally, the positive developments at the Sukari mine, with its capacity to contribute around 500,000 ounces of production at below-average costs, further support Anglogold Ashanti's growth trajectory and financial stability.
Bears say
The financial outlook for Anglogold Ashanti PLC appears negative due to a projected 10% decline in free cash flow (FCF) for 2025, compounded by elevated capital spending that adversely affects FCF predictions. Additionally, the company faces significant medium-term production decline risks from short reserve life assets in Brazil and Argentina, which could lead to a decreased production profile starting around 2028. Mixed production and cost guidance further complicate the outlook, with a weaker performance relative to peers in the fourth quarter and a lack of robust, defined capital returns plans in the gold mining sector contributing to investor uncertainty.
