AngloGold Ashanti (GB00BRXH2664) closed at USD 94.92 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, up 0.76 percent from the prior session. The latest regulatory development is a JSE censure over delayed disclosure of 2025 interim results, issued on October 2, 2026.

JSE cites 27-minute delay

According to EBNewsDaily on October 2, 2026, the JSE found that AngloGold Ashanti's interim earnings and dividend announcement reached the exchange's SENS service 27 minutes after distribution through Business Wire. The finding concerns a disclosure made on August 1, 2025, and the exchange said simultaneous publication was reasonably achievable.

The regulatory issue concerns disclosure timing rather than the company's latest operating performance. The same report confirms that AngloGold Ashanti's primary share listing moved to New York in September 2023, while JSE trading remains a secondary listing.

Cash flow remains the key figure

For Q2 2026, Benzinga reported EBITDA of USD 2 billion, up 46 percent year over year, while headline earnings rose 58 percent to USD 1 billion. Free cash flow increased 36 percent to USD 727 million from USD 535 million in Q2 2025, giving investors a clearer measure of operating leverage than production alone.

The Q2 figures also came with cost pressure. Total cash costs reached USD 1,480 per ounce, while management reaffirmed 2026 guidance and pointed to higher production in the second half, according to the earnings transcript carried by Benzinga.

Consensus target stays above USD 116

Gekko lists 5 Buy and 2 Hold ratings among 7 firms, with an average 12-month target of USD 116.88, a low of USD 88.70 and a high of USD 140.00. Against the October 2 price of USD 94.92, the average target lies 23.1 percent above the stock.

That valuation gap sits alongside a sharply defined trading range. AngloGold Ashanti's 52-week range is USD 62.55 to USD 129.14, and its October 2 volume was 1,296,419 shares, giving the regulatory headline a market context without turning it into an operating forecast.
