AngloGold Ashanti stock fell 5.60 percent to USD 98.74 on September 23, 2026, leaving the share price 23.54 percent below its 52-week high of USD 129.14. The move contrasts with Q2 2026 EBITDA of USD 2 billion, up 46 percent year over year.
Valuation pressure meets strong cash flow
As Investing.com reported on September 10, 2026, BMO Capital downgraded AngloGold Ashanti from Outperform to Market Perform and kept a USD 115 price target. The report linked the change to valuation after a period of relative outperformance.
The same report put Q2 earnings per share at USD 1.96 against a USD 2.04 consensus estimate, while revenue reached USD 3.1 billion versus a USD 3.3 billion estimate. That comparison gives the stock a more complex profile than the headline cash-flow figures alone suggest.
Q2 cash generation accelerates
Benzinga reported that Q2 2026 free cash flow reached USD 727 million, up 36 percent from USD 535 million in Q2 2025. Net cash flow from operating activities increased 41 percent year over year to USD 1.4 billion.
Basic earnings per share rose 49 percent year over year to USD 1.97 from USD 1.32 in Q2 2025, according to the same Q2 results coverage. The figures show why operating cash flow and earnings growth remain central to the stock valuation despite the recent price decline.
