Westgold Resources stock (ISIN AU000000WGX6) was trading at AUD 5.240 on the ASX on October 7, 2026, at 4:31 p.m. AEST. The price was 34.91 percent below the 52-week high of AUD 8.05, making the company's production expansion plans the key valuation reference for investors.

Production targets rise toward FY29

According to Canada Newswire on September 9, 2026, Westgold set FY27 gold production guidance at 385,000 to 425,000 ounces and FY29 production at 460,000 to 510,000 ounces.

The lower end of the production range therefore rises by 75,000 ounces, or 19.48 percent, between FY27 and FY29. The same plan puts FY27 all-in sustaining costs at AUD 2,980 to AUD 3,380 per ounce, compared with AUD 2,640 to AUD 3,000 per ounce for FY29 on an FY27 real-cost basis.

Analysts see upside to AUD 7.201

Investing.com reported on October 1, 2026, that the consensus rating was Buy, based on 7 analysts, including 6 Buy ratings and 1 Hold rating. The average 12-month price target was AUD 7.201, with a high of AUD 9.06599713 and a low of AUD 6.11764706.

Against the AUD 5.240 ASX price, the consensus target lies 37.42 percent above the price. That gap reflects expectations for production growth, while Westgold's FY27 plan also requires AUD 450 million to AUD 480 million of growth capital and AUD 50 million to AUD 75 million for exploration and resource definition.

Westgold stock remains below its yearly high

Westgold Resources had a market capitalization of AUD 4.9 billion as of October 7, 2026. Its 52-week range was AUD 4.35 to AUD 8.05, leaving the stock AUD 0.89 above the yearly low and AUD 2.81 below the yearly high.
