Price (30 Jul 26 16:00) US$82.33 broadly in line vs CitiE ($2.0bn) and VA consensus ($2.0bn). The y/y

Target price US$125.00 increase is primarily due to over 30% higher gold price, partially offset by

lower gold production/sales and a 21% increase in cash cost. HEPS Expected share price return 51.8%

increased by 58% y/y to $1.98/sh. The significant increase in earnings Expected dividend yield 5.3%

resulted in: (i) net cash increasing to $991m, and (ii) a dividend Expected total return 57.2%

announcement of $0.72/sh (lower vs CitiE/consensus) which implies a Market Cap US$41,638M

payout of 0.36x. Guidance remains unchanged and now implies higher

h/h production and lower h/h cash costs in 2H. Further, on 23 July 2026,

company’s shareholders approved the previously announced proposed

share repurchase programme for AngloGold Ashanti’s ordinary shares of Ephrem RaviAC
