AngloGold Ashanti shares are sliding as investors react to sector-wide selling in gold miners and weaker spot gold prices, which are weighing on major producers. The move is intensified by the company’s cautious 2026 outlook, signaling lower production and higher all-in sustaining costs driven by inflation and increased royalties.
Further pressure comes from the recent ex-dividend date on March 13, when a sizeable special dividend was paid out and then priced into the stock. As traders reassess what AngloGold Ashanti is worth without that one-off payout, the market continues to reset the share price to reflect the softer guidance and changed income profile.
