AngloGold Ashanti shares are sliding as traders reassess earlier optimism ahead of the company’s Q1 2026 earnings, tempering expectations that had been fueled by hopes of a blockbuster profit jump. The pullback comes as some investors lock in gains and question whether recent strength in gold prices and mining stocks can be sustained.
Previously, bullish forecasts had centered on a projected 151 percent year-over-year surge in profits, powered by record-high gold prices and strong output from the Sukari and Obuasi mines. Sentiment had also been boosted by news of a new 4.9 million ounce mineral reserve at the Arthur Gold Project in Nevada, which analysts had cited to justify more aggressive price targets.
