The latest update is out from Anglogold Ashanti PLC ( (AU) ).
On 23 February 2026, AngloGold Ashanti granted its executive directors and executive officers conditional awards of Performance Stock Units, Restricted Stock Units and Transition share awards under its 2024 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. The awards, struck at nil cost and calculated using a six‑month trailing VWAP of $74.49 per share to 31 January 2026, will vest between 2028 and 2029, with PSUs subject to a three‑year performance period and RSUs vesting in three equal annual tranches.
The Transition share awards, which are based on backward‑looking performance to 31 December 2025 and represent the final grants under the legacy structure, will vest in 2028 for executive officers and 2029 for executive directors. The move underscores AngloGold Ashanti’s shift from a historic, backward‑looking incentive model to a forward‑looking plan, further aligning top management’s remuneration with long‑term performance and shareholder interests.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU) stock is a Buy with a $131.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Anglogold Ashanti PLC stock, see the AU Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on AU Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, AU is a Outperform.
Score is driven primarily by strong financial momentum (profitability, cash flow, and improved balance sheet) and supportive technical uptrend. The main offset is a demanding valuation (high P/E), with earnings-call risks centered on inflationary costs, higher capital needs, and permitting/community considerations.
