AngloGold Ashanti (AU) to Announce Q4 2025 Earnings and Potential Additional Dividend on Feb 20

AngloGold Ashanti (AU) is scheduled to release Q4 2025 earnings on February 20, with a potential additional dividend to meet annual payout goals. The company plans to payout 50% of free cash flows as dividends and is expected to make a third true-up payment alongside the earnings announcement. AU shares have declined over 12% from recent highs as gold prices corrected after a volatile rally. Gold prices stabilized around $4,500/oz after a sharp sell-off due to easing geopolitical tensions, a softer trade stance with India, and the nomination of hawkish Fed candidate Kevin Warsh. Higher CME margins also pressured precious metals. With central banks adding to gold reserves and Bitcoin weakness driving inflows, the long-term fundamentals of gold remain intact. AU, which sold Tier 2 assets and added Tier 1 assets, ended Q3 with a net cash position of $450 million and is likely to boost dividends this year using strong free cash flows. The Q4 earnings call will outline capital allocation priorities, with higher shareholder payouts expected given the company’s solid balance sheet and the potential for gold price-driven capital appreciation.
