On June 10, AngloGold Ashanti declined 5.72% in regular trading, trading at $79.79/share, with trading volume of $33.51 million. The stock continued its downward trajectory amid a combination of an investment bank target price reduction and broad-based gold sector weakness.
On the news front, Royal Bank of Canada previously slashed its target price on AngloGold Ashanti from $138 to $114, a reduction of 17.4%, while maintaining its outperform rating. The lingering impact of this downgrade has continued to weigh on market sentiment. According to FactSet, the average analyst rating remains overweight with a mean price target of $135.59.
Within the Gold sector, the broader group declined in tandem, with Newmont Mining down 3.43%, Wheaton Precious Metals down 3.18%, Coeur Mining down 2.89%, Barrick Mining down 2.35%, and Agnico Eagle Mines down 2.27%. AngloGold Ashanti's decline notably exceeded peers, reflecting the additional pressure from the target price revision.
