Closing at $16.77 in the last trading session, the stock is trading below its 52-week high of $20.49 but higher than its 52-week low of $6.78.
Factors Driving Allied Gold
Allied Gold is benefiting from strength across its operations in Mali, Côte d’Ivoire and Ethiopia. In the first nine months of 2025, the company produced 262,077 ounces of gold, higher than 258,459 ounces produced in the year-ago period.
The company aims to increase the output to more than 375,000 ounces this year, with significant production expected in the fourth quarter. This growth reflects the enhanced production at both of its Bonikro and Sadiola mining sites, along with the expected completion of the Phase 1 project at the Sadiola site.
The company has been drilling high-grade zones, refining its mine models and improving grade control to enhance accuracy and productivity. Allied Gold has deployed new equipment at its Sadiola mine to improve fleet availability and has strengthened mine management with experienced local hires in Mali. It’s also increasing its stripping activities at Bonikro and Agbaou sites to access higher-grade ore. These efforts to lift production, along with operational improvement, are expected to benefit the company.
A mix of economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions and central bank policy shifts has fueled gold’s price surge. The uptrend gained further momentum when the U.S. government announced new tariffs, sparking uncertainties over global trade. With gold prices at record highs, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the second time this October, making short-term debt instruments less attractive and nudging investors toward assets like gold.
Better-Than-Industry Returns
AAUC’s trailing 12-month return on equity (ROE) is indicative of its growth potential. ROE for the trailing 12 months is 24.32%, much higher than the industry’s 15.44%, reflecting the company’s efficient usage of shareholders’ funds.
