RBC Capital Maintains Outperform on Anglogold Ashanti, Raises Price Target to $41

Shares of precious metals stocks are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

Gold miners dominated <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mergers-and-acquisitions" rel="noreferrer noopener">mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) activity</a> in the metals and mining industry in 2024. Research by S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence found that yellow metal deals accounted for 70% of the total transaction value.
The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/mining-mna-in-2024-gold-dominates-mna-space-for-2nd-consecutive-year" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> showed 62 gold-related transactions, compared to 47 in 2023, or a 32% growth. Although the overall deal value remained relatively close, at $26.36 billion, the $16.5 billion Newmont's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) acquisition of Newcrest was an outlier, skewing the numbers for the year before.
Most of 2024's M&amp;A occurred in two top jurisdictions, Australia and Canada. Gold's 27% surge in 2024 further incentivized acquisitions, while geopolitical risks, including the persisting conflict in Ukraine, tensions in the Middle East, and rising central bank purchases, encouraged expansions through acquisitions.
Northern Star Resources (OTCPK: NESRF) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42262825/northern-star-acquires-de-grey-for-33-billion-secures-promising-tier-1-asset" rel="noreferrer noopener">$3.26 billion acquisition</a> of De Grey Mining was the largest single transaction, consolidating ownership of one of Australia's most promising gold deposits. The number two spot went to AngloGold Ashanti's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AU#NYSE">AU</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/40790433/anglogold-ashanti-to-acquire-centamin-for-2-5b-to-become-fourth-largest-gold-producer" rel="noreferrer noopener">$2.48 billion takeover</a> of Centamin, strengthening its African presence.
In contrast, despite copper's growing popularity, copper-focused M&amp;A was comparatively subdued, with 16 total deals amounting to $5.7 billion. The largest one was Lundin Mining and BHP's joint <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/40031488/bhp-to-unlock-south-american-copper-riches-partners-with-lundin-for-filo-acquisition" rel="noreferrer noopener">$3.03 billion acquisition</a> of Filo Corp. If BHP's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/05/39068033/time-runs-out-for-bhp-deal-49-billion-acquisition-of-anglo-american-proves-too-complex-to-solve" rel="noreferrer noopener">$49 billion bid for </a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/05/39068033/time-runs-out-for-bhp-deal-49-billion-acquisition-of-anglo-american-proves-too-complex-to-solve" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anglo American</a> had succeeded, the situation would have been vastly different.
S&amp;P's report also highlighted that while overall deal value remained stable, the absence of a $10 billion-plus megadeal meant that the average transaction size fell to $428.1 million—the lowest in five years and a 24% decline from 2023.
Large miners like Newmont sold smaller portfolio parts, focusing on top assets. At the same time, intermediate producers sought those assets to pursue margin-boosting synergies and growth necessary to break into the big leagues of producing over 1 million ounces annually.
In 2025, S&amp;P predicts further positive momentum in gold M&amp;A as metal prices bid new highs. The sector has already seen notable activity in early 2025, including Equinox Gold's $1.87 billion bid for Calibre Mining. However, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44394574/the-largest-shareholder-opposes-equinoxs-18-billion-acquisition" rel="noreferrer noopener">opposition from Equinox's top shareholder</a>, Van Eck, raises questions about whether the deal will proceed. Van Eck, who holds significant stakes in both companies, cited a lack of operational synergies as a key concern.
Gold Fields'<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44458684/gruyere-power-struggle-gold-fields-surprise-offer-rejected-countermove-denied" rel="noreferrer noopener"> $2.1 billion offer</a> for Gold Road Resources announced this week was rejected as "opportunistic," with Gold Road arguing it undervalued its assets. The deal would have given Gold Fields full control over the Gruyere gold mine, but Gold Road proposed buying out Gold Fields' stake—a counteroffer that was subsequently rejected.

Robinhood, Roku And Shopify Are Among Top 10 Large-Cap Gainers Last Week (Mar 17-Mar 21): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Anglogold Ashanti's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AU#NYSE">AU</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.81% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.91 million shares sold short, which is 1.09% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Anglogold Ashanti has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Anglogold Ashanti's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Anglogold Ashanti's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.03%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Shares of gold stocks are trading higher amid a drop in the US dollar index.

A high-stakes deal that could have reshaped global supply chains has crumbled. The negotiations between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy were meant to secure a partnership granting the US priority access to Ukraine's vast reserves of critical minerals &#8211; resources vital for military technology, electric vehicles (EVs) and advanced electronics. 
However, the talks unraveled over security concerns and shifting priorities, leaving both nations scrambling for alternatives. Now, the fallout is poised to send ripples through markets, affecting stocks and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs linked to these key industries</a>. Investors should closely monitor the funds and equities most exposed to this disruption.

ETFs In The Spotlight
With the deal off the table, ETFs tracking rare earth minerals, defense and EV industries could see increased volatility:
VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REMX#NYSE">REMX</a>): Holds stocks involved in rare earth mining and processing, sectors now facing renewed uncertainty. Pilbara Minerals Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AU#NYSE">AU</a>) and Arcadium Lithium Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALTM#NYSE">ALTM</a>) are among its top holdings.
Global X Lithium &amp; Battery Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LIT#NYSE">LIT</a>): Focuses on lithium and battery-related companies, which depend on stable mineral supplies. The fund has allocated its assets to companies like Mineral Resources, Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Albemarle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALB#NYSE">ALB</a>).
iShares US Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>): Tracks major defense contractors like Raytheon Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>), Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) and Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>), that may face cost pressures due to supply chain disruptions. 
What Was At Stake?
The abandoned agreement would have given the US <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43968607/trump-negotiates-a-very-big-deal-for-ukraines-mineral-wealth">priority access to Ukraine's reserves of critical minerals</a> essential for military technology, EVs and advanced electronics. In return, Ukraine expected a financial boost, with 50% of state-owned mineral revenues going into an investment fund for economic recovery. However, without US security guarantees, Ukraine hesitated to finalize the deal, ultimately leading to its collapse.
With no agreement in place, both the US and Ukraine face economic and strategic setbacks. The US remains reliant on China for rare earth processing, while Ukraine may now seek alternative partnerships—potentially with China or European nations.

US Defense And Tech Stocks
The US defense and tech industries are major consumers of rare earth minerals. Companies like Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon Technologies rely on these materials for advanced weaponry and aerospace systems. The lack of a stable mineral supply chain outside China could make sourcing components more expensive, potentially affecting these stocks.
Semiconductor giants like NVIDIA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) could also see cost pressures, as rare earth elements are crucial for chip production. If US companies must continue depending on China for processing, it could impact supply chain stability and pricing.
Lithium and rare earth mining companies like MP Materials (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>), which processes rare earths domestically, might see increased interest as the US looks to expand its refining capabilities.
What's Next?
With the US unable to secure a direct supply of Ukrainian minerals for now, Washington may have to fast-track domestic refining projects or seek alternative deals. Meanwhile, Ukraine might turn to European nations or even China to fill the gap. For now, investors should brace for potential market fluctuations in defense, tech and EV sectors.
