AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/au#NYSE">AU</a>) could be a solid choice for investors given its recent upgrade to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). This upgrade is essentially a reflection of an upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.
The sole determinant of the Zacks rating is a company&#39;s changing earnings picture. The Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years is tracked by the system.
Individual investors often find it hard to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, since these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. In these situations, the Zacks rating system comes in handy because of the power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements.
As such, the Zacks rating upgrade for AngloGold Ashanti is essentially a positive comment on its earnings outlook that could have a favorable impact on its stock price.
<h2>Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices</h2>
The change in a company&#39;s future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, and the near-term price movement of its stock are proven to be strongly correlated. That&#39;s partly because of the influence of institutional investors that use earnings and earnings estimates for calculating the fair value of a company&#39;s shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their transaction of large amounts of shares then leads to price movement for the stock.
For AngloGold Ashanti, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade fundamentally mean an improvement in the company&#39;s underlying business. And investors&#39; appreciation of this improving business trend should push the stock higher.
<h2>Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate Revisions</h2>
As empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, tracking such revisions for making an investment decision could be truly rewarding. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
<h2>Earnings Estimate Revisions for AngloGold Ashanti</h2>
This gold miner is expected to earn $2.58 per share for the fiscal year ending December 2024, which represents a year-over-year change of 2445.5%.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for AngloGold Ashanti. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 9.1%.
<h2>Bottom Line</h2>
Unlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of &#39;buy&#39; and &#39;sell&#39; ratings for its entire universe of more than 4000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a &#39;Strong Buy&#39; rating and the next 15% get a &#39;Buy&#39; rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.
The upgrade of AngloGold Ashanti to a Zacks Rank #1 positions it in the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

What Makes AngloGold Ashanti a New Strong Buy Stock

Shares of precious metals stocks are trading higher as gold and silver rise after the Fed on Wednesday cut rates by 50 basis points.

Shares of gold stocks are trading higher in sympathy with overall market sentiment after the Fed policy decision to cut rates by 50 basis points.

AngloGold Ashanti shares are trading lower after the company announced it will acquire Centamin for $2.5 billion.

AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AU#NYSE">AU</a>) has announced an intent to acquire Centamin (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CELTF#OTC">CELTF</a>) in an all-share deal valued at $2.5 billion. The combined entity will be the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-largest gold producer</a> globally.
"This transaction will add a Tier 1 asset to our portfolio and is accretive from day one," <a target="_blank" href="https://www.anglogoldashanti.com/investors/centamin-offer/" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> AngloGold CEO Alberto Calderon. The acquisition focuses on Centamin's flagship asset, the Sukari gold mine, located in Egypt.
The Sukari mine is considered a Tier 1 asset, having produced over 5.9 million ounces of gold since its launch in 2009. It has a consistent output and low-cost structure with all-in-sustaining costs at $1,290 per ounce.
The mine is also known for its long life, with reserves estimated to last another 20 years, ensuring both companies' ongoing production and financial stability.
Now read:<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40775207/canada-nickel-receives-500m-loan-interest-from-government-agency-for-ontario-project" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Canada Nickel Receives $500M Loan Interest From Government Agency For Ontario Project</a>
Per the deal's terms, Centamin shareholders will receive 0.06983 of a new AngloGold share and $0.125 in cash for each Centamin share, implying a 163 pence ($2.14) per share offer. This represents a 36.7% premium to Centamin's closing price of 120 pence before the announcement.
The transaction is valued at 2.5 billion, and following completion, Centamin shareholders will hold 16.4% of the enlarged AngloGold Ashanti. AngloGold also expects the deal to be free cash flow accretive in its first full year and net asset value accretive immediately, further boosting its financial performance.
The acquisition adds Sukari's 450,000 annual gold ounces to AngloGold's output, pushing its production above 3 million ounces annually. By adding a Tier 1 mine in yet another jurisdiction and enhancing its position on the market, AngloGold is joining the ranks of top diversified gold producers like Newmont, Barrick, and Agnico Eagle.
Centamin shareholders will benefit from an upfront cash return and the opportunity to participate in a larger, more diversified gold producer with increased trading liquidity. The deal's predominantly equity-based structure also ensures balance sheet stability for AngloGold as it continues to fund its growth plans.
Centamin's board has expressed unanimous support for the transaction, with directors committing to recommend the deal to shareholders. Subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, the acquisition is expected to be finalized in the coming months.

Shares of metal companies are trading lower amid a drop in price and a report of weak demand in China.

Shares of AngloGold Ashanti PLC (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/au#NYSE">AU</a>) scaled a new 52-week high of $32.34 on Aug 20 before ending the session lower at $32.09. The upside was fueled by a spike in gold prices.
AngloGold Ashanti has a market capitalization of $13.5 billion and currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Shares of the company have gained 71.7% year to date, outpacing the industry&#39;s 28.9% growth and the S&amp;P 500&#39;s 17.7% rise. Meanwhile, the Basic Materials sector has declined 4.2% in the same time frame.

<h3>What&#39;s Driving the Stock?</h3>
Solid H1 Results: AngloGold Ashanti&#39;s shares have gained 15% since the company reported strong first-half fiscal 2024 results on Aug 6. Adjusted earnings per share were 74 cents, a 429% improvement from 14 cents in the prior year&#39;s comparable period.&nbsp;
The substantial increase in earnings was attributed to increased gold sales, higher average gold prices and lower operating costs. Earnings also benefited from higher equity earnings from joint ventures, an increase in finance income and lower foreign exchange losses, which were partly offset by higher losses on non-hedge derivatives, rising corporate and operating expenses and increased taxation.&nbsp;
The company witnessed a significant turnaround in its Brazil operations, which also contributed to the year-over-year gain in cash flow and earnings. Last year, it&nbsp; had taken steps to restructure the business in Brazil after a sustained period of losses, which led to the improvement.&nbsp;
Gold production rose 2% year over year to 1.25 million ounces, aided by improvement at AngloGold Ashanti Minera&ccedil;&atilde;o, Serra Grande, Iduapriem, Geita and Kibali. Revenues were up 16.7% year over year to $2.55 billion.
Total cash costs per ounce decreased 1% year over year to $1,158 in the first half from $1,169 in the same period last year. This was mainly aided by improved operational performance and enhanced cost efficiency linked to the company&#39;s Full Asset Potential initiatives.
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization increased 65% year over year in the first half to $1.118 billion. Free cash flow was an inflow of $206 million against an outflow of $205 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal. This increase was mainly due to the turnaround in the Brazil operations, a higher average gold price received per ounce and loan repayments from Kibali, partially offset by higher capital expenditure and increased cash taxes.
Following the upbeat results, the company also declared an interim dividend of 22 cents a share.
Upbeat Outlook: AngloGold Ashanti maintained its gold production guidance for 2024 in the range of 2.65 &ndash; 2.85 million ounces. The midpoint of the guidance indicates growth of approximately 4% from 2023. The increase will be led by the ramp-up at Obuasi and Siguiri, where AngloGold Ashanti expects year-over-year recovery following the 2023 carbon-in-leach tank failure. Total cash costs are projected to be between $1,075 and&nbsp; 1,175 per ounce. &nbsp;
For 2025, gold production is expected to be in the range of 2.71-2.91 million ounces, which indicates 2% year-over-year growth. This will be driven primarily by the expected continued ramp-up at Obuasi and modest gains across multiple mines. The company expects total cash costs per ounce to be in the range of $1,050 - $1,150. Gains from the Full Asset Potential initiative and gold production efficiencies are anticipated to lower unit costs.
Rally in Gold Prices: Gold prices have gained 21.8% so far in 2024, surpassing the performance of most major asset classes. Several factors have contributed to this solid performance in 2024, including increased geopolitical tensions, the potential for monetary policy easing and continuous purchasing by central banks. The yellow metal is currently at around $2,510 per ounce supported by increasing bets on U.S interest rate cuts.
<h3>Stocks to Consider</h3>
Some better-ranked stocks from the basic materials space are Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crs#NYSE">CRS</a>), IAMGOLD Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/iag#NYSE">IAG</a>) and Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nem#NYSE">NEM</a>). Each of these stocks sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) at present.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Carpenter Technology&#39;s fiscal 2025 earnings is pegged at $6.06 per share, which indicates a 27.85% increase from fiscal 2024. The consensus estimate for earnings has moved 17% north in the past 60 days. It has an average trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 15.9%. CRS shares have gained 99.9% year to date.
