AngloGold Ashanti plc dividend investors are looking at a gold mining company with operations across Africa, Australia, and the Americas, anchored by the 100%-owned Geita mine in Tanzania. AU currently yields 4.14%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $4.52 per share. The next ex-dividend date is August 21, 2026. With a beta of 0.75, AU stock moves less than the broader market, which appeals to income-focused investors who want gold exposure without extreme price swings.
AngloGold Ashanti plc pays out 80.9% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as high (above 75%). That level leaves limited buffer if gold prices fall or production costs rise at operations like the Geita mine. AngloGold Ashanti plc dividend safety is further complicated by a history that includes year-over-year declines, meaning the payout has not been immune to pressure when business conditions shift.
AngloGold Ashanti plc dividend history shows a CAGR of 2.5% per year from 1999 to 2025. Per-share, that translates from $1.3250 to $2.5250 over the full window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 515.9% in 2025, which reflects a dramatic single-year jump rather than a pattern of steady annual raises.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Year | +16.3% | $0.56 (2012) | $2.52 (2025) |
AU stock fits income-focused investors who want high current yield from a gold mining business and can accept meaningful payout risk. The yield of 4.14% is classified as high (above 4%), and it sits well above the 5-year average yield of 0.74%, which shows how much the income profile has shifted in recent years. The payout ratio of 80.9% means most earnings flow to the dividend, leaving little room for error if gold revenues soften. Two consecutive years of dividend increases is a short streak, and the history includes prior cuts. The trade-off is straightforward: elevated current income against a payout structure that has limited cushion.
