AngloGold Ashanti plc dividend investors are looking at a gold miner with operations across Africa, Australia, and the Americas, anchored by the 100%-owned Geita mine in Tanzania. The current yield stands at 4.8%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $4.52 per share. AU pays annually, with the next ex-dividend date set for August 21, 2026. A beta of 0.744 means AU stock moves less than the broader market, which suits income-focused investors who want gold exposure without the full volatility of the sector.
AngloGold Ashanti plc pays out 61.7% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as elevated (60–75%). That level leaves a meaningful buffer above the dividend, but it does not leave much room for error if gold prices weaken and earnings compress. AngloGold Ashanti plc dividend safety is further complicated by the company's history of year-over-year declines in the data window, which shows the payout has been cut before when conditions deteriorated.
AngloGold Ashanti plc dividend history shows a CAGR of 2.5% per year from 1999 to 2025. Per-share, that translates to growth from $1.3250 to $2.5250 over the full window (2026 data is partial 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 compounding. Growth is slow on a long-run basis, and the history includes multiple years of decline.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-Year | +16.3% | $0.56 (2012) | $2.52 (2025) |
AU stock fits income-focused investors who want meaningful yield from a gold mining business and can accept dividend variability. The current yield of 4.8% is classified as high (above 4%), and it sits well above the 5-year average yield of 1.71%, which means today's yield is historically elevated for this stock. The trade-off is real: the payout ratio sits at 61.7%, the long-run CAGR is just 2.5%, and the history contains cuts. What an investor gets is a high current yield from a globally diversified gold miner. What they accept is a dividend that has moved sharply in both directions over time.
