Anglogold Ashanti (AU) stock is up 140% in 2025, outperforming the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) by a significant margin. The stock has one of the most generous dividend policies among its peers, and its mammoth 2025 rally is far from over, as we’ll discuss in this article.
To be sure, I have been bullish on gold (GCZ25) – and by extension gold mining companies, which are a leveraged play on gold – for quite some time now. The bullishness has paid off well as both gold and gold mining companies have performed incredibly well this year. Specifically, AU stock has only built on its YTD gains since the last time I covered the company.
