A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Top 10 scores & list membership
AU is not currently in any published Top 10 list. Its scores are below.
Long-term score
80.4 #3 of 1,605 scored · #1 of 78 in Materials
Profitability 93rd (operating margin 48.6%, return on equity 45.8%) and growth 88th (3-year revenue CAGR 30%, revenue growth year over year 29.4%); weakest is valuation (59th, price to book 5.4, price to earnings 16.1). Scored on 5 of 6 pillars — it pays a dividend, but its filings carry no per-share series to count increases from; no annual share count in its filings.
Short-term score
45.0 #976 of 1,698 scored · #46 of 83 in Materials
Volume and participation 91st: trading volume is about normal versus its 30-day average; trend 75th: it is trading 38.2% above its 50-day average, the short-term trend line; weakest is setup 28th: day-to-day price swings are unusually wide versus its own recent history (wider than about 98% of the past ~6 months). Its score is docked 10 points for overextended (RSI above 75 or stochastic above 90). Its short interest was not measured, so no short-interest deduction applies.
Scores as of 24 Aug 2026. Each bar is a percentile: how this company ranked against every company the score ranked, 0–100. A list is a published formula and its output, not a recommendation. Method version 3.
Dividend coverage
Not assessed — last reported dividend predates the accounts. The most recent fiscal year in which AU reported a dividend payment is FY2024, while its reported financial statements run through FY2025. Coverage is therefore not assessed for the latest year — an FY2024 ratio would not describe AU today.
Coverage is derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures, comparing dividends paid against net income and free cash flow for the SAME fiscal year. It is not shown here because the latest fiscal year with a reported dividend payment (FY2024) is older than the latest year of reported financial statements (FY2025), so any ratio would describe an out-of-date year. Informational only — not financial advice.
How AngloGold Ashanti looks technically
AngloGold Ashanti (AU) is trading 29.2% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 31 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A strong uptrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 28, with buyers in control. Momentum is stretched — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 80, in overbought territory (above 70). It made a new 20-day high about 2 trading days ago.

| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $93.22 | $93.22 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been lower than the one before it and each dip deeper — the pattern chart-watchers call a downtrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | lower highs and lower lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 24 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 24 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a completed three-part downward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes below 73.41. It is the only labelling that fits, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible three-wave downward correction, complete |

| Above the 200-day after a dip | it recently dipped to its 200-day average (the long-term trend line) and has since climbed back above it — now about 29.2% above | +29.2% |

| 14-day RSI | momentum is stretched — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 80, in overbought territory (above 70) | 79.6 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading right at the top of its 14-day range ($86.47 to $121.86) — its "stochastic" reading is 96 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 96.1 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in positive territory (momentum leaning bullish) | 24 sessions |

| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($52.15 to $128.26), and it has given back only a small part of its rise from last year’s low — 10% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $78.79 to $81.22. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 10.2% |
| From the all-time high | it is 6.7% below its all-time high | -6.7% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 6.5% above a support level at $112.58 — a price it turned at twice since 2026-04-08, most recently on 2026-05-11. Since 2024-08-26 it has 15 such levels below the current price and 0 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -6.5% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $5.64 (set on 2015-08-05) | $5.64 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 2036.0% above its all-time low | +2,036% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are unusually wide versus its own recent history (wider than about 98% of the past ~6 months) | 98th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $4.83 between its high and its low — about 4.0% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $4.83 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $69.00 and $121.09 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $69.00 – $95.04 – $121.09 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 4.0% in a typical session — about typical for the companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 4.0% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 5.6 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (29.2% above it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 5.6 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

Price gaps

| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-24 0.6% below the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | -0.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 5.7% above the previous close 3 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 97.95 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +5.7% |
| Gap filled | a 2.8% gap down opened on 2026-08-13 has been "filled" 5 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 2 sessions to close | 5 sessions ago |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a strong uptrend, with buyers in control, trading above its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day high, MACD momentum is positive, trading above the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 4 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day, its RSI momentum gauge is overbought (a stretched reading), lagging the market over 6 months, near the top of its 14-day range (overbought) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 4 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 29% above the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-07-17 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established uptrend, with the band below acting as the level that would have to give way. The band itself is thick, spanning 8.8% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross. | +29.2% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
1
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 25% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $96.54 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 158 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +24.8% |

Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a three-part downward correction — the A-B-C shape chartists use for a pullback — now complete.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes below $73.41.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.
This labelling was already in place when we began recording count changes on 2026-08-13, so how long it has stood is not something we can say yet.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-08-24.

Short interest (FINRA)
AU had 5,507,988 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for AU because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.
- Reported short interest (shares) 5,507,988
- Prior settlement (shares) 5,618,260
- Reported change -1.96%
- Days to cover (reported) 2.11
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-07-31 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
