AngloGold Ashanti to Pay $361 Million Interim Dividend
The company will pay 71 U.S. cents per share for the quarter ended September 30, with payment set for December 11.
Updated on Nov. 8, 2026 in Public Companies
AngloGold Ashanti has set December 11 as the payment date for a $361 million interim dividend of 71 U.S. cents per ordinary share. The payout covers the quarter ended September 30 and was declared alongside the company's third-quarter results.
Why it matters
The payout is lower than the 91 cents per share declared for the same period in 2025, reflecting a decline in cash generation. Shareholders on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker AU must hold shares by the November 27 record date to qualify.
Free cash flow fell 22% year-over-year to $722 million from $920 million in the prior-year quarter, while dividends declared through the first three quarters of 2026 total $1.31 billion, or $2.59 per share. The filing does not detail what drove the cash flow decline.

Market Landscape
The 71-cent interim payout is well below the 91 cents declared for the same quarter in 2025, marking a step down in shareholder returns from the company's own prior-year level. Cumulative dividends of $2.59 per share through the first three quarters of 2026 show the company continuing to return capital despite the reduced interim figure.
Shareholders holding AU shares as of the November 27 record date will receive 71 cents per share on December 11, 2026, which is 20 cents less per share than the same-period payout in 2025. Investors planning around dividend income should factor in the lower interim figure when estimating cash receipts.
The takeaway
Dividend income from AngloGold Ashanti is set to be lower this quarter than last year, a shift that tracks the reported decline in free cash flow. Investors relying on interim payouts should watch the next quarterly declaration for signs of whether the reduced level holds.
What happens next
The NYSE ex-dividend and record date falls on November 27, 2026, and the dividend is scheduled for payment on December 11, 2026.
