Allied Gold Announces Preliminary Q4 2025 Operating Results, 2026 Guidance and MRMR Update; Special Meeting Set for March 31
TORONTO, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allied Gold Corporation (TSX: AAUC, NYSE: AAUC) (“Allied” or the “Company”) herein provides its preliminary operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, alongside the Company’s 2026 operating guidance and updates to its Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources. The Company produced 117,004 ounces of gold in the fourth quarter and 379,081 ounces for the full-year 2025. Performance was in line with expectations and operating plans, exceeding Q4 guidance and delivering solid momentum heading into 2026. All-in Sustaining Costs (“AISC”)(1) for the quarter improved from the previous period and are estimated at $1,980 per ounce sold, which, together with higher realized gold prices, led to increased margins and cash flows. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash balances were approximately $480 million. Allied successfully replaced mining depletion and added new ounces to its inventory, resulting in a net increase to its Mineral Reserves. The Company remains focused on extending the mine life and increasing mineral inventories at Agbaou, Bonikro, and Kurmuk, and increasing oxide mineral inventory at Sadiola to enhance operational flexibility. Highlights Fourth Quarter Gold Production: The Company produced 117,004 ounces of gold in the fourth quarter, bringing total production for 2025 to 379,081 ounces, exceeding the Company’s annual production guidance of above 375,000 ounces. Gold production for the fourth quarter was the highest of the year and was driven mainly by higher grades and increased ore output across all operations. 2026 Guidance: The Company expects to produce between 385,000 and 425,000 ounces of gold in 2026 from its currently producing mines, and between 100,000 and 150,000 ounces of gold from the Kurmuk Project, which is expected to begin production in mid-2026. The range is driven by different ramp-up scenarios. The lower end represents a conservative case that assumes stable grid power is achieved in late Q3 (as opposed to mid-Q2), reflecting exogenous factors outside the Company’s control. The power utility remains committed to providing sufficient, stable power by mid-Q2; accordingly, the Company’s objective is to deliver production closer to the midpoint or higher end of the range. Total production guidance, including contributions from Kurmuk, is expected to be 485,000 to 57...

Zacks
4 High Earnings Yield Value Stocks to Own Amid Market Uncertainty
U.S. equities ended 2025 on a strong note, with the S&P 500 rising about 16%, but the outlook is turning complex. Geopolitical risks are back in focus after President Donald Trump announced temporary U.S. control over Venezuela, raising concerns about instability in a key oil-producing nation. At the same time, investors are bracing for policy uncertainty, including a Supreme Court ruling on Trump’s tariffs and the appointment of a new Federal Reserve chair. With earnings season approaching and key employment data due later this week, volatility could increase. While the Fed cut rates three times in 2025 to support a weakening labor market, inflation remains above target, leaving the path for 2026 policy uncertain. In an environment shaped by policy uncertainty, geopolitical risk and unclear rate direction, value investing offers stability. Investors should focus on companies with strong fundamentals, reasonable valuations and durable cash flows, which can help investors manage volatility better. One of the most common valuation metrics to pick undervalued stocks with solid upside potential is the P/E ratio. However, there’s another interesting ratio that you can consider for ferreting out attractively valued stocks. And that is earnings yield. One could invest in high earnings yield stocks like Allied Gold Corporation AAUC, Alcoa Corp. AA, Star Bulk Carriers SBLK and PHINIA Inc. PHIN to fetch handsome long-term rewards. Earnings yield is useful for investors concerned about the rate of return on investment. This metric, expressed in percentage, is calculated as annual earnings per share (EPS) divided by market price. This metric measures the anticipated yield (or return) from earnings for each dollar invested in a stock today. While comparing stocks, if other factors are similar, the ones with higher earnings yield are considered undervalued, while those with lower earnings yield are seen as overpriced. While earnings yield is nothing but the reciprocal of the P/E ratio, it is a little more illuminating than the traditional P/E ratio, as it also facilitates the comparison of stocks with fixed-income securities. Investors often compare the earnings yield of a stock to the prevailing interest rates, such as the current 10-year Treasury yield, to get a sense of the return on investment it offers compared to virtually risk-free returns. If the yield on a stock...

Zacks
4 Value Plays With High Earnings Yield and Upside Potential
Value investing is a time-tested strategy that focuses on finding assets trading for less than their intrinsic value, allowing investors to buy such undervalued assets at a discount. This approach hinges on the idea that market prices often don’t fully reflect a company’s fundamentals, providing opportunities to benefit from market corrections in the long run. A key metric for value investors is earnings yield, which offers insight into a stock’s profitability relative to its market price. Earnings yield is calculated by dividing a company’s earnings per share (EPS) by its current stock price (Earnings Yield = EPS / Current Stock Price). This figure represents the profit generated for each dollar invested, effectively serving as the inverse of the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. A higher earnings yield typically indicates that a stock may be undervalued and could provide growth potential, while a lower earnings yield could suggest overvaluation. Commercial Metals Company CMC, Allied Gold Corporation AAUC, LATAM Airlines LTM and CommScope Holding Company, Inc. COMM are a few solid high earnings yield picks for value investors. Beyond identifying individual stocks, earnings yield also aids in comparing the stock market to fixed-income investments, like 10-year Treasury bonds. If the earnings yield of a market index surpasses the bond yield, it can indicate favorable conditions for investing in stocks over bonds, which is valuable for portfolio diversification. We have set an Earnings Yield greater than 10% as our primary screening criterion but it alone cannot be used for picking stocks that have the potential to generate solid returns. So, we have added the following parameters to the screen: Estimated EPS growth for the next 12 months greater than or equal to the S&P 500: This metric compares the 12-month forward EPS estimate with the 12-month actual EPS. Average Daily Volume (20 Day) greater than or equal to 100,000: High trading volume implies that a stock has adequate liquidity. Current Price greater than or equal to $5. Buy-Rated Stocks: Stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) have been known to outperform peers in any type of market environment. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here. Here we discuss four of the 36 stocks that qualified the screening: Commercial Metals manufactures, recycles and markets steel and m...

Allied Gold Corporation (TSE:AAUC) Just Released Its Third-Quarter Results And Analysts Are Updating Their Estimates
As you might know, Allied Gold Corporation (TSE:AAUC) recently reported its quarterly numbers. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Allied Gold from three analysts is for revenues of US$1.85b in 2026. If met, it would imply a major 72% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Allied Gold is also expected to turn profitable, with statutory earnings of US$5.04 per share. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of US$1.82b and earnings per share (EPS) of US$4.11 in 2026. Although the revenue estimates have not really changed, we can see there's been a massive increase in earnings per share expectations, suggesting that the analysts have become more bullish after the latest result. See our latest analysis for Allied Gold There's been no major changes to the consensus price target of CA$39.16, suggesting that the improved earnings per share outlook is not enough to have a long-term positive impact on the stock's valuation. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. The most optimistic Allied Gold analyst has a price target of CA$46.05 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at CA$34.77. As you can see, analysts are not all in agreement on the stock's future, but the range of estimates is still reasonably narrow, which could suggest that the outcome is not totally unpredictable. These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Allied Gold's past performance and to peers in the same industry. The analysts are definitely expecting Allied Gold's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 54% annualised growth to the end of 2026 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 21% per annum over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage...
