<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Anglogold Ashanti has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Anglogold Ashanti's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Anglogold Ashanti's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.70%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/au#NYSE">AU</a>) could be a solid choice for investors given its recent upgrade to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). This upgrade is essentially a reflection of an upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.
The sole determinant of the Zacks rating is a company&#39;s changing earnings picture. The Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years is tracked by the system.
Individual investors often find it hard to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, since these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. In these situations, the Zacks rating system comes in handy because of the power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements.
As such, the Zacks rating upgrade for AngloGold Ashanti is essentially a positive comment on its earnings outlook that could have a favorable impact on its stock price.
<h2>Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices</h2>
The change in a company&#39;s future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, and the near-term price movement of its stock are proven to be strongly correlated. That&#39;s partly because of the influence of institutional investors that use earnings and earnings estimates for calculating the fair value of a company&#39;s shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their transaction of large amounts of shares then leads to price movement for the stock.
For AngloGold Ashanti, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade fundamentally mean an improvement in the company&#39;s underlying business. And investors&#39; appreciation of this improving business trend should push the stock higher.
<h2>Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate Revisions</h2>
As empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, tracking such revisions for making an investment decision could be truly rewarding. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
<h2>Earnings Estimate Revisions for AngloGold Ashanti</h2>
This gold miner is expected to earn $2.58 per share for the fiscal year ending December 2024, which represents a year-over-year change of 2445.5%.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for AngloGold Ashanti. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 9.1%.
<h2>Bottom Line</h2>
Unlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of &#39;buy&#39; and &#39;sell&#39; ratings for its entire universe of more than 4000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a &#39;Strong Buy&#39; rating and the next 15% get a &#39;Buy&#39; rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.
The upgrade of AngloGold Ashanti to a Zacks Rank #1 positions it in the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

What Makes AngloGold Ashanti a New Strong Buy Stock

Shares of precious metals stocks are trading higher as gold and silver rise after the Fed on Wednesday cut rates by 50 basis points.

Shares of gold stocks are trading higher in sympathy with overall market sentiment after the Fed policy decision to cut rates by 50 basis points.

As market uncertainty escalates due to geopolitical tensions and economic instability, gold continues to shine as a reliable safe haven asset. With increasing industrial demand and expectations for price appreciation, investing in gold stocks, AngloGold Ashanti (AU), Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM), and Barrick Gold (GOLD) could provide a strategic safeguard. Read on… Gold has a longstanding reputation as a safe haven asset. As market volatility increases and industrial demand grows, gold continues to be viewed as a secure investment option, leading to expectations of further price appreciation.
That said, investing in gold stocks, AngloGold Ashanti plc (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AU/">AU</a>), Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AEM/">AEM</a>) and Barrick Gold Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/GOLD/">GOLD</a>), could offer significant advantages. These companies' resilience amid market fluctuations positions them well to capitalize on gold's rising value.
As the election season heats up, it's anticipated that the markets will experience heightened uncertainty, a phenomenon that usually accompanies Presidential election cycles. This year, however, experts expect a degree of market volatility unseen <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonschenker/2024/10/14/us-presidential-election-outcome-uncertainty-could-roil-markets/">since the year 2000</a>, adding weight to the economic climate's unpredictability.
Further fueling this uncertain environment are the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and the Ukraine-Russia crisis. The geopolitical tensions are injecting instability into global markets, intensifying concerns for investors. However, during periods of economic uncertainty, investors traditionally flock to gold, prized for its historical resilience.
Gold serves as <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0311/what-drives-the-price-of-gold.aspx#:~:text=Gold%20is%20often%20considered%20a%20safe%20haven%20for,against%20economic%20events%20like%20currency%20devaluation%20or%20inflation.">a "safe haven" asset</a>, offering financial security when other investments falter. For many, it remains a preferred safeguard amid political upheaval and economic instability. This sentiment has driven gold's exceptional performance in 2024, with prices reaching unprecedented levels.
In March, the price per ounce surged to $2,160, an 8% increase from December 2023. This upward trajectory marked the beginning of gold's remarkable rally, fueled by strong investor demand and market fears. The trend continued through the year, with gold setting record highs almost monthly.
The price now hovers <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/gold-prices-are-closing-in-on-2-800-should-you-buy-in-now/ar-AA1sFcnR?ocid=BingNewsVerp">near $2,800 per ounce</a>, a testament to the commodity's enduring allure. Many analysts expect this rally to extend further, with predictions that gold could reach $3,000 per ounce by year's end.
Gold's value isn't solely anchored in its role as a safe investment. Increasingly, it's used across industries such as electronics and healthcare, where technological advancements rely on gold's unique properties. This surge in industrial demand promises further price support, cementing gold's role as a versatile asset.
Given these trends, let's dive deep into the fundamentals of three <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/gold-miners/">Miners – Gold</a> stocks, beginning with #3.
