Allied Gold Corp (AAUC) fell 18.10% to $17.05 in the session, driven by the termination of its arrangement agreement with Zijin Gold. The company announced that the previously planned $4 billion takeover deal with the Chinese firm had collapsed. Instead, Zijin Gold agreed to a $295 million strategic investment in Allied Gold.
Allied Gold announced on July 29, 2026, that the arrangement agreement with Zijin Gold was terminated. The termination followed a determination that there was no reasonable likelihood of completing the original deal. In its place, Zijin Gold agreed to purchase approximately 12.8 million shares of Allied Gold at C$32.55 per share. This strategic investment is expected to provide Allied Gold with capital but does not include a full acquisition. The news led to a sharp sell-off in the stock, with the price dropping from the session high of $20.80 to a low of $16.90 within two and a half hours of the market opening.
The termination of the merger agreement had been previously approved by Allied Gold shareholders. The deal had received Canadian investment approval and key regulatory clearances, but it ultimately failed to proceed. The company reported preliminary second-quarter operating results showing 97,429 ounces of gold production, up 7% year over year. Despite this, the stock reacted negatively to the revised terms of the Zijin Gold agreement.
The stock opened at $20.80 and quickly declined, reaching a session low of $16.90. At the close of the session, it was trading at $17.05 with a volume of 0.8 million shares, which is 1.2 times the 3-month average. The stock has traded between $11.40 and $32.20 over the past 52 weeks. Allied Gold has a market cap of $2.6 billion and is unprofitable, with a trailing twelve-month (TTM) earnings per share (EPS) of -1.06. Revenue has increased by 53.0% TTM, but the company still reports a net margin of -9.1%.
Allied Gold is scheduled to report its full second-quarter earnings results in the coming weeks. Investors will be watching for further details on the strategic investment from Zijin Gold and how the company plans to deploy the capital. Coverage breadth and analyst reactions will also be key indicators of the stock’s potential recovery.
