Why ALM stock is up today
Almonty Industries Inc. stock rose 9.25% to $15.12 in early trading on Friday, driven by the company's announcement that it received final regulatory approval to commercially operate its processing plant and crushing facilities at the Sangdong tungsten mine in South Korea. The certification enables the company to begin invoicing and shipping tungsten from Phase I of the project, marking a key milestone in the mine's development.
What Happened
The company confirmed it has secured the final mining facility inspection certificates for the Sangdong processing plant and crushing facilities. This regulatory clearance allows Almonty to transition from construction to commercial production, a step expected to significantly increase revenue potential. The Global Tungsten & Powders deal, which spans 21 years from the first delivery, includes 4.41 million metric tonne units, with a minimum of 210,000 MTU after ramp-up. The certification also supports the company's broader strategic goals and operational capacity.
What The Data Shows
Intraday, the stock opened at $14.38, a 3.9% gap up from the prior close of $13.84. It reached a session high of $15.19 at 9:35 AM ET before settling at $15.12. The volume of 0.5 million shares is 0.1 times the 3-month daily average. The stock has moved -9.6% over the last 8 sessions, from $16.57 to $14.98. On September 21, 2026, the stock printed five fresh 52-week highs. The stock has a market cap of $4.0B, a P/E of 48.4, and a 52-week range of $4.76 to $24.41.
