Why ALM stock is down today
Almonty Industries Inc stock fell 8.26% to $12.50 in afternoon trading as Goldman Sachs initiated a Neutral rating on the stock. The move reflects the firm's expectation that tungsten prices will normalize and that the ramp-up at the Sangdong mine in South Korea will be more gradual than currently anticipated by the market.
What Happened
Goldman Sachs issued a Neutral rating on Almonty Industries, signaling that the company's valuation already reflects its potential. The firm anticipates a slower production ramp-up at the Sangdong mine than what the market is currently pricing in. This assessment has led to a significant decline in the stock price as investors reassess the company's near-term outlook.
In addition, Almonty recently received mining site inspection certificates for its processing plant and crushing facilities at the Sangdong mine. The company also announced a take-or-pay tungsten concentrate supply agreement with Sandvik's Wolfram Bergbau und Hütten, which includes a conditional $3 million upfront payment for offtake rights. Meanwhile, the government of Rwanda will receive a 25% interest in Almonty Rwanda in exchange for contributing the Shyorongi tungsten exploration concession and mineral processing license.
What The Data Shows
The stock opened at $13.55, a 0.5% gap down from the previous close, and reached a session high of $13.56 before falling to a low of $12.43. Trading volume stood at 3.9 million shares, or 0.6 times the 3-month daily average. The stock has declined 9.8% over the last 8 sessions, from $14.04 to $12.67. The 52-week range is $5.25 to $24.41, and the stock printed 16 fresh 52-week lows on September 24, 2026.
What To Watch
The stock is currently trading near the lower end of its 52-week range. Investors should monitor any follow-up analyst commentary or developments at the Sangdong mine for potential catalysts.
