The Week

Almonty Industries fell 2.61% on the week to close at $17.57, while the S&P 500 edged up 0.09%, leaving the stock about 2.7 percentage points behind. The week was choppy: it opened Monday at $18.19 and touched $18.395 before fading, slid to $16.62 on Wednesday, then settled into a $17.05–$17.93 range over the final two sessions. Daily volume averaged 6.78 million shares, roughly 16% above the median. Weekend amplitude came in at 9.76%.

Key Events

The week’s news centred on tungsten and capital moves. On Monday, Almonty said its US tungsten scrap export licensing targets sales to China rather than domestic processing flows. On Tuesday, commentary highlighted how the US$300 million buyback plan has changed the investment story, and brokerages gave Almonty Industries (ALM) a consensus ‘buy’ rating. From Thursday onward, several mining stock screens mentioned the company, with attention on the potential read-through from the US tungsten shortage and Almonty’s growing exposure as a tungsten-related name. Overall, the flow was more sector-driven than company-specific, with the export-licensing clarification and the buyback plan as the main company-level items.

Analyst Ratings

Ten firms cover the stock: nine rate it buy and one has no opinion, with no hold or sell ratings. The consensus recommendation is strong buy, and the consensus target of $25.98 sits about 47.8% above the latest price of $17.57. Targets span from $19.972 to $33.079, with the gap concentrated at the top end. Within the diversified metals and mining industry, Almonty ranks 6th out of 62 names.

The Week Ahead

The US macro calendar is busy: NFIB small business optimism lands on Tuesday 8 September, followed on Thursday 10 September by initial jobless claims, PPI and core PPI, the 10-year Treasury auction, existing home sales and wholesale sales. Mining equities tend to be sensitive to rates and inflation expectations, so these prints could shift sector risk appetite. On the company side there is no firm earnings or event calendar yet; the tungsten export-licensing discussion looks like the thread to keep tracking.

In Short

The tension this week sits between a still-strong sell-side view and a softer tape. The consensus remains strong buy with a target about 47.8% above spot, and the industry ranking is relatively high, yet the stock lost 2.61% on the week and trailed the S&P 500 by roughly 2.7 points while valuations stay stretched at about 12.75x book and 64.19x earnings. What to watch next is whether the macro prints shift sentiment across mining, and whether the tungsten export and buyback narratives turn into clearer marginal changes.
