Why Harmony Gold Stock Is Soaring Today
Shares of Harmony Gold (NYSE: HMY) rallied 10% by 2:30 p.m. EST on Wednesday. Driving up the gold mining stock was a deal to acquire AngloGold Ashanti's (NYSE: AU) remaining assets in South Africa.
AngloGold Ashanti agreed to sell its South African assets to Harmony Gold. It will pay $200 million upon closing the transaction, along with two potential deferred payments. The sale will enable AngloGold Ashanti to shrink its portfolio so that it can focus on its highest-return assets.
