• In August 2026, Almonty Industries Inc. announced Board approval for a share repurchase program of up to 14,400,000 shares, or about 5% of its issued capital, for US$300 million running through August 24, 2029, following a sharp year-on-year swing from losses to profits in its second-quarter and half-year results.
• The company framed the buyback as a way to address what it sees as a disconnect between its market price and the value of its tungsten assets, particularly as its Sangdong mine ramps up processing to support demand linked to AI-related applications.
• We’ll now examine how this sizable buyback authorization, against the backdrop of improved earnings, shapes Almonty’s broader investment narrative.

What Is Almonty Industries' Investment Narrative?

To own Almonty Industries today, you have to buy into a tungsten story increasingly anchored on Sangdong moving from ramp up to reliable cash generation, and on management’s ability to turn recent earnings into something repeatable. The new US$300 million buyback authorization, covering up to 5% of the float over three years, adds a fresh wrinkle: it potentially tightens the share count and signals that the board disagrees with how the market prices its tungsten assets, even though the stock already screens expensive on earnings multiples after a very large multi year run. Near term, the real catalysts still sit with operational delivery at Sangdong, execution on the expanded offtake and inclusion in major indices, while key risks now include high expectations embedded in the valuation and the possibility that the buyback competes with growth capital if conditions change.

However, one risk in particular could matter more than the headline buyback itself. Almonty Industries' shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued. Find out how large the opportunity might be.
