Almonty Industries Inc. (AII:TSX; ALM:NASDAQ; ALL:ASX; ALI:Frankfurt) completed Phase 1 commissioning at its flagship Sangdong tungsten mine in South Korea, with tungsten prices hitting all-time highs above US$2,000/tonne, stated an Alliance Global research note.

On March 20, 2026, Jake Sekelsky of Alliance Global Partners (A.G.P.) published a company update on Almonty Industries Inc. (AII:TSX; ALM:NASDAQ; ALL:ASX; ALI:Frankfurt), reiterating a Buy rating and increasing the price target to US$19.25 from US$14.00 per share.

The increased price target is driven primarily by a revision to the firm's long-term tungsten price deck to US$1,000/MTU from US$850/MTU, which the analyst notes remains well below spot APT prices of above US$2,000/tonne.

The valuation is based on a net asset value (NAV) analysis of ALM's Sangdong, Panasqueira, and Korea moly deposit assets using an 8% discount rate.

2025 Financial Results

ALM reported full-year 2025 revenue of CA$32.5 million, coming in below the firm's estimate of CA$41.5 million. The shortfall was attributed primarily to lower-than-expected fourth-quarter sales volumes at the company's Panasqueira tungsten mine in Portugal.

On an earnings basis, ALM posted a full-year 2025 EPS loss of CA$(0.78). Despite the soft results, Sekelsky characterizes the 2025 figures as "less meaningful relative to our bullish stance on ALM going forward," given the transformational catalysts on the horizon.

Sangdong Mine: The Primary Growth Engine

The report highlights the completion of Phase 1 commissioning at ALM's flagship Sangdong tungsten mine in South Korea, which the analyst describes as one of the largest and highest-grade tungsten mines in the world. During late Q4 2025, ALM announced delivery of the first truckload of run-of-mine (RoM) ore at Sangdong, marking the official transition from development to active mining.

Phase 1 commissioning was completed earlier this week. The analyst expects a ramp-up to Phase 1 capacity of 2,300 tonnes per annum (tpa) of tungsten concentrate in the coming quarters, which should drive increased cash flow levels in the second half of 2026. Phase 2 expansion at Sangdong is expected to come online next year, effectively doubling production capacity to 4,600 tpa. The report notes that this represents approximately 40% of worldwide tungsten production outside of China. Overall, Sangdong is expected to pave the way for an approximate fourfold increase in ALM's consolidated production profile.

Gunteng Browns Project in Montana

With Sangdong construction and development now complete and tungsten prices reaching fresh all-time highs, management is expected to advance the recently acquired Gunteng Browns tungsten project in Montana toward production.

The analyst expects ALM to leverage its proven expertise in tungsten processing and project development with the goal of restarting production at the mine by the end of 2026 at an initial throughput capacity of 140,000 tpa. While this throughput is significantly below Sangdong's Phase 1 capacity of 640,000 tonnes, the report emphasizes that establishing tungsten production in the United States is crucial for securing America's critical minerals supply chain.

Updated Estimates

The firm has significantly raised its forward estimates for ALM. For fiscal 2026, revenue is now estimated at CA$297 million (up from the prior estimate of CA$203 million), with EPS projected at CA$0.47 (previously CA$0.26). For fiscal 2027, the firm forecasts revenue of CA$593 million (up from CA$336 million) and EPS of CA$0.91 (up from CA$0.47). On a quarterly basis for 2026, revenue estimates ramp from CA$31 million in Q1 to CA$124 million in Q4, reflecting the expected production build at Sangdong.

Risks

Key risks cited in the report include commodity price risk, as a significant decline in tungsten prices could negatively impact margins and management's decision to expand production. Additional risks include political risk related to assets in Portugal and South Korea (though considered remote given the jurisdictions), permitting risk tied to regulatory changes that could affect operations, financial risk as additional capital may be required for expansion and vertical integration, and operational risk from potential disruptions similar to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Analyst Outlook and Stock Information

Sekelsky views ALM as the leader in the tungsten space and considers the company to be "the primary avenue for investors to gain exposure to tungsten prices going forward." At the time of publication, ALM shares were trading at US$17.78, implying approximately 8.3% upside to the US$19.25 price target.

The stock has a 52-week range of US$1.97 to US$22.55, approximately 262.78 million shares outstanding, and a three-month average daily trading volume of roughly 4.68 million shares. The analyst assigns a volatility rating of 4, indicating higher-than-average price fluctuations expected over a 12-month period.
