Almonty Industries: A Wolfram Champion's Stock Market Restructuring Triggers a 49% Correction
Published on 07/29/2026 at 06:31 | Redaktion boerse-global.de
The tungsten miner that has ridden the wave of Western supply-chain anxiety to a 264% annual gain is now giving back nearly half of that rally in a correction that has accelerated sharply in recent weeks. Almonty Industries, which produces the critical metal essential for semiconductor fabrication and defence applications, saw its shares close at C$17.14 on Tuesday, shedding 8.83% in a single session and extending a month-long slide that now stands at 25%.
The sell-off has been brutal by any measure. From the April peak of C$33.35 — a 52-week high that crowned a spectacular run — the stock has tumbled 48.61%. Yet context matters: even after this correction, the shares remain 42% higher year-to-date and have more than tripled over the trailing twelve months. The current drawdown is less a vote of no confidence in the business and more the natural consequence of a parabolic rally that had to correct at some point.
Dual Exchange Exit Accelerates the Pressure
What has given the correction its particular velocity is a structural overhaul of Almonty’s stock market presence. The company is in the process of delisting from both the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Australian Securities Exchange, moves it attributes entirely to cost and efficiency considerations rather than any operational distress.
This week, Almonty is dispatching letters to all Australian CDI holders detailing the delisting timeline and their options for converting or selling their stakes. Australia’s securities regulator has already approved the withdrawal. Trading in CHESS depositary interests on the ASX will cease on August 28, with the formal delisting following on September 1. The TSX exit takes effect at the close of trading on July 31.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Almonty?
The rationale is straightforward: trading volumes on the ASX have been thin and declining. As of July 14, Australian investors held just 0.80% of all outstanding shares through the CDI structure. Management argues that the financial and administrative burdens of maintaining the ASX listing no longer serve shareholder interests. After the delistings, liquidity will concentrate on the Nasdaq, where the stock trades under the ticker "ALM," and on the Frankfurt exchange.
A Key Backer Trims Its Position
The timing of the delisting announcements has coincided with profit-taking by a strategic investor. On July 22, Deutsche Rohstoff AG, a long-term anchor shareholder in Almonty, sold part of its stake. The move is understandable — when a position built over years multiplies several times over, some realisation of gains is rational portfolio management. Deutsche Rohstoff remains on board, but the sale has created a temporary overhang of shares that has weighed on the price.
This combination of factors — a dual delisting creating administrative uncertainty, a key investor trimming, and a stock that had run too far too fast — has produced extreme volatility. The 30-day annualised volatility stands at 83%, a figure more typical of micro-cap speculatives than a company with a market capitalisation of €3.32 billion. The 14-day relative strength index has fallen to 34.2, edging towards oversold territory.
The Operating Story Remains Intact
While the stock has been under pressure, the underlying business has been delivering positive signals. On July 14, Almonty announced an expansion of its long-term off-take agreement with Global Tungsten & Powders, a subsidiary of Austria’s Plansee Group. The deal secures long-term tungsten supply for a metal that is embedded in everything from semiconductors to armour-piercing ammunition.
Tungsten supply outside China has become a strategic priority for Western industries, and Almonty is positioning itself as one of the few relevant players beyond Chinese supply chains. The company’s Sangdong mine in South Korea is a key asset in this narrative. Further validation came from Montana, where Red Mountain Mining has commenced test drilling at the Pioneer Tungsten Project, explicitly citing proximity to Almonty’s Gentung deposit as an indicator of potential high-grade mineralisation. In the mining industry, such neighbour effects are not trivial — they indirectly confirm the geological value of Almonty’s own assets.

Analysts Hold Their Ground
At least one German research house has maintained its conviction despite the share price weakness. Sphene Capital reaffirmed its "Buy" rating on Almonty on July 20, sticking with the recommendation it first issued in May. The analyst community appears to view the current correction as a mechanical adjustment to the stock’s trading structure rather than a deterioration in the company’s fundamentals.
Chart watchers are now focused on whether the stock can find a floor. The shares are trading 27.19% below their 50-day moving average of C$23.54, a significant deviation that suggests short-term momentum has overshot to the downside. The 200-day moving average of C$19.21 could serve as a reference point for stabilisation — or as the next level to test if selling pressure persists.
The weeks ahead will determine whether this correction is a healthy consolidation within an ongoing bull trend or the beginning of a deeper re-rating. What is clear is that the operational case for Almonty — as a critical tungsten supplier to Western industry — has not been diminished by the stock’s recent mechanics. The question is simply what price the market is willing to pay for that exposure while the company navigates a messy but necessary stock market reorganisation.
