CENX: Section 232 Tariffs And Power Costs Will Support Future Cash Flows

Narrative Update: Century Aluminum Analysts have lifted their price targets on Century Aluminum by up to $18, citing updated supply and demand work that points to a wider projected aluminum supply deficit in 2026 and ongoing support from high electricity costs that keep alternative power uses, such as data centers, competitive. Analyst Commentary Recent Street research has focused on how a tighter aluminum supply outlook and high electricity costs could feed into Century Aluminum's earnings power and valuation over the next few years.

Kaiser Aluminum: Dangerous Valuation In May 2026

Summary Kaiser Aluminum is rated 'HOLD' due to excessive valuation above $170/share, despite strong recent results and sector tailwinds. KALU's 1Q26 saw record EPS, margin improvements, and leverage reduction to 2.8x, driven by packaging demand, aerospace recovery, and reshoring trends. The company’s specialization in value-added products and recycled feedstock limits commodity exposure but does not eliminate volatility or credit risk. My fair value target is $115/share, reflecting a more conservative 15-18x P/E multiple to account for KALU’s historical earnings volatility and sub-investment grade credit.
