Century Aluminum

CENX

Market cap $4.47B

Century Aluminum Company is rated a buy, leveraging vertical integration and surging US aluminum premiums amid global supply deficits and aggressive US trade policy. CENX's strategic shift toward value-added aluminum, including $120M invested in Iceland's facility, aims to boost margins and reduce reliance on commodity pricing. Recent transformer failures at the Icelandic smelter and increased stock-based compensation present near-term risks, though capacity additions in South Carolina should offset disruptions.

CENX posts quarterly earnings miss despite higher sales, as weaker shipments and mix weigh on performance.
