What the Analysts think about Century Aluminum
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Century Aluminum stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Century Aluminum is set to restart 50,000 metric tons of previously idled capacity at its Mt. Holly, South Carolina smelter with a $50 million investment, targeting full output by June 2026 and adding over 100 jobs.
President Trump's move to double Section 232 tariffs to 50% has lifted the Midwest aluminum premium to an all-time high of 62.5 cents per pound, significantly increasing Century Aluminum's profit margins on its North American output.
Analysts believe the Midwest premium could rise further to 70 cents per pound, potentially boosting Century Aluminum’s selling prices and further growing its EBITDA.
Analysts warn that the sharp increase in Section 232 tariffs to 50% could drive aluminum prices so high that U.S. demand may soften, posing the risk of lower sales volumes for Century Aluminum.
Century’s plans to build a new smelter and restart existing operations are limited by the difficulty of locking in affordable long-term electricity supply, as U.S. smelters face stiff competition from technology companies for a limited power supply, threatening the profitability of these projects.
Century Aluminum's earlier shutdown of its Hawesville, Kentucky smelter in 2022 due to high electricity costs highlights the company's exposure to power price swings, presenting a persistent operational risk.
