What the Analysts think about Century Aluminum

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Century Aluminum stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Century Aluminum, the leading primary aluminum manufacturer in the U.S., has benefited from the 50% import tariff on aluminum, with the crucial Midwest premium hitting a record 62.5 cents per pound, significantly boosting its revenue margins. (Reuters)
Analysts believe the Midwest premium could rise further to 70 cents per pound in order to fully reflect the 50% tariff, pointing to continued upside potential for Century Aluminum’s selling prices. (Reuters)
Glencore’s ownership of more than 40% of Century Aluminum’s shares gives the company strategic capital backing and secure offtake agreements, lowering its financing risks and ensuring a reliable alumina supply. (Reuters)
Some industry sources warn that the sharp increase in domestic aluminum premiums could ultimately weaken demand, raising the risk of a decline in sales volume for producers such as Century Aluminum. (Reuters)
Century Aluminum is dealing with higher production costs because its planned federally supported smelter projects are having trouble securing long-term power contracts below $40 per MWh, as they compete against technology giants that are willing to pay up to $115 per MWh. (Reuters)
Ongoing trade tensions with Canada—now preparing aid programs while maintaining its own retaliatory aluminum tariffs—create significant regulatory uncertainty that could disrupt Century Aluminum’s export routes and North American supply chain integration. (Reuters)
