From Zacks Investment Research: 2025-04-25 12:44:00

Howmet Aerospace Inc. is set to release first-quarter 2025 results on May 1, with earnings estimated at 77 cents per share on revenues of $1.93 billion. Earnings estimates have remained stable, showing a 35.1% increase from last year, with revenue expected to grow by 6%. The company has a strong earnings surprise history, but this time, our model does not predict a beat due to an Earnings ESP of +0.20% and a Zacks Rank #4. Howmet faces challenges in the commercial transportation market, production issues at Boeing, supply chain disruptions, and high costs impacting its bottom line. However, strength in the commercial aerospace and defense sectors are positive factors. The stock has outperformed the industry and market in the past three months, but its valuation remains a concern. Investors should approach cautiously and wait for clearer signs of recovery before investing.
