Guru Commentaries on NAS:CENX
2026 Q1
What the manager wrote
Century Aluminum Company (CENX) is positioned to benefit significantly from its landmark joint development agreement with Emirates Global Aluminium to build a new primary aluminum smelter in Oklahoma. This project is expected to more than double U.S. primary aluminum production and represents a decade-long growth runway. The company reported a full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $425.1 million and management guided for Q1 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $215–235 million, indicating strong financial performance. The market currently undervalues the Oklahoma project and the broader reindustrialization narrative, which we believe will unlock substantial value for CENX.

Century Aluminum (CENX) significantly outperformed the S&P 500 with an impressive return of +88% in the first quarter of 2026. This performance reflects the company's strong positioning within the industrial and energy sectors, which are increasingly vital in the current economic landscape focused on energy independence and domestic production. The resilience of the U.S. economy and the ongoing growth phase of the cycle further support our positive outlook on Century Aluminum as a key player in these sectors.
