CHICAGO, Oct. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Century Aluminum Company (NASDAQ: CENX) will report third quarter 2026 earnings on Thursday, November 5, 2026, after market close. The news release will be issued through GlobeNewswire.

CENX posted a sharp Q2 profit increase as higher aluminum prices and shipments drove EBITDA to $326.9M, despite a sales miss.

Century Aluminum highlights full-capacity smelters, strong U.S. demand and Oklahoma progress as it targets a year-end investment decision.

CENX's Q2 outlook hinges on stronger aluminum prices, but rising costs, restart expenses and commodity dependence may cloud the earnings picture.

Century Aluminum (CENX) remains a Buy, benefiting from tariff-driven margin expansion and recent operational upgrades at Mt. Holly. Tariff policy changes could yield $39.8–$200 million in annualized cost savings, notably boosting CENX's EPS and bottom line. Share dilution at nearly 5% YoY tempers enthusiasm, preventing an upgrade to Strong Buy despite solid upside potential.

Century Aluminum (CENX) is rated a buy, supported by strong financials, discounted valuation, and favorable political and market tailwinds. CENX's expansion includes Mount Holly smelter recommissioning and a major Oklahoma joint venture, both poised to boost domestic production and revenue. The company maintains a robust asset-to-liability ratio (1.94x), improved liquidity, and ongoing deleveraging, positioning it for upcoming capital expenditures.
