ATI Inc's stock rose by 3.02%, reaching a 52-week high. This increase comes amid a broader market decline, with the Nasdaq-100 down 0.69% and the S&P 500 down 0.19%.
The surge is attributed to the appointment of Rob Foster as CFO, effective January 1, 2026. Foster's extensive experience in operational and financial roles is expected to drive sustained growth for ATI, particularly as the company raised its 2025 guidance, projecting adjusted EBITDA to reach up to $858 million, driven by strong momentum in the aerospace and defense sectors.
This leadership change reflects ATI's commitment to continuity and strategic investment, positioning the company well for future growth. Investors are optimistic about the potential for enhanced operational efficiency and shareholder value under Foster's leadership.
Wall Street analysts forecast ATI stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for ATI is 123.00 USD with a low forecast of 120.00 USD and a high forecast of 135.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.

Reason
KeyBanc analyst Philip Gibbs last night upgraded ATI to Overweight from Sector Weight with a $120 price target. The company's second half of 2025 core EBITDA margin performance is tracking within its 2027 targeted range despite "meaningful" aerospace and defense sales growth to come, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says ATI also has an "exotic" materials portfolio that can be leveraged should nuclear demand accelerate. It upped estimates and believes the company's "strong" free cash flow outlook supports "refreshing" the share buyback authorization.
