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.
