BMO Capital analyst Katja Jancic upgraded Century Aluminum to Outperform from Market Perform with an unchanged price target of $22. Century's valuation is "compelling" following the recent selloff, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says the market is underappreciating the potential benefit from "currently healthy" Midwest Premium and aluminum price, Century's Hawesville optionality, and the increasing potential for shareholder returns. BMO points out the company's profitability profile has improved with the acquisition of 55% of the Jamalco refinery and from the 45X credit.

B. Riley analyst Lucas Pipes raised the firm's price target on Century Aluminum to $24 from $22 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Century Aluminum reported solid Q3 results, and while the firm views the Q4 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $70M-$80M as robust, Century will realize further upside in Q1, where management pointed to a quarterly run-rate of around $100M, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The company has also realized meaningful progress on multiple fronts, including exploring strategic alternatives at Hawesville, a timely extension of fixed LME-linked alumina supply contracts, additional 45X benefits, optimization at Jamalco, and operational execution amidst improved aluminum fundamentals, B. Riley says.
