However, although the one-year development reflects strong investor confidence in its aluminium industry prospects, doubts loom large over stock volatility. The data compiled by InvestingPro indicates stock trading at a high price-earnings ratio of 47.61, parallel to a comparatively narrow gross profit margin of 9.52 per cent.
InvestingPro projects a slight undervaluation of the shares, which would, in turn, give a potential edge to the investors willing to gain insight into and navigate this volatile stock.
Moreover, the third-quarter 2025 earnings, as reported by Century Aluminum, missed analysts’ estimates on earnings per share. Nevertheless, the stock saw a modest higher edge in aftermarket trading, denoting mixed investor reactions.
