Howmet Aerospace stock closed at USD 229.85 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 18, 2026, after rising 1.81 percent from the prior session. The shares were up 12.2 percent from the 2026 starting level of USD 204.89, keeping the earnings outlook central to the valuation.

Revenue rose 24.1 percent

Howmet reported second quarter 2026 revenue of USD 2.55 billion, an increase of 24.1 percent from the same period a year earlier, according to StockStory on September 22, 2026. The report also said the quarter exceeded analysts' revenue expectations by 4.9 percent.

The same September 22, 2026 report said Howmet's full-year EBITDA and revenue guidance exceeded analysts' expectations, although its guidance update was the weakest among the aerospace companies reviewed. That contrast matters because strong quarterly growth is already reflected in a stock trading above its 2026 opening level.

Valuation remains above the close

An updated valuation model lifted Howmet's fair value estimate from USD 325.93 to USD 337.74 per share on September 20, 2026, as reported by ad-hoc-news.de. The USD 11.81 increase in that estimate is separate from the MarketBeat consensus target of USD 318.00 reported for September 18, 2026.

The latest closing price was below the reported 52-week range midpoint but remained above the USD 183.83 low and below the USD 310.00 high as of September 18, 2026. MarketBeat data cited in the same report showed a consensus rating of Buy based on 2 strong buy ratings, 17 buy ratings and 2 hold ratings, with no sell ratings.

Stock stays below USD 310 high

Howmet Aerospace stock traded between USD 224.24 and USD 230.36 during the September 18, 2026 session, with volume of about 4.73 million shares and a market capitalization of approximately USD 91.97 billion. The combination of a 24.1 percent revenue increase and a 12.2 percent year-to-date share gain leaves future earnings execution as the measurable test for the valuation.

On September 21, 2026, Zacks listed a consensus estimate of USD 1.36 earnings per share for the quarter ending in September 2026, implying year-over-year growth of 43.16 percent, while its earnings calendar did not provide a confirmed reporting date.
