- Howmet raised its 2026 revenue baseline after strong third-quarter growth across key end markets.

Howmet Aerospace stock traded at 185.33 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 16:30 CET on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. That was 5.64 percent below the 196.40-euro quote cited in the latest report published on Tuesday, November 3.
The move leaves the stock in focus after Howmet's October 29 third-quarter update raised the company's 2026 operating baseline. The aerospace supplier also issued an initial revenue view for 2027, giving investors a new forward reference beyond the current-year targets.
What Changed Since The Last Report
Howmet lifted its 2026 revenue baseline by 250 million US dollars to 10.300 billion US dollars. The adjusted earnings-per-share baseline rose to 5.50 US dollars, while free cash flow guidance increased to 2.000 billion US dollars.
Management's initial 2027 revenue view calls for approximately 11.5 billion US dollars, or about 12 percent growth from the increased 2026 guidance. The outlook points to continued expansion in commercial aerospace and stronger demand for gas turbine products.
Capital Returns Add A Second Focus
The board added 5 billion US dollars to the share repurchase authorization on October 28, taking the total remaining authorization to 5.397 billion US dollars. Howmet repurchased 500 million US dollars of stock during the quarter and raised its quarterly dividend by 17 percent to 0.14 US dollars per share.
For investors, the raised targets and expanded authorization provide two additional reference points alongside execution in aerospace production and gas turbine demand. The next assessment will center on whether demand translates into the production growth assumed in the outlook.
