With Aluminum Prices in the Spotlight, 1 Analyst Thinks Constellium Stock Can Still Gain 22% from Here

With aluminum prices surging back into the spotlight, the setup for producers like Constellium SE (CSTM) is becoming increasingly compelling. Benchmark prices have climbed to multi-year highs recently, around $3,400 to $3,500 per ton, driven by supply disruptions, tight inventories, and resilient end-market demand across aerospace, automotive, and packaging.

The latest leg higher has been driven by geopolitical risks in the Middle East, where disruptions to major smelters and shipping routes have put global supply at risk. The disruption of key shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz and smelter outages in the Persian Gulf have pushed regional premiums to multi-year highs and created uncertainty around physical availability.

Beyond near-term shocks, production growth remains limited due to China’s capacity caps and environmental restrictions, while elevated energy costs, particularly in Europe, continue to pressure smelting economics.

However, demand for aluminum is being supported by powerful long-term trends. The metal plays a critical role in electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure, and lightweighting across industrial applications, creating a steady and durable demand backdrop.

Against this backdrop, BMO Capital sees further upside in Constellium and maintains an “Outperform” rating, as elevated aluminum prices and improving product mix could continue to drive earnings momentum. With a Street-high price target of $30, the analyst implies 10% upside from current levels.
