Kaiser Aluminum Selloff Provides Attractive Entry Point, UBS Securities Says
Kaiser Aluminum (KALU) shares fell about 19% from August highs providing investors an attractive entry point into a business with improving earnings power, UBS Securities said in a note Monday.The selloff, which analysts described as overdone, is due to concerns over renegotiations of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, Fred Stephan's appointment as chief executive, and scrap spread sustainability, according to the note.Underlying fundamentals are strengthening, with price, volume and product mix driving roughly $41 million of Q2 EBITDA growth, the brokerage said.Scrap remains a significant tailwind, with the company's Q2 results suggesting that scrap-related tailwinds are a bigger earnings driver than appreciated by the market, analysts said.The brokerage said it sees continued benefits from investments at Warrick and Trentwood, alongside the end of aero destocking as build rates accelerate.UBS Securities upgraded Kaiser Aluminum to buy from neutral, and raised its price target to $184 from $179.Price: $157.51, Change: $+1.13, Percent Change: +0.72%

Kaiser Aluminum Likely to Focus on Deleveraging, UBS Says
Kaiser Aluminum (KALU) is expected to return to earnings growth and generate stronger free cash flow, but deleveraging could be the near term priority, UBS said in a note Monday.The report said EBITDA is expected to benefit from recent investments and a recovery in aerospace demand following a roughly two-year de-stocking cycle.However, the note said elevated leverage will remain a constraint, with the company likely prioritizing debt reduction."In our view KALU is unlikely to lift cash returns (div growth + repurchases) until at least 2028," the report said.The note also said its products are less reliant on scrap & imports due to impurity thresholds, meaning it gets a smaller benefit from tariffs compared with its peers.UBS initiated coverage on the stock with a Neutral rating and a $176 price target.Price: $176.63, Change: $+7.21, Percent Change: +4.26%
