Howmet Aerospace is trading 5.9% up at $305.86 after reporting second-quarter revenue of $2.55 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.33, exceeding expectations.
- Strong aerospace and gas-turbine demand, including extraordinary land-based turbine demand, supported results.
- Management raised baseline full-year 2026 revenue guidance by $400 million to $10.05 billion and increased the dividend.
- The company-specific gain substantially outpaces the broader market’s modest advance; active August 6 earnings trading continues ahead of management’s 10:00 a.m. Eastern conference call.
