Howmet Aerospace stock (ISIN US4432011082) closed at USD 231.27 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, gaining 1.27 percent from the prior close. The company has scheduled its third quarter 2026 results for October 29, giving the market a defined checkpoint after a quarter with USD 2.547 billion in revenue.

October 29 sets the next checkpoint

Howmet Aerospace said on October 1, 2026, that it will release third quarter results on October 29, 2026, at 7:00 a.m. ET, followed by a conference call at 10:00 a.m. ET. The date matters because the second quarter included revenue growth of 24.1 percent year over year and quarterly diluted EPS of USD 1.33, according to MarketBeat on October 2, 2026.

The Q2 EPS figure exceeded the USD 1.24 consensus cited by MarketBeat, while revenue topped the USD 2.43 billion estimate. That comparison leaves the October report with two clear operating markers: whether growth remains above 20 percent and whether earnings can stay above the prior consensus level.

Guidance points to higher earnings

Howmet Aerospace set third quarter 2026 EPS guidance at USD 1.34-1.36 and full-year 2026 EPS guidance at USD 5.23-5.31, according to MarketBeat. The company also raised its quarterly dividend from USD 0.12 to USD 0.14 per share, a 16.7 percent increase.

The market valuation remains demanding relative to the reported quarterly earnings. MarketBeat lists a Moderate Buy consensus from 21 analysts, with an average price target of USD 314.84, which places the target 36.1 percent above the October 2 closing price of USD 231.27.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Howmet Aerospace stock traded within a USD 183.83 to USD 310.00 52-week range on October 2, 2026. The closing price was 25.4 percent below the yearly high, while market capitalization stood at USD 92.5 billion and volume reached 2,240,731 shares.

That gap makes the October 29 release the next test of the company story. Revenue, EPS and the updated outlook will show whether the growth rates behind the second quarter can support the valuation already reflected in the analyst targets.
