Howmet Aerospace (ISIN US4432011082) was trading at USD 228.35 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026, at 11:06 a.m. ET, down 0.53 percent from the prior close. The company will announce third-quarter 2026 results on October 29, 2026, according to StockTitan in a release dated October 1, 2026. That date gives the market its next scheduled test after a strong second quarter.

October 29 is the next test

The October 29 release will show whether Howmet can extend the operating momentum described in its second-quarter call. The release and presentation materials are scheduled for 7:00 a.m. ET, followed by a webcast at 10:00 a.m. ET, according to StockTitan.

The timing matters because management lifted its full-year 2026 outlook during the Q2 call. The company guided to USD 10.05 billion in full-year revenue, USD 3.23 billion in EBITDA and adjusted EPS of USD 5.27, with free cash flow guidance of USD 1.9 billion, as reported in the Yahoo Finance transcript of the August 6, 2026 earnings call.

Q2 growth raised the bar

Howmet reported second-quarter revenue of USD 2.55 billion, up 24 percent year over year, while adjusted EPS reached USD 1.33 against a USD 1.24 consensus estimate. Revenue also exceeded the USD 2.43 billion estimate, according to MarketBeat in its September 28, 2026 report.

The earnings call adds operating detail: adjusted EBITDA margin reached 32.1 percent, 340 basis points higher than a year earlier, while commercial aerospace revenue grew 28 percent and gas turbine revenue rose 38 percent. The contrast is important for the October report because Engine Products revenue increased 32 percent to USD 1.37 billion, while Engineered Structures revenue declined 13 percent after a divestiture, according to Yahoo Finance.

Consensus target sits above the quote

MarketBeat reported a consensus Buy rating from 21 analysts on September 20, 2026, with 17 Buy ratings, two Strong Buy ratings and two Hold ratings. Its average 12-month target of USD 318 stands 39.3 percent above the USD 228.35 NYSE price, while recent published targets ranged from USD 326 to USD 350, according to MarketBeat.
