What the filing says
Howmet Aerospace reported Q2 2026 revenue of $2.547 billion (24% YoY growth, 21% organic), with Adjusted EPS of $1.33 (46% YoY growth). The company completed the $1.8 billion acquisition of Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing (CAM) from Stanley Black & Decker on April 6, 2026. Year-to-date share repurchases totaled $800 million (1.9 million shares retired at avg. $248.29/share), exceeding full-year 2025 repurchases of $700 million. The board raised the quarterly dividend 17% to $0.14/share. Full-year 2026 guidance was increased: revenue $10.0–10.1 billion (baseline +$400M), Adjusted EBITDA $3.21–3.25 billion (baseline +$170M), and Free Cash Flow $1.85–1.95 billion (baseline +$150M).
Why this rating
Strong organic growth (21%) and margin expansion (340 bps) demonstrate operational momentum. CAM integration tracking and increased capex suggest confidence. However, at $75B market cap, the $1.8B deal and $800M buyback (~2.4% and 1.1% of cap respectively) are meaningful but not transformational. Raised FY guidance reflects execution, not external shock. Routine dividend increase. No material risk disclosed.
