What the filing says
Howmet Aerospace reported Q3 2026 revenue of $2.703 billion (up 29% YoY, 25% organic), Adjusted EPS of $1.46 (up 54%), and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 32.5% (up 310 bps). The company repurchased $500 million of common stock in Q3 (1.9 million shares at $264.77/share average) and $1.1 billion year-to-date. On October 28, 2026, the Board authorized an additional $5 billion increase to the share repurchase program, raising total authorization to $5.397 billion. Full-year 2027 revenue guidance: ~$11.5 billion (12% growth). Quarterly dividend increased 17% to $0.14/share.
Why this rating
Strong Q3 results and 12% revenue guidance are positive, but buyback and dividend represent ~$6.1B capital allocation against $75B market cap (~8% of cap). Material shareholder-friendly move but earnings growth is already reflected; no transformational M&A or strategic shift disclosed.
