What the filing says
Kaiser Aluminum reported Q3 2026 net sales of $1.215 billion (up from $844M YoY) and conversion revenue of $439M (+25% YoY). Adjusted EBITDA was $84M with 19.1% margin. Nine-month adjusted EBITDA reached $379M. Net debt leverage improved to 2.0x from 3.4x at year-end 2025; cash rose to $117M, liquidity to $687M. Company maintained full-year 2026 outlook for conversion revenue growth at high end of 10-15% range and adjusted EBITDA growth of 45-55% (now toward lower end). CEO Keith Harvey to transition to Executive Chairman; Fred Stephan becomes CEO effective November 1, 2026.
Why this rating
Strong margin expansion and debt improvement are material, but Q3 EBITDA margin compression (YoY) and CEO transition create headwinds. Relative to ~$1.3B market cap, $379M nine-month EBITDA is solid but growth guidance reduction and operational headwinds limit business trajectory change.
