Howmet Aerospace Reports Record Stock High, Increases 2025 Profit Forecast

Howmet Aerospace Inc. reached an all-time high stock price amid robust financial health and strong investor confidence, buoyed by exceptional year-over-year returns and revenue growth. The company reported first-quarter 2025 revenue of $1.94 billion, a 6% increase from the prior year, and adjusted earnings per share of $0.86, exceeding analyst expectations. Howmet also raised its 2025 profit outlook, now projecting adjusted earnings per share between $3.36 and $3.44, citing strong demand for its fasteners and aircraft parts as planemakers ramp up production. Despite the positive momentum, Howmet faces potential challenges from U.S. tariffs on imported materials, warning customers of possible shipment halts while seeking to negotiate tariff costs. The aerospace supplier is also prioritizing long-term contracts and capitalizing on increased demand following supply chain disruptions at a competitor’s factory. Analysts and industry observers continue to closely watch Howmet’s performance and growth prospects within the competitive aerospace sector.
