Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 39 days.
The thesis — published November 10, 2025
Near-term upside looks possible because investors are upbeat and the recent average price looks supportive. Q3 profit jumped 158 percent, and the company is moving ahead with cleaner smelting (ELYSIS) for consumer packaging. It is also investing in renewable power and gallium. Aluminum prices still swing, but better execution and these green moves could draw automatic buying from investment funds. Aim for a 3-month rebound by buying dips.
Primary drivers
- Q3 profits soared, signaling stronger operations and better cost control
- Cleaner ELYSIS smelting could win customers seeking low-carbon packaging
- Positive mood and recent average price trend are helping near-term action
- If the economy improves, aluminum demand can lift results in a rebound
