What Constellium does

Makes rolled and extruded aluminum products for aerospace, automotive and packaging customers.

Passes the cost of aluminium through to customers and earns a conversion premium for rolling and extruding it, so profit follows volume and mix, with aerospace plate and auto structures earning more per tonne than can sheet. It was created in 2011 from Alcan's engineered-products units.

In one line: A smaller, aluminum-focused Alcoa.

What could go right

  • Aerospace build-rate recovery
  • EV structural aluminum demand

What could go wrong

  • Auto production cycles
  • Aluminum and energy price swings

Moat: narrow (scale, customer qualification). Long-qualified aerospace and auto alloys are costly to re-source; commodity-linked margins limit pricing power.

Questions

Who are Constellium's main competitors?
Named competitors: Alcoa (AA), Kaiser Aluminum (KALU), Novelis (private or unlisted), Norsk Hydro (NHY.OL), Arconic (private or unlisted). The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes Grupa Kety (KTY.WA), Henan Mingtai Aluminum Industrial (601677.SS), Century Aluminum (CENX), Henan Zhongfu Industrial (600595.SS), Xinjiang Joinworld (600888.SS), UACJ (5741.T).
Is Constellium expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 8.3× against a peer median of 10.7×, 5th cheapest of 15 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -7% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +9%, so the hurdle is -15 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Constellium stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -35.6% against -27.8% for the median peer; over one year +39.1%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
