On October 31, Howmet Aerospace Inc. fell 3.02% in Regular Trading, trading near $199.65, with turnover of $293 million.
The clearest catalyst was an analyst action: BNP Paribas lowered its price target on Howmet Aerospace Inc. to $250 from $310, which appeared to weigh on valuation sentiment during the session.
The move came despite strong recent fundamentals. The company reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.46, above the $1.37 consensus, on revenue of $2.703 billion versus the expected $2.591 billion, and raised its next-year adjusted EPS outlook to $5.49-$5.51, above the $5.34 consensus. Even so, the latest target cut signaled that some institutions have become more cautious on valuation after the earnings-driven rally.
