Kaiser Aluminum: Update For H2 2026 Justifies A Price Target Raise

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation delivered exceptional Q2 '26 results, driving a reassessment of normalized earnings and long-term outlook. I now estimate KALU's normalized AEPS at $10/share, up from $8, reflecting persistent aerospace recovery and improved packaging fundamentals. My KALU stock price target is raised to $120/share, but with KALU trading above 15-18x P/E, the risk/reward is not compelling.
