Constellium Announces Minimum Price Increase Of $0.15 Per Pound For All Flat Rolled Products Shipped In The U.S, Due To Recent Market Dynamics And Other Economic Drivers. Select Products May Require Higher Increases

Oil and gold are the first things that come to mind when investors think about mining and exploration stocks, but the sector is far more diverse and expansive than just two commodities.
Coal, natural gas, construction materials like limestone, industrial metals like copper and aluminum, and even the lithium in our batteries, all come from mining companies.
However, mining operations consume immense amounts of time and capital expenditure, so mining companies tend to perform well during economic booms, and poorly during downturns.
As luck would have it, we have a strong economy, low inflation, and a new, business-friendly administration, all pointing to a very good year for mining stocks.
Here are four stocks that are well-positioned for growth through 2025.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rio Tinto Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rio#NYSE">RIO</a>)</h2>
Rio Tinto Group is a diversified large-cap mining company with a $100 billion market cap and operations in numerous industrial metals and materials. Based in Melbourne, RIO trades on several global stock exchanges, including the FTSE, ASX, and the NYSE.
The company was named after the original mine it purchased from the Spanish government in 1871. Over time, RIO has become the world&#8217;s second-largest public mining company, focusing on iron ore, aluminum, copper/diamonds, and energy minerals (like uranium).
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="299" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165348/RIO-1024x299.png" alt="" class="wp-image-752215" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165348/RIO-1024x299.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165348/RIO-300x87.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165348/RIO-768x224.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165348/RIO.png 1293w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
RIO shares have a few tailwinds that could benefit investors in 2025. First, the company has been dropping unprofitable coal mining operations to improve efficiency and recently purchased Arcadium Lithium in a $6.7 billion deal to add more properties to its renewable energy portfolio (RIO is now the third largest lithium miner in the world).
Additionally, the company is said to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43040137/rio-tinto-and-glencore-weigh-historic-merger-shaking-up-global-mining?adt_ei=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D&amp;he=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D&amp;el=ResearchDaily">pursuing a merger</a> with Glencore, which would create the largest combined mining company in the world. With demand for copper, aluminum, and lithium expected to increase as more electric infrastructure is built, RIO is set up to be a major beneficiary. The stock is a consensus Buy based on nine analysts covering the stock, and the average price target is $73, representing a 17% upside. Plus, that 7% dividend yield isn't too shabby, either.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Constellium SE (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cstm#NYSE">CSTM</a>)</h2>
Constellium was part of Rio Tinto Group but was spun out in 2011 when the company sold its Alcan Engineered Products unit. Today, Constellium is a major manufacturer of aluminum and various related alloys with plants in North America, Asia, and Europe. Constellium is headquartered in Paris and employs over 12,000 full-time workers.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="298" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165355/CSTM-1024x298.png" alt="" class="wp-image-752216" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165355/CSTM-1024x298.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165355/CSTM-300x87.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165355/CSTM-768x223.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165355/CSTM.png 1300w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Compared to its former parent company, Constellium is small. The company has a mere $1.5 billion market cap and posted $1.6 billion in revenue last quarter, but it has a high-profile list of clients in the aerospace and automotive industries, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Boeing, and Airbus.
According to analyst reports, the stock is a consensus Buy with an average price target over $20, which would be nearly double the current market price. The company recently announced it's moving to US-based accounting principles (like filing 10K reports with the SEC), which could hint at potential expansion into new US markets. With defense spending expected to increase over the next decade, companies manufacturing lightweight and innovative aluminum products stand to reap the rewards.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alcoa Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aa#NYSE">AA</a>)</h2>
Alcoa Corp. used to be a staple amongst Jim Cramer's most essential earnings calls and guidance reports. Still, the long-time aluminum producer has seen its market cap shrink from nearly $17 billion to just over $10 billion in the last three years.
Year-over-year revenue growth declined for seven consecutive quarters starting in Q3 2022, and 2023 full-year gross profit was a disappointing $738 million (down from $2.2 billion in 2022). However, the last two quarterly reports have shown that revenue is growing again, and the stock is positioned fundamentally and technically for a turnaround.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="298" src="https://editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/AA -1024x298.png" alt="" class="wp-image-752217" /></figure>
Alcoa primarily produces aluminum and bauxite and operates in 10 countries, including the United States, Australia, Iceland, and several Caribbean nations. At its peak in the bull market in 2022, the stock traded near the $90 range.
Today, it sits around $40 and only has a Hold rating and a $43 price target based on 15 analyst reports. However, revenue growth has returned, and the stock's 200-day moving average could act as a support level for a continuing uptrend.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BHP Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bhp#NYSE">BHP</a>)</h2>
BHP is the world's largest mining company, with a market cap of over $125 billion and operations in materials like iron core, copper, zinc, gold, silver, uranium, and more. The company is based in Australia but has mines worldwide, including domestic operations in Queensland and Western Australia, plus international extraction sites in Canada, Brazil, and Chile.
BHP's copper operations are expected to be a main profit driver over the next few decades as the material is required for EV batteries, data center grids, and other electrification projects. The company expects copper demand to increase by 70% by 2050, and recent output from the Escondida mine in Chile has significantly boosted BHP's production.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="298" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165445/BHP-1024x298.png" alt="" class="wp-image-752219" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165445/BHP-1024x298.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165445/BHP-300x87.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165445/BHP-768x223.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27165445/BHP.png 1300w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Additionally, the company has found another profit driver: potash! BHP has become one of the largest potash producers, a water-soluble potassium mineral commonly used in fertilizer. Based on coverage from eight different analysts, BHP shares are currently a consensus Buy, with an average price target of $67 (indicating a potential 34% upside from the current market price).
The valuation looks cheap with a 16.1 P/E ratio, and the stock also pays a hefty 5.8% dividend yield. BHP is also a serial M/A participant, and that type of business is expected to pick up under a merger-friendly Trump administration.

4 Mining Stocks to Buy for a Booming 2025

As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-presidential-election">Election Week 2024</a> is upon us, Wall Street is geared up for sector-specific shakeups, with JPMorgan's Bill Peterson spotlighting a decisive split in potential stock moves.
With a Democratic win likely to power up the clean energy sector and a Donald Trump victory poised to boost steel, the stakes are high for investors in metals, mining and clean tech.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Harris Win: Green Light For Clean Tech Rally?</h1>
Should Vice-President Kamala Harris take the White House, expect a boost across clean tech stocks, especially those linked to electric vehicles (EV) and hydrogen.
Peterson points to EVgo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVGO#NASDAQ">EVGO</a>), ChargePoint Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHPT#NASDAQ">CHPT</a>) and lithium players like Lithium Americas Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAC#NYSE">LAC</a>) and Piedmont Lithium Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLL#NASDAQ">PLL</a>) as likely to benefit from sustained clean energy initiatives.
Stocks like Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) could also rally, riding on investor confidence that government spending won't dry up for sectors heavily backed by the Inflation Reduction Act and the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Win: Steel's Comeback With A Dose Of Protectionism</h1>
A Trump victory could be a bullish setup for the steel sector, especially for domestic players like Nucor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>), and Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>), which would benefit from protectionist policies supporting U.S. steel pricing.
Peterson highlights that Trump's stance against the proposed acquisition of U.S. Steel by Nippon Steel Corp (OTCPK: NISTF) could keep the spotlight on domestic operators, while Trade Expansion Act Section 232 tariffs could make U.S. steel prices attractive.
Kaiser Aluminum Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KALU#NASDAQ">KALU</a>) stands to gain over Constellium SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSTM#NYSE">CSTM</a>) if more tariffs come into play, thanks to Kaiser&#8217;s U.S. footprint.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Rare Earths &amp; Base Metals: Supply Security Takes The Stage</h1>
Regardless of the outcome, Western supply chain security remains a hot-button issue, favorably positioning rare earth and graphite players like MP Materials Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>) and GrafTech International Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAF#NYSE">EAF</a>).
For base metals, names like Alcoa Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>) and Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) may see an impact from intensified China tariffs, with pricing ripple effects dependent on global stimulus responses.
With the election outcome set to shape market dynamics, these sectors have distinct paths forward. For now, it's a wait-and-see game for investors in metals, mining, and clean tech.

Gold Moves Lower; AT&T Earnings Top Views

Constellium shares are trading lower after the company reported Q3 EPS and sales that missed estimates, citing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, and expressed caution heading into 2025.

Based on current&nbsp;outlook, in 2024 it expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of &euro;580 million to &euro;600 million, excluding an estimated one-time impact of &euro;30 million to &euro;40 million from the flood in Switzerland, and excluding the non-cash impact of metal price lag.&nbsp;
Given the softness it is experiencing today across most of end markets with no signs of recovery in the near-term, it is&nbsp; also more cautious heading into 2025.

Exploring Constellium's Earnings Expectations

As every investor knows &#8212; a stock is cheap, and in decline, for a reason.
Over the last 12 months, the NYSE-listed shares of global aluminum giant Constellium (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSTM#NYSE">CSTM</a>) are down 12%, while rivals like Alcoa Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>), Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KALU#NASDAQ">KALU</a>) and Century Aluminum Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CENX#NASDAQ">CENX</a>) are all up. Alcoa is up 55%. CENX is like crypto aluminum, up 155.8% in a year.
Its price-to-earnings ratio is not bad at 12x, and it has a new <a href="https://www.asminternational.org/constelliums-muscle-shoals-facility-receives-department-of-defense-grant-to-increase-casting-capacity/">$65 million investment</a> in a new aluminum plant being built in Alabama, though that is not expected to be operational until the second half of 2026.
What's the problem?
As some in Washington might say – it's Russia's fault.
That's sort of true. Constellium makes aluminum products that it casts from aluminum sheets, some of which it <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/constellium-keep-buying-aluminium-rusal-executive-2022-09-15/">imports</a> from Russian-based aluminum company Rusal. Prior to the war in Ukraine, the Europeans loved Russian aluminum – especially Rusal aluminum – because a lot of it is made in factories powered by a hydroelectric dam. This means it is deemed <a href="https://www.alcircle.com/press-release/rusal-achieves-100-green-aluminium-production-111484">low-carbon friendly aluminum</a>. But Rusal aluminum is facing restrictions and that means Constellium is now paying more for primary aluminum than a year ago and is focusing more on European and U.S. production. European producers are in worse shape as they have reduced primary aluminum production by about 30% over the last five years, likely due to environmental regulations.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Constellation: A Victim of Geopolitics</h3>
In April, the U.S. Government imposed a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-takes-action-targeting-russian-aluminum-copper-nickel-2024-04-12/">200% tariff on aluminum</a> products if they contained aluminum sourced from Russia, even if the finished product was made elsewhere. Since March 10, 2023, Washington already had increased tariffs on Russian aluminum products up from the Sectio to 200%, up from the roughly 25% in the Section 232 aluminum tariffs imposed globally by then-president Trump in 2018. The supply of Russian aluminum to the United States is currently zero.
U.S. importers have turned to the Middle East for alternatives, <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/aluminum">increasing prices</a> by an additional $200 per ton from those sources due to U.S. demand.
Europe is <a href="https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/10/17/europes-tough-choice-sanction-aluminium-or-proceed-with-climate-goals">thinking of doing the same</a>. This weighs heavily on Constellium shares for the near term, at least until the European Commission decides on what to do about Russian aluminum imports.
A March 4 <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/europe-battle-with-us-aluminium-if-eu-opts-russian-ban-2024-03-04/">article</a> by Reuters put it this way: "The loss of Russian metal would leave Europe with a shortfall of around 500,000 tons. Middle Eastern suppliers will not be able to fully substitute Europe&#8217;s shortfall quickly."
A small group of EU countries keep pushing for <a href="https://www.mining.com/web/aluminum-group-steps-up-call-on-eu-to-bar-imports-of-the-russian-metal/">tougher measures</a> against Russia, led by Poland and the Baltic states. They want U.S.-style restrictions on aluminum imports. Some EU economies are blocking this move, most likely Germany and France, which rely on imports at least in part to manufacture cars and aircraft.
Restrictions on aluminum could pose a threat to domestic industries, which are already losing out in competitiveness to Asia, according to Chris Weafer, the Chief Executive of Macro-Advisory , an investment research firm and consultancy focused on emerging markets with offices in Washington DC. The EU relies on imports for over 90% of its aluminum needs, with 8-9% coming from Russia.
"The EU is walking a tightrope between the need to increase the sanctions pressure on Russia while at the same time…keeping its own economy and domestic enterprises afloat," Weafer wrote in an <a href="https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/10/17/europes-tough-choice-sanction-aluminium-or-proceed-with-climate-goals">op-ed</a> published by Euro News on Oct. 17.
If there are new sanctions, Weafer said in a report to clients last month, there will be some further Russian imports this year because of residual contracts. But after that, Russian imports "eventually fall to zero for the foreseeable future," he wrote. If there are no sanctions – which is still possible if big industry in Western Europe get their way – then Weafer thinks Russian imports will fall gradually as more European companies will either choose domestic production or be pressured to import from elsewhere.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Earnings Call To Reveal More This Week</h3>
Constellium will have their earnings call on Wednesday, Oct. 23 before the market opens.
Investors are likely to wait and see what Europe does about Russia. Constellium's long-term prospects, meanwhile, seem okay.
The company's stock survived the Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs imposed by the Trump administration in March 2018. Constellium's share price ended the month at $10.85 per share and hit $12.15 per share in May 2018 despite the higher prices associated at the time with the tariff. Constellium today trades closer to $15.
Alcoa stocks rose last week after an earnings beat. JP Morgan <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/alcoa-analysts-increase-their-forecasts-after-upbeat-earnings/ar-AA1ss6dg">raised</a> its price target from $36 to $39.&nbsp; That call is too late for investors now. Alcoa has already surpassed that target and was trading over $41 on Friday.
Constellium could see similar fortunes.
Aluminum is one of the metals required for the energy grid and for new EVs and solar. Global demand is set to reach 85 million tons in 2030, up from 66 million tons in 2020. Given tariffs as they are now, it is clear the U.S. sees aluminum as a critical sector worth protecting, so Constellium's Alabama project should find plenty of demand locally. Longer-term buyers may be rewarded. For now, out of the four big aluminum companies – AA, KALU and CENX – CSTM is the worst performer. Still, it has a better profit margin than Alcoa at 2.35% versus negative 5.14% for Alcoa and Alcoa just got an upgrade.
