In the second quarter of 2026, two major aluminium producers announced unusually strong financial results. Kaiser Aluminum in the United States posted record sales of $1.3 billion and net income of $97 million, far exceeding analyst expectations and prompting a higher full‑year outlook and a dividend increase. The company attributed the surge to a higher‑value product mix, recovering aerospace demand, and favorable scrap spreads. A month later, Brazil’s Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio reported a turnaround to a R$410 million profit after a loss the previous year. Revenue rose about 28 % to roughly R$2.5‑2.6 billion, and adjusted EBITDA jumped 273 % to a record R$705 million, driven by a sharp rise in global aluminium prices and lower production costs. Both firms highlighted the impact of rising LME aluminium prices, which were boosted by supply constraints and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. ~~Together,~~ No further aluminium‑specific earnings updates have been reported since these Q2 releases, leaving the ~~reports illustrate a broader trend of heightened~~ sector’s strong profitability ~~across the aluminium sector as market conditions improve and prices climb.~~ trend unchanged.
