Century Aluminum shares moved higher after Wells Fargo lifted its price target, arguing that tight global supply should keep aluminum prices supported through at least the third quarter of 2026. The bank also highlighted high power costs and a growing shift from copper to aluminum as key tailwinds for the metal and the company. This upbeat outlook comes after a period of sharp declines in Century Aluminum’s stock, which had been pressured by broader market weakness and specific trading activity, making the recent upgrade particularly notable for investors watching the rebound.
